mother wall necklace. $225.00
part of a series of mixed media wall art/ wall jewelry
you decide –because i’m done worrying about it
is it jewelry?
is it sculpture?
will it float?
hand knit pink angora wool, porcelain & silk, sewn and assembled
What is it?! Even the seller doesn’t know. Really gives the impression that they don’t even care about their own nondescript item.
It was also on the front page on Tuesday. Figures!

I’m going to start throwing things together and not know what to call it or what it is and charge big money for it………..will that make me an artist then?

I think you just described a lot of “artists” on Etsy.

It did make it to the FP? You’ve got to be kidding………..maybe I’m just too old for Etsy…….. : (

I saw it on the FP…and my first thought was: this is WTF material. I was not wrong.

That was on the FP? Well, hell, I’m gonna go make me some dangly crap too.

*This* was on the front page? *This* is ‘art’? WTF??
The colours don’t harmonise, the composition is, well, it just isn’t, and those pink things at the bottom look suspiciously phallic to me.
Most of the time I think Artists Statements are a load of crap, but if you’re going to call that art and charge that much for it, at least come up with a decent description for it.

I wouldn’t have looked at it twice if someone hadn’t sent it in, I just wish they sounded as if they cared a bit more about their own work. It sounds as if they’ve washed their hands of it already.

Horrified AGAIN at the shit that manages to get featured on Etsy’s front page. Is this supposed to be one big joke on the few real artisans left? At least, I get the idea that there is more crap than good when stuff like this gets featured. FOR SHAME, AND WHAT THE FUCK????

Ok, I’ll decide, since you can’t.
Trash can.

“Hideous” comes somewhat close to describing this thing and “dumber than dog shit” pretty much describes whoever put it on Ety’s FP.
