Not poop, owl ‘pellets’ -they’re regurgitated. These are so much like owl pellets that I had to comment. Takes me back to my childhood on the farm…. ahhhh smelly…
When I taught elem. school, our kids had to dissect an owl pellet to see what he ate. Usually it was a field mouse. These look exactly like those. What a treat.
Oh shit , not again?!
Great, thanks , falafel is my favorite food. Was.
I don’t eat it for the beautythough.
Someone made these for their visual appeal? Since when did turd art get so poopular? Crap, I’m soo out of the loop.
OMG–we had this kit called “Owl Puke,” and it was owl pellets that you dissolved and picked apart, looking for mouse bones (science geek Christmas gift). It looked JUST LIKE THAT.
When making this doo doo , straddling the OBVIOUS line between poo & something else, err on the side of clarity & make a different color dammit. Or just go straddle a toilet.
Okay, now, I’m a needle felter. I like to think that I make things that are pretty, fun “whimsicle” and hopefully collectible. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a purpose for this. I know that some people like to take balls of yarn or material and put in a bowl, etc. But, gosh, you just don’t make something with brown wool that resembles a fricking ball of dukey!!!
#49 I’d like to see steam-punk, but I’m not sure how much steam would be left if they’re vintage. It’d be a perfect accessory for a post-SHTF (literally) outfit.
@pplrdum: it’s a common science lesson in grade school – you get to dissect an owl pellet and figure out what owls eat by looking at the bones you find. Do kids still do that these days, or are we dating ourselves?
I dissected owl pellets in girl guides, but they’re no poop, the owl cough them up like hair balls. The fluff in the fur and feathers of the animals that got eaten.
*takes off ‘be prepared’ hat*
I could make some of these by accident with all the wool scraps in my house. Just boil them and ring them out. Of course they would hardly be as durable, they also wouldn’t be brown.
It seems to be an Etsy tradition of some kind to be obsessed with vaginas, the bowel movements of fairies, and various things that resemble the excrement of various animals.

Owl Pellets! This guy used to come out to my place and scorge around the barn for those. I’d never heard of them. We disected frogs back in my day. That was disgusting.
Very rarely, viewing a certain texture will invoke a visceral reaction, stimulating my gag reflex. It is like the signal bypasses my brain – my _body_ is grossed out.
I had that reaction the moment I saw the pic of these.
Then I felt itchy once the signal got to my brain.
In grade school and middle school, our biology classes always had us dissect ‘owl pellets’ which consisted of mice bones and other small animal bones…do you think I could dig any out of that? That’s the only fun I could get out of those dingers.
I accidentally read the last line as “Each pebble is edible.” Kinda freaked me out for a second, especially since the pebbles look like they were eaten a little while ago…
‘You will receive 6 chocolate brown felted wool pebbles decorated with yarn’
This seller needs a PR person:
“You will receive 6 magical unicorn eggs that are covered in majestic, fantastical fairy feces. They’re soooo magical!! They’ll bring you good luck and money and love…and possibly some diseases!”
This is what my black cat hurks up on the floor at 3:00am. The white and beige cats hurk up Jesus Nativity figurines (sorry, I don’t have the link to that one but HK wrote a lovely carole to go with it).
March 26, 2010 at 11:59 am
Just yesterday some of these came out of my cat’s esophagus. I’ll go $3.00 on those.
March 26, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I guess i did eat the corn!
March 26, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Waaaay too much oatmeal.
March 26, 2010 at 12:00 pm
What have the owls in this person’s neighborhood been eating lately?
March 26, 2010 at 12:01 pm
aaaand the point of these would be…?
March 26, 2010 at 12:01 pm
What a great deal! That’s less than $1 per turd!
March 26, 2010 at 12:02 pm
I told him that the Indian corn was just for decoration, not for eating, but clearly he didn’t listen.
March 26, 2010 at 12:04 pm
You could string them and make a bracelet or earrings to match the snake/turd necklace. I can’t imagine what other uses they might have.
March 26, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I think I dissected some of these back in high school biology. Owl poop, right?

March 26, 2010 at 12:10 pm
How long before someone posts actual human excrement on Etsy? Because I feel that we are getting very close.
March 26, 2010 at 12:10 pm
you could glue some googly eyes on these, then they would resemble mr. hanky?
March 26, 2010 at 12:11 pm

At least they’re soft to the touch. Isn’t that special. Not that I’d ever touch that shit.
March 26, 2010 at 12:16 pm
the perfect combination of turd, mouse and yarn I can just picture these in my cats box or left by the neighbors dog in the yard.
March 26, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Jeebus Cripes, who the hell would buy something that looks like dried turds? What kind of person THINKS of stuff like this?

I can’t imagine who would buy whatever I would make from this. But hey- it received 6 hearts!!!
Hey Raz- maybe a Mr. Hanky pin?? LOL
March 26, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Classy, Skully, very classy, indeed.
March 26, 2010 at 12:33 pm
The artists profile says:
“I am not a very good at speechmaking, so I would like that my art works would speak instead of me”.
She should take up speechmaking.
March 26, 2010 at 12:33 pm
This is so you can make a necklace to go with the owl hat, right?
If I owned a stuffed owl, I would get one and place it nearby the owl, for a more realistic tableaux.
March 26, 2010 at 12:41 pm
One of my favorite things in the world is chocolate. My Australian friend sends me parcels and always includes a few bricks of Cadbury.
But if these sellers don’t stop using the descriptive “chocolate” on their poop creations, Patty is gonna have to go all medieval on their asses.
That’s right, she’s so outraged, she’s talking about herself in the third person.
March 26, 2010 at 12:41 pm

#45 , she could have saved herself the trouble & just said colonoscopy in Lithuanian.
March 26, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I’m convinced this must be the crafting euphemism for ‘felted poo’. There is no way they don’t see it.
Someone should drop the pretense and open a shop that specializes in making felted poo in the shapes of various different animals’ droppings.
March 26, 2010 at 1:17 pm
#18 @christy-as long as it’s vintage.
