I was going to write something clever and witty, but after reading this seller’s profile I became so profoundly depressed that I decided it would be a better use of my time to write letters to Congresspeople lamenting the state of American schools.

how ’bout a little regretsy math. tim burton’s nightmare before christmas came out in ‘93 – that was 16+ years ago. and little billy boyd was already 8 or 9….making him 24 at least right this very minute.
and i’m supposed to believe that little billy boyd spends his free time twisting up pipecleaners for art?
or is this some marketing schtick thinking that i’ll get suckered into the little kid story?

So, wait: we get “symbolize,” “representations,” and even, wonder of wonders, the correctly apostrophized (which is to say, not apostrophized at all) “its counterparts,” but then there’s “beutifle?”

“BEUTIFLE?”

I almost have to call “intentional misspelling” on this one. I cannot conceive of someone who gets those things correct but fails utterly on something as common as “beautiful.”

And pipe cleaner animals for 26 bucks? Really? REALLY?

Are hampers really such a popular place to display things? Haven’t we seen this before? Why? I can’t imagine the thought process that occurs before someone chooses to sell something off of his or her laundry hamper.

Also, pipe-cleaners. At least put some googly eyes on that.

It’s weird how all these illiterates who make “art” try to describe their art as if they had taken art classes or had their stuff in a gallery. As if there was a deep “concept” behind the work. They never just say, “Hey, I twisted some pipe cleaners into cat shapes. I was bored! Aren’t they fun?”

The seller isnt even clear on what is being sold.
I see four pipecleaner cats here.
Is the 26$ for all four of them? Or is it just for one? Do I get to choose which one or is it random?

Id be pretty pissed if I thought I was buying four cats and then got the package and I only got one of them.

#49 – I agree. That is one of the problems with Etsy offerings. The condescending discussion about the artist’s inspiration that implies that deep thought was “required” to produce the crap.

The “up selling” of pipe cleaners to justify the $26 price tag is hard to swallow. I could produce a pipe cleaner cat with my eyes closed in about 30 seconds and then use proper punctuation and spelling to talk about it.
