My Friends are Electric

Just like Gary Numan!

Not gonna lie, I love getting mail. Lookee what I got from awesome possum Cedar Fern Jen. I'm a big fan of silver and copper so I am so stoked to get these gems from her newly opened Etsy Shop, Joies.

Her silverwork is so dainty and detailed I am amazed how she get the wires to twist and not scratch the skin. Dude, if I could figure out how to zoom in on the clasps on the back of the

necklace, I can show you more of the detailed work she puts into her pieces. There are more matching beads and swirly prettiness that happens on the back of my neck.

I'm so excited that Jen's shop is ALIIIIIIIIIIVE and she is sharing her beautiful creations. Check out her shop for more of her simple and sweet work.

Odd

I'm torn on bootleggin'. On one hand I want to respect musicians on their rights to "own" their music but on the other, I can't be there at ALL their concerts (and there's no such thing as too much Led Zep).

But since when is bootlegs selling on Etsy as vintage?

Kinda weird.

Jes' sayin'.

Nope, not getting it. =)

Respect.

trixie delicious

(JERK is my fav and you'd get it for me, if you were my friend)

yes, my taste is a combination of extremes, whimsical/vulgar. imagine my glee when i came across this etsy seller trixie delicious. i love the combination of sweet cool antique finds juxtaposed with cool typography of not so innocent words. i know she's in new zealand but she needs to get our of my head. it sure makes me want to vandalize all the antique stuff i’ve been stashing. here are some of my favs from her store.

i’ve been wanting to try glass etching on mason jars and i can see this being a hit.

lemon curds = tart
gin soak raisons = sloshed
blackberry preserves = seedy

now if only i can get inspired for a cool design to combine ass & hat. i'd wear the shit out of that, zing!
