Craft Gone Bad: Boob Scarves, Cat Ties & The Wrong Side of Cozy

• Why did you send it to her if you knew she would be hurt?

• some these are funny and some disturbing that someone's mind can think these things up.

• Lol. I needed this tonight, thanks for the laugh! I had to share this on Twitter.

• This is amazing! People are losing jobs left and right, can't put food on the table, losing their homes... and the Clintons have the NERVE to waste 5 million dollars on a one day event. Don't give me "stimulating the economy" crap or giving people jobs... Obama's plan didn't stimulate the economy and this won't either. They should be ashamed that for the money they are spending on a wedding,

• I am requesting permission to use the image of the boob scarves from your website in a book that I am writing entitled Peace Fibres: Stitching a Soulful World. In it, I enlist fibre work as metaphor and manifestation of harmonious relationship to self, others, and the larger world. I would use this photograph in a chapter on surviving crises as it would add a bit of humor as well as the therapy of stitching scarves. Peace Fibres will be self published through Integral Press. I anticipate printing in early 2011, with an initial run of 1200. May I use this image? Please advise of any fees involved. I would, of course, cite your website and the artist as source. Thanks for considering my request. I look forward to your response.

• I will be very curious to see the numbers on people who bought an iPad and also own an iPhone or iPod Touch versus those that don't.

• Being one of it's major selling points, the size of the iPad has been reported to have over heating issues when exposed to direct sunlight.

• It rules as a go to device when you need to get access to something right this second.

• This will give designers a good idea of what can be improved on and you won't be wasting your money on a prototype model.

• Welcome to Hong Kong, the Pearl of Orient where East meets West! If you like Lantau Island and are not in a rush in going to places as I understand from your other posts that you�ve been to the City many times, stay in the Silvermine Bay Hotel located in Silvermine Bay of Lantau. It has the cheapest rate in town, around US$50 per night, however there�s no road that connects to Silvermine Bay from the Airport. You�ve to take the shuttle bus or MTR to Central then catch a ferry from the Central Pier right outside IFC Building. The ferry trip takes about 20 minutes, a very nice ride if you like the sea and not in a rush.

• This post made me laugh so hard--a fallopian pillow, what?? Very amusing collection, the Sylvia Plath oven mitts made me giggle and feel bad at the same time. Love it!

• I'm the opposite of a crafter, but I fully appreciated--and loved--many of the whimsical object d'art portrayed on this fun blog. There are several I would love to own if I had the ovaries to wear them--such as the wonderfully wacky boob scarf which is more than a little amusing. Thanks for giving me smiles. Such talent and creativity.

• I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you�re saying here and the way you�ve presented it is awesome.

• Im so happy, I am so looking forward to the day, I hope we get good weather

• I'm not a habitual commentor just could'nt neglect anything so deserving. Loved your work.

• NOW THIS IS BAD CRAFTING! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chokesy/327640249695?ref=ts

• There is a big difference between things that are just in bad taste but well made to some of the real tat that is bandied about on Etsy and Folky that really are awful!

• And Unfair!!

• To Gendy Alimurung I think it's completely unfair of you to include Bonzie's work in this (Bolero), especially with such a horrible caption. She is an amazingly talented and kind person. She has built a successful business and rightfully so. I think some of the things you included are appropriate to your intentions but your personal style (or lack of) and taste is not a reason to include the work of such an artist. You should retract it and send her an apology. I should tell you that I sent it to her and she was quite offended and hurt. I guess you're not creative (obviously not talented) in the slightest because if you were, you'd understand protocol and maintain some form of decorum, especially towards other artists. Even though something that someone else has created doesn't specifically fit our own personal style, doesn't mean that it's not suitable for someone else. We artist/crafters understand this. You show a lot of tacky and ill conceived items, not to mention some that are down right hilarious but what YOU did to Bonzie tops them all! You should have included a pic of yourself and the captions being, Tacky, Desperate Girl (or woman) Does Something Stupid and Unwarranted!

• We had several difficulties observing your website. The characters inside the title tend not to load properly.

• Hello, This blog is really fascinating and pleasant to understand. I'm a big fan from the subjects discussed. I also enjoy reading through the remarks, but notice that alot of persons should remain on topic to attempt and add value towards the unique website article. I would also encourage all people to bookmark this page to your favorite support to help spread the expression.

• Hello, super post, I truly enjoyed reading it. the blog gave me the kick to try my own post, please see my post by clicking my name at the top of this article, Many thanks

• Review: I've been a Zune User for a very long time, and then I decided to buy an iPod touch. I couldn't have been more happy, and after I used it I realized how far Zune is behind the curve. The touch screen is very responsive, not to mention a joy to play with. There is a multitude of free software, and even the 8gb has enough space to store my music collection, a few videos, and 890 pictures, and the apps. My favorite freeware so far has to be Tap Tap game, which is like a combination of DDR and Guitar Hero. The screen is very nice, and doesn't scratch easily. So far, I've found no complaints with the product except one feature that I'd like added: Shake it to shuffle, like the new iPod nano. The device has the capability to do this, but it hasn't been added for some strange reason. Everything else was great. The only hesitation I had of getting this was the fact that many people were complaining about how they wouldn't get theirs til november, and that Amazon's shipping was slow and their "in stock" label was misleading. The shipping estimation said that it would come in 8-9 days, with standard shipping, which is slow for amazon, but is alright. It came in 8 days. DON'T LET THE SHIPPING SHENANIGANS KEEP YOU FROM ORDERING THIS!! 5/5 i LOVE IT

• I got my mom's boob scarf from http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32146069 The latex nipple was molded from an actual one...Really funny and she gets many compliments.

• haha nice work! ! im interested in the boob scarf, is it expensive?

• The "reborns" doll is terrifying. But the lobster one is cute, but I won't have the heart to use it on my babies.

• Hi Susie. Alas, the boob scarf has sold. This is the seller: http://www.etsy.com/shop/kseNYA Perhaps you might contact them for a custom order? Alternatively, if you go to Etsy.com and type in "boob scarf" a few other similar items come up. Good luck in your search for the perfect breast-scarf! -Gendy

• I am seriously interested in the boob scarf. How much? How do I get 1 or 2 or 3?

• That boob scarf is awful! But I know a couple of people who would love it.

• Thank you for a hearty laugh...makes the Snuggie look positively normal! :)

• Cozy for a raisin...hahaha!

• The little snail on the finger is kind of cute - is that a cozy for a raisin - LOL! This post was a wonderful humor break for me while slogging through designing ads today, thanks!

• The apple sweater isn't as outlandish as you'd think at first glance. It is sort of like those foam mesh things on delicate fruit in the store, like cherimoyas and asian pears. If you're packing a lunch that's going to be kicked around a bit before you eat it, an apple sweater makes sense to keep the fruit from being bruised. I wouldn't buy yarn to make one, but I could see making an apple sweater out of yarn leftover from another project, to use as reusable lunchbox packaging.
