Plush Marshmallows

Posted by John Farrier in Art & Design, Crafts on November 27, 2011 at 1:50 pm

Marshmallows have a rough life; their best case scenario is to get eaten. In inexperienced hands, the little white bundles of sugar can meet a fiery end, as Etsy seller Brittany illustrates with her marshmallow plushes.

Pizza Sleeping Bag

Posted by John Farrier in Art & Design, Crafts on November 19, 2011 at 7:51 am

This is why I like thick, soft crusts over thin, crunchy ones. They’re so much more comfortable. Extra cheese is nice for that gooey feeling around my limbs, too. Etsy seller brookish7 made this sleeping bag with all of our favorite toppings for her BFA thesis.

Batman and The Thing on an AT-AT

Posted by John Farrier in Art & Design, Crafts on October 23, 2011 at 4:33 pm

These action figures are dismounting an AT-AT, having ridden it into battle. Conan’s there, too. The Barbarian, not the comedian, although Conan O’Brien would be a good addition to this lamp by Etsy seller Zygmunt Jarzembowski.

Strictly speaking, the three zombies from the East didn’t arrive until much later, but it’s traditional to place them at Bethlehem on Christmas. Etsy sellers Robin and Zered follow in this tradition with this nativity set made from Sculpey clay.

Haunting Images in Half-Silvered Mirrors

Posted by John Farrier in Art & Design, Crafts on October 10, 2011 at 7:01 pm

If you have a guest room, hang one of these mirrors in it. Don’t explain what it is. Deny that there’s a picture of a child and assert that it’s just a mirror. Thanks to the creative work of Etsy seller Sandy Ervin, you’ll have a good prank in the works.

Steampunk Nerf Gun

Etsy seller Faustus70 started out with a Nerf Barricade. He turned it into this beauty with slats from an old wooden chair and aluminum sheeting riveted into place by hand. The scope, like the gun, is completely functional at a magnification of x3.

Adorable Kitty Hats

Posted by Jill Harness in Animals & Pets, Fashion, Living on September 14, 2011 at 4:00 am

Etsy seller ToScarboroughFair makes utterly adorable hats for kittens, but I think the truly amazing thing about her shop isn’t her extensive collection of fashions, but how great her model is. Visit her shop for more delightful images and inspired hats.

Best Quiet Book ever… and Star Wars-obsessed moms and dads will love it too. There’s even a kid-friendly version of Leia’s slave outfit. Unfortunately (or not for those of us who like to craft), it looks like Etsy seller JulieBell isn’t selling a finished version, just a PDF pattern so you can make your own. Check out the entire finished book at Julie’s blog.

Outboard Boat Motor Margarita Mixer

Posted by John Farrier in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods, Living on September 1, 2011 at 7:14 pm

Sadly, the original outboard motor isn’t inside the case. Etsy seller windchimesandmore replaced it with a small 2-cycle engine. Still, it blends vigorously and would make a fine conversation piece at parties.

In his Alternate Histories prints series, Etsy seller Matthew Buchholz imagines small, subtle changes in American history as reflected in iconic prints. Here, for example, is a picture of the massive statue Emperor Krgyyx Threatening the World. Of course, if you live in New York City, you can just look at the real thing, although the visitors’ center is currently closed for renovations. Link -via The Breda Fallacy

Sad Etsy Dogs

Posted by Jill Harness in Advertising, Animals & Pets, Art & Design, Business, Crafts, Living on August 9, 2011 at 2:11 pm

If you’ve read Neatorama long enough, you’ve undoubtedly seen plenty of dogs modeling for Etsy listings. Now there’s a blog chronicling the saddest of these poor puppies and it is hilarious. My only complaint, it doesn’t provide links to the actual Etsy pages. What if I want to make my dog this sad?

Lapdog Bed

I have a papillon dog, and in keeping with the original purpose of his breed, he just loves to crawl up in someone’s lap. When one isn’t available, this might be an acceptable substitute. Etsy seller XanARu, a professional dog photographer, makes beds that look like human laps. This one is called the “Urban Cowgirl” style. Link -via Blame It on the Voices

Wearable Plants

“Why should your plants stay at home?” asks Etsy artist Colleen Jordan. Thanks to her acrylic planter jewelry, they don’t have to. She also makes a brooch that I find a bit more wearable. Whether you get the necklace or the brooch/pin, you’ll have to supply your own plant, though Colleen does give tips on which ones work best.

Tiny Paper Sculptures

Model maker Akinobu Izumi’s ‘A Tiny World In A Bottle’ series is just amazing. He has everything from jellyfish to skeletons to ships. They’re sometimes arranged on dirt and occasionally fixed in liquid parafin to create a floating effect. If you like them, be sure to check out his Etsy store where you can buy your own.
