Sharpie shit on a penny + ten cents worth of glued on jewelz -$41.75
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Good luck & fuck you.
What’s with all the sharpie-embellished art on Etsy?
In my metals class in art skool, using glue in jewelry was considered cheating of the worst kind. I expect those little plastic sparklies to be bezel set for $35.
What ever happened to “find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck”?
Add bedazzles and sharpie chicken scratch, and waaa-laaa, you charge 35 bucks.
What is really odd is there are things in her shop that while really frilly look like they took some time, skill and effort to make. So why the hell are they less than the crap penny?
as the keeper of all useless knowledge, i must point out that it is a federal crime to destroy U.S. currency with fraudulent intent.
i’m calling the cops.
I don’t want anyones name on this and I don’t wanna pick heads or tails to put them on. Causes visuals to occur that are damn frightening esp. thinking of my parents.
@meth, at her rates that’ll cost you an arm & a leg, ‘cuz she’d have to use silver dollars. For the same price you could go to Tiffs and get some shit that at least comes in a nice blue box.
What. No. Just… no. NO. I spend all that money on gemstone and high quality glass beads for my jewelry-making… if one of these, and I mean a single shit encrusted penny, is sold, I will slit my wrists.
I knew from the get go that Regretsyians made good cents.Maybe we’re onto something here….break the law? Bring it on , that never stopped me before if it was for a good cause.
I’m more amazed at the inability to put the decimal point in the right place than the lack of skill involved in the actual product. Because surely it was meant to go to one or two places to the left.
Sorry, but if it is purported to bring luck to the one whose name appears, fuck you all, I’m writing my OWN name with a Sharpie on all my pocket change.
I have a set of sharpies in hot colors like pink orange, turquoise. I can make some of those and send them to myself for free. I will put her ass out of business.
in the words of the incomparable judas priest…
“breakin the law, breakin the law”
it seems our crafter has inspired a currency revolution!
but that’s a bandwagon i’ll jump on fer sure.
if killer’s handin’ out defiled american coinage, i want one too.
If I made this my own mother wouldn’t want it. I know for sure she wouldn’t want one made some crafting on crack fucktard. My nephews came home from preschool and told their mom they had made “arts and craps”, and I think that assessment is dead on with this one.
I’m in awe of the irony involved in marketing this as a gift for mothers and grandmothers, traditional recipients of every crappy craft project school teachers and camp counselors can dream up. (Not that I don’t love every single dried bean mosaic and painted flower pot I’ve ever received…)
When my 3 kids were aged 6 years, 3 years, & 18 months, my in-laws sent them each a from-the-mint set of coins, sealed in a plastic thingy, from their birth years (’89, ’92, ’93). I thought, “What a stupid, age-inappropriate gift for someone’s grandkids.”
Seeing this, I’m so fucking glad my mother-in-law doesn’t know about etsy or trust “the internets” with buying stuff online.
Turns out the idea for “the Lucky Penny three Gemstone special collection” came from her God Box!
“Dear God is it OK to charge $42 for a penny with hot glue on it” signed evalinehorng
“But of course my Child. You so special and deserving of other peoples money. Your fooling other people out of their money makes me laugh!! Give no second thought to the Felony you are committing by defacing Federal currency” -GOD(aka the Holy Roller)
My dog Harry really did crap something like this out once after he got into some trouble. Being a dog of great elegance & refinement when he is not in trouble , I’d wager he has better lettering skills than this .
It’s actually NOT illegal to do odd things to coins as long as you aren’t attempting fraud–i.e. trying to create a different coin, etc., etc. Just squashing it up/bedazzling it/stamping things on it/making it into jewelry/hanging it off your feathered codpiece is just dandy as far as the Fed is concerned. U.S. Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331, just like it says in the listing.
I wonder if this are-teest is the fiance of the Hello Kitty bong guy?
I don’t know why all the sellers on Etsy are concerned about the Nigerian email scammers when there are people scamming them out of $34.99 right on their own site.
Dear Regretsians,
I am deeply and profoundly sorry that this….well…THIS, is a product of my homeland, New York. I know not, nor understand, what she does or why. Nor do I know, what in fact, she’s really keeping in that glue gun. For she surely must be snorting something. You needn’t forgive her (I certainly don’t), but show mercy on my home. We didn’t think it would be necessary for our legal system to make this a criminal offense. Obviously, we were wrong. I’m sorry.
Last week I received one of those pieces of junk mail with a penny glued to the letter to make some sort of point. If I’d known that fucker was worth $35 I’d never have thrown it into my neighbor’s pool.
Beaglemixtape@63~ Thanks for that site.
I have a love token like that from a long gone ancestor, properly inscribed with her name ~ Dolly.
It’s fun to wear when I’m feeling dollish.
I have been lurking Regretsy since one week after April opened its bloggy doors. In all that time, I have commented only once (cuz baby, I like to WATCH).
But this, THIS listing has moved me to put in my two cents (which, incidentally, is worth twice as much as this item):
Um. Add this pendant to the sack of pennies you will use to beat some cents into this seller.
Aww, bad old HK — you hurted her feelings! Remember, kids — if you offer anything more critical than cupcakes and back-pats, you’re a meanie-pants hater with no life and no skills of your own.
Apparently, the “aww, don’t feel bad” posters in the thread didn’t get to actually see a picture of the penny pendant! Sorry, but gluing rhinestones on a penny and writing in Magic Marker don’t cut it as jewelry……..she would have been better off just gluing on a bail and hanging it on a chain!
24 hours later, she’s still going strong. Still answering every comment, still saying “I guess I’m over it now…” Isn’t that nice for her. She’ll never have this kind of audience again.
It’s a penny with magic marker writing on it. It looks like a very, very small child made it. We don’t have to pretend it’s cute or good. I see no value in telling someone they’re good at something when that’s untrue.
Oh, wait. I’m just jealous. No way I could have done something like that.
It’s breathtaking, isn’t it, Bronc? The whole acting like what she made required a huge amount of skill or design or effort or anything, and that it is A MASTERPIECE and how dare anyone subject her to criticism. . .all while flinging insults at people they find ‘mean’. I’d love to see those fuckers endure art school. That’s a truly vicious crowd.

Ooo! Those make the best pieces of junk mail to put in the envelope and mail back to the company who sent it to you; they have to pay the shipping both ways on their silly gimmick. (Yes, I have done this, when I was bombarded by a particularly large ampount of junk mail one month, and it felt GOOD.)
June 17, 2010 at 1:32 pm
I would pay her the fucking 35.00 to just stop and set down the plastic rhinestones, glue gun, and magic marker.

Worth exactly a penny–but only if the rhinestones are scraped off.
June 17, 2010 at 1:52 pm
$35 for a defaced penny? What the fuck kind of non-cents is that?
June 17, 2010 at 1:54 pm
She cound’t even cut the hot-glue strings off before listing it???
And is that a needle threader I spy holding the penny to the chain?

Good for you Killer……putting in your 4 cents worth.
June 17, 2010 at 1:59 pm
The seller says the names are inscribed. Since when is writing something with a sharpie inscribing?
From her bio:
The innovative designs…. are inspired by the whimsical world of fairy tales.
Ok- that explains it.

Hamoza- you are asking her to participate in illegal, criminal activities. So, if you will Killer I want one too.

It’s great how the gemstones are stuck on using snot from each kid. It’s this little attentions to detail that make hand-made truely priceless.

I love how the glue is all messy and dripping down the side of the penny. Does that cost extra?
