Ooo, smug time! We saved $298 at the !*fRee*! part of the second hand store last Saturday! And our rack is bigger, has an ‘aged patina of weathering’ and is (now) being upcycled in the yard! [ we had a clone of the "necklace" too, but the wood stove asked for it]
The blanket typifies what bothers me about Etsy. Sure, it’s all hand-sewn. Clearly not by the seller, but what the hell does that matter? LISTING FEES!
This one was interesting, as there was a seller in the Etsy forums this morning complaining about her lack of sales – and she sells the exact same thing.
Sometimes. But my point is that people think they’re going to be able to replace the day job they were laid off from with crafts made from the same pre-made components that there are literally 15,000 other sellers using.
All Aboard the Failboat!

I’ve been wondering this: Is it normal (no, not Etsy normal, real world normal) to sell small photo prints for $10 or $15 or more a pop? Or am I just cheap?
Depends on the photo. I actually sell some photos for $15-$50 depending, but they’re framed, etc… Not that I make a living on them, I barely break even on materials, not counting photo equipment.
I genuinely thought that it was studded with old chewing gum until I read the description. Both because that’s exactly what it looks like and because, thanks to Regretsy, I know how likely it is that someone would do that.
It looks like Cthulu or a Kraken puked up some ship wreckage on her. My mother is a maritimer with sometimes questionable taste, and even she would not wear or buy this.
I didn’t even make it to the Tinkerbell Baby, I got sidetracked by ‘All That Glisters Is Not Gold’ in the first pic. If it’s glistering, ladies and gents, it’s probably not gold, but it might be herpes!
The creative thinking behind the necklace was as follows:
-Purple haired hipster gets drunk
-Purple haired hipster takes header into fence
-Purple haired hipster wakes up and is mortified
-Purple haired hipster internally justifies falling through fence by deciding that the Muses called to her in the night and demanded that she commit herself physically to her art
-Purple haired hipster needs $300 for cooking with kale classes
Voila!
My thoughts were similar only involved getting trapped under a pile of deckchairs rather than a fence. I love that even she doesn’t know what it is; body armour, couture wall ensemble art, a necklace, all or none of the above.
Also, it has ivory in it? Urgh, like it was hideous enough without knowing it has bits of dead elephant in it. Even if it’s old ivory it’s still a horrible thing to include.
You have a great sense of humor. Have you tried stand up? It’s all of the above, as I designed and constructed it from completely upcycled materials. Ivory is beautiful and the flower was given to me after my grandmother passed away. She taught me how to sew and craft when I was 4. Which I’m sure is why I’m a couturier, designer & technical artist for a private women’s clothing label here in Los Angeles. I’m glad this is such a conversation piece! It’s actually been in several art shows and will be in two next week; one in Downtown LA & the other in Hollywood. Check out the Hive Gallery for August 8th & SKR Studios August 11th if you’re in town, where you can see if up close and understand that there are better things to do than hate on people who create things from scratch which is a dying art.
“understand that there are better things to do than hate on people who create things from scratch which is a dying art.”
No, there are still plenty of people who make things from scratch. Etsy is full of them. What’s dying off are people who are any good at it, as evidenced by your $300 pile of busted shit glued to other shit. But keep sniffing your own farts.
I’m not hating on you, I just think this piece is funny, it looks like the legs from deckchairs to me. If you make art then expect differing opinions on it and critics. I also make things from scratch and I don’t expect everyone to love my stuff and would probably be kind of insulted and wonder what I was doing wrong if they did.
I wasn’t trying to offend you, sorry if you took it that way, if I wanted to be rude I’d have sent a personal message or given you the link to here (who did that? come on, own up you mean thing). Honestly, getting butthurt over it will just garner more negative attention from trolls. I’m guessing one of them pointed you to this post to see if you’d get upset, which is not cool.
And I just don’t like ivory, it’s a personal thing, all I can think of is what happened to the elephant, it is beautiful to look at but it will always be an ugly, ugly thing to me.
Just because you made it doesn’t mean we aren’t going to critique it. Sorry, but Regretsy ain’t no kindergarten teacher. I have made some very bad art in my day, including some hilariously unwearable clothing. I threw it out, put on my big girl pants, laughed, and learned to improve my knitting techniques. It’s better to make good art than accept your work without questioning and improving it constantly. In fact, that’s what art is about.
So: real criticism. The idea of the piece is solid, actually. I like what you were going for, just not the implementation. The wood is not comfortably shaped and the sticking out bits detract from its natural shaping, as well as looking odd rather than daring. The way it would be worn looks uncomfortable and difficult to stay on. I understand couture, but sorry, this piece is just not well-engineered.
I’m no hipster, rather the person who’s inspired the hipsters to dig up the late 70′s and early 80′s around 7 or 8 years ago in SF as I grew up into Punk/Industrial. The creative thinking behind this project was based off of my BMI (Body Mass Index), where I made short film out of the entire process of making the necklace. Fortunately, I wasn’t drunk with the three weeks I spent making cuts, sanding, drilling, milling, etc. The quartz was a huge piece that I found in Santa Barbara, then broke up with a sledge hammer. The ivory flower was given to me after my grandmother died who taught me how to sew when I was 4. Hence is why I’m a designer and technical artist for a private women’s clothing label, and have two art shows in LA where I will be hosting my art in next month. I work incredibly hard to stay true to my art and break the mode. I am the muse, the inspiration. Get off the internet & come out Aug 8th Hive Gallery!
“I’m no hipster, rather the person who’s inspired the hipsters to dig up the late 70′s and early 80′s around 7 or 8 years ago in SF as I grew up into Punk/Industrial.” Translation: “I was hipster before it was cool”
Well, to be fair, “vintage” originally referred simply to the year the grapes for a particular wine were harvested. You can have a “vintage 2010″ bottle of wine.
Couture is custom hand-made pieces, typically garments, usually made for a high-end clientele, yet not specific to only garments. I make beautiful custom dresses & wearable art (usually for fashion shows) that you can sarong on your wall!
I made it to fit around your neck as a project to see what I could do with those specific materials based off of my body mass index. It took me weeks of making the cuts, drilling, milling, sanding. It’s gorgeous in person and I know the photographs don’t do it justice, but it will be at two more art shows next week if you’re in Los Angeles. One Aug 8th at the Hive Gallery in Downtown LA and the other Aug 11th at SKR Studios in Hollywood with some other non-traditional materials that I’m using. But I’m sure you’ll see the final outcome on my Etsy when you find time to gawk at art made by a humble, chill girl such as myself who prides herself in being involved in all design aspects from concept to finished product.
You know humility and pride are like opposites right? You can’t REALLY be humble and proud at the same time. Well, you probably can but it doesn’t make sense.
I’m disturbed by the lack of clothing on the model in the Etsy post. She could have faced the camera and given a full frontal shot with some strategically placed gear cogs, moustaches, and maybe a crotch-grabbing octopus. Oh yeah, and the goggles.
The birdcages! It’s the SAME PICTURE! Damnit you made type in caps! I off now to sew til my fingers bleed and crmp up to make honest to goodness handmade items. Which will then be buried on page 40 of a search engine after all this crap.
The last time I squared off against my folding drying rack I took it down, but I spared its dignity by just walking away instead of taking a battle trophy.
I honestly can’t even decide which is the most shameless of these. I mean all the “digital collage” selling on etsy is obvious jacking of other people’s/out of copyright stuff, so I feel a bit numb to it.
The bird cages are basic reseller and the quilt is at least handmade by *someone*. I think it has to be the goggles. UNIQUE!!
Sorry but the math on the tag one is bothering me. The Etsy reseller is selling 100 for $15 and the wholesaler sells 1000 for 34.32 so shouldn’t you be saving $115.68?
Assuming you have to buy 1000 is the other way of looking at it but who went to all the trouble of looking at a bunch of stupid shit online and making a website that contains highlights and includes a forum for us to shoot off our mouths?
I love when they don’t even bother to take a new photo of the item, they just upload one directly from whatever site they’re reselling the shit from. Nothing says profit like being fraudulent AND lazy!
Its the goggles that got me. Because the seller goes to such great lengths to say they are speshul and unique in the listing… I just don’t know how these people live with themselves…
“LENSES:
The lenses are perfect and both eyepieces look like new.
STRAP:
The black and blue elastic adjustable head strap feels like brand new – I doubt this pair of goggles was ever worn. This is an outrageous pair of goggles – the icing on the cake for any Steampunk wardrobe or a perfect biker accessory!”
Like new?? THEY ARE NEW!!! The icing on the cake? Yeah, if the CAKE IS MADE OF STUPID!

I need these goggles to keep my eyes from popping out at all the *Whotsefuck!* offered…
If the “like new lenses” don’t stand it, I could still paint with my eyeballs. Or has it been done before?
THANK YOU!!! meanface gogglehead is GONE!!!!!! I make shit out of old shit in my shop too and she wrote me a snarky condescending letters threat this year and it’s making my day that she’s gone. I’m a proud fucking FJL today.
thank you April for your great power.
July 31, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Thank you for that last one. The laughter completely deflated the futile rage that built up during the previous listings.
July 31, 2012 at 2:11 pm
I need to go buy some of those racks. They work well for hats and the accordion action amuses me.

THANK YOU!!! meanface gogglehead is GONE!!!!!! I make shit out of old shit in my shop too and she wrote me a snarky condescending letters threat this year and it’s making my day that she’s gone. I’m a proud fucking FJL today.
thank you April for your great power.

Hey, that wooden cup rack looks really convenient! Thanks, Regretsy!

Just wanted to point out that the cup rack thing is now going for $350. Somehow I’m not surprised.
