      Also, please, please someone write to this seller and ask if they know what year this “vintage” piece of rusted shit is from and if they can provide a certificate of authenticity before you consider adding it to your “collection?” I’d do it myself but I have to go to “class” and “pay attention” now.

    . . .though I admit that if it were about $850 less, I’d buy it and use the springs to make the creepy dolls I love to make. Halloween’s a-coming, and those trick-or-treaters don’t scare themselves.

      Way to go Portland. In addition to the terrible wedding suggestion, you also suggest we decorate some rusty mattress springs and hang them above our bed. BRILLIANT. SO META. NOT DANGEROUS AT ALL. Oh, and to top it of, just to make sure we knew these amazing ideas came Portland, they have decorated their website with a bird and the word “Portland” in the upper right corner.

      GAH.

    The artist calls this “Featherbed”, which has an additional twist in German, where (coiled) “spring” and (bird’s) “feather” are the same word, so “spring bed” and “feather bed” (=duvet) would both be “Federbett”. But what’s the appeal of this title to an English speaking audience?
