Tinkerbell is a loved fairy by young and old. I had to make a ________ Tink pillow for my daughter because she wanted this one so bad. This pillow is the ________ addition to anyones collection of Tink, and it is sure to be _______ by all Tinkerbell lovers as it is __________.
I used shitty, shitty, shat upon, and shitty and guess what…It totally made sense!
Unique is one word for it (and one I’m truly grateful for, though is it unique if she made two?). Another is hideous. It’s got more of an ugly-stepsister look that makes me think of reading Grimm as a kid. You can dress it up with colorful yarn and awkward stitching…still can’t take it out.
Another gem in the shop is a Minnie who looks, well if my little nephew drew it I’d say it was “awesome,” but I’m going with “smushed and awkward.”
Do people really not know when their work doesn’t look at all like what it’s supposed to be? In all seriousness, I drew better Tinks when I was in 7th grade and could needlepoint the drawings by just very carefully following pencil lines I’d laid down.
To be fair, my drawing skills aren’t as good now, but I can still see the difference.
Seriously, do people just not see what they’re doing?
#30 mtopia, well thankfully this item doesn’t include the soap.I’d hate to see what the soap would have picked up in that house-hubbies stubble, fairy crud,
shag carpet fallout…
#48 kittyofassisi- Holy fucking hell! How the hell could someone post something like that? How could you not SEE it before you used the photo? That’s utterly disgusting!
Thanks, mtopia #30, I checked out the soap saver but can’t figure out how it works. Wouldn’t the soap slide out & you’d have to feel around for it, banging your head on the shower wall? Real slap-stick.
I’d say WTF but she might wash my mouth out with that thing.
@#58 spandy: All of the above, but I thought the name was also rather regrettable. It seems to me that “soap sack” is incapable of sounding good. Even in a non-sexual way it just sounds gross for some reason.
Ick…that keyboard. I was already turned off that seller because of how horrible all her stuff is, but if I saw a seller with otherwise halfway decent stuff and then saw a keyboard like that, I definitely wouldn’t buy…all that cigarette ash implies those items are an allergy attack waiting to happen!
P.S. How does one get to be so bad at embroidery? I made better stuff when I was 7, and I generally don’t consider myself skilled at embroidery.
Etsy is headed down a drain where it’ll sink in all of this shit & I don’t mean turdy looking things.
It’s all the cheapo tacky grimy crappola that will obliterate truely handmade goods that have a decent level of quality & relative professional presentation.
OK, skills are lacking, but approaching this as Folk Art, it suddenly takes on a certain charm.
I’m not saying it’s good stuff, but that it’s SO BAD I want to buy it.
But I’ve always sought out the misfits; ugly and abandoned. That’s just what I do.
it’s really sad-she just doesn’t get it…ANY of it. i’d feel sorry for her but this is just disgusting and an insult to everyone
it’s also an insult to folk art #67
Folk art is one thing. Filthy crap is another .
And in the anals (sic) of folk art I hardly think this has any of the naivete or charm that the term implies.
#72- blondeweezie-
*RC & Moon Pies*
I’m trying to imagine the filthy keyboard is just Moon Pie crumbs. Yes, Moon Pie crumbs.
I need to erase the mental image of her big, hairy husband sanding his calloused feet over the keyboard. *shudder*
#80 Wilma:
Yeah, she’s probably got coke bottle glasses. She can’t see so well, what with her diabeetus and that hairy sasquatch hubby of hers. Up in a trailer back up in th’mountains. I bet hubby has a still.
“Baysterd needs ta stop cuttin’ his nails at tha dang keyboard. We’ll have to go to Wal Mart & get us anuther un.”
No joke. Some of my college professors sounded like this.
#86 blondeweezie-
Yes. Coke bottle glasses(with dated prescription) would explain the shaky needlepoint.
Are missing teeth common in Tennessee? That would be why so many Moon Pie crumbs made it in keyboard…
I whipped up these fugly crotched coasters and will throw in some hairy man-soap along with a fabulous tinker-cat “embroidered” over one of the coasters.
I think I produce do a better Tinkerbell using catgut. And using my dick to do the embroidery. While blindfolded. And being forced to listen to New Kids on the Block. And drunk.
That’s the first thing that I thought of when I saw this! I mean, it’s one thing to make a bad Tinkerbell, it’s another when you make Tinkerbell look like she’s been rolled over by a steamroller.
This is the sort of thing that makes me paranoid… even though I’m fairly certain I can sew worth a damn, sometimes I wonder if people just say they like my things to be nice. Maybe I’m a terrible self judge and I’m actually turning out this sort of crap.
Unless the pillow’s dimensions are 3mm by 3mm, I would think she could have made the likeness less angular. It is nice, however, that the original piece pleased her visually impaired daughter.
Hey, I give this seller props for not using a commercial pattern and an embroidery machine. The downside though, is this looks more like tinkerbelle’s demented stepmother.

And how come I didn’t hear about the horrible accident? Well, at least they were able to attach her legs where her arms used to be.
February 26, 2010 at 9:45 am
I googled “patitude” for good measure & got nothing useful. It kept trying to suggest “aptitude” on me until I showed it the photo.

“Platitude” kind of works.

Hey Tink! I think its time for a little “work” ya know you’re getting up there and there alot of fresh new faieries in town just check etsy!

I actually thought this was a badly coloured version of wilma flintstone.
Or Tink and Brian Peppers fairy love child.
February 26, 2010 at 9:58 am
Is it me or does it look like she’s pulling her legs behind her head?

Two copyright infringements in one, although it is barely recognizable as Tinkerbell.

I just noticed the fringe and threw up a bit in my mouth.

#30 – I agree. Also, good for her on her inventiveness, but it’s sad to see something handmade selling for only $1.
February 26, 2010 at 10:42 am
This resembles an elf from the hobbit animation. It failed at being tinkerbell, but it made me smile anyways. http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/tolkien/h-2-1216-wood-elf-king.jpg
February 26, 2010 at 10:43 am

I really wanted to buy it for my sister. The sister that I don’t like very much.
February 26, 2010 at 10:46 am
When “unique” equals “thank God there aren’t more”
February 26, 2010 at 10:48 am
Looks like Tinkerbell in her menopausal phase.

She needs a burial–not a pillow

February 26, 2010 at 10:59 am
stink, stunk, stankerbell…sold! to the cretin in the corner for $15.
February 26, 2010 at 11:04 am
IT SOLD.
…there are no words.
February 26, 2010 at 11:04 am
I’m glad she said the name because I know I wouldn’t have been able to guess what that little yellow haired critter was (other than roadkill).
And why (why?) would anyone make a pillow out of 10 for $1.99 facecloths from Wal-Mart?
February 26, 2010 at 11:09 am
Tinker Hell no!
Looks like Tinkerbell after a Captin Hook and the Lost Boys gang bang…
February 26, 2010 at 11:14 am
Don’t Tinkerbells and “faeries” in general have hands?
Or shoulders?

I’ll admit, the first time I saw that pillow I wondered when Tinkerbell jumped the shark and moved to Bangkok.
It would also appear that she’s been taking fashion and styling tips from Pamela Anderson.
