Some Days You Just Need To Get Some Head.



I thought this shop was an appropriate feature today, as the organisms that are currently taking over my body, making me feel well...less than glamorous, I can relate to these artworks in a way mimicking that of a small child who sees that creepy sunshine with the baby face on the controversial show teletubbies. If you still don't get it, I feel like a grotesque floating head with goo alright.

Don't get me wrong yes these heads are gross, but I love them, I have a strange draw towards nasty things, i mean just look at my dog.


I honestly think that many ugly things are cute, which in this cacaophobic society is not as rare as one may think, and if I had found this etsy team in high school I probably would not have felt quite so much like a square peg in a round hole.



About this shop owner:

"Hello. I've been making ceramic heads for a little over twelve years. I plan to continue to make them for quite some time, which means I need folks to buy them because they are overtaking my house.

I recognize George Ohr, Roger Verdugo, Larry David, Paul Gauguin, Jim Jones, Steve Kerr, Maurice Grossman, Robert Arneson, PK Hoffman, Frank Boyden, and numerous unnamed folk artists as my main influences up to this point.

My shop name is named 3sevens to pay homage to the mystery that is 777. I've been seeing that number on random license plates for over fifteen years. Like the Double Rainbow Guy, I wonder what it means. I doubt I ever will find out."

I need more power!!



Todays feature was supposed to be yesterday but sadly due to the gestation of some very angry mico-organisms my body has been keeping me from te things i actually want to be doing. So in light of that I will make up for this injustice by promoting 2 shops run by the same talented woman! They make me giggle, they make me nostalgic, and they must be shown to the world!!!!

Todays features.....

WildeMoon and POWERUPS!

Beth's Bio:"I have been interested in crafting and jewelry since I was a little girl. I am now a grown up graphic designer, but I find it no less enjoyable to sit down and make something with my own two hands. Being able to share the things I make, the pictures I draw, and the photos I take with others is one of the things I love most about the internet and especially about Etsy."
She also shares a shop with her hubby Wes which is called PowerUps and this is what they have to say for themselves:
"We are a pair of geeky crafters living in Texas. We enjoy creating and making fun stuff together, and we enjoy sharing said stuff with everyone. Wes is a database administrator by trade, and Beth is a graphic designer, so together we make the ultimate team of nerds."






Her barbie murders(some pictured above) have their very own Storque article: why? because they rock, and what girl honestly hasn't played murder with Barbie? I know it wasn't just me....

Love is in the air !




Happy Valentine's day everyone! What a perfect feature I have for you today, because what says Love like weddings? And what better than a stylish offbeat one at that!

Today I bring you VespertineHollow also known as Eluria Obscura

She started selling goth, victorian and steampunk mini top hats in May of 2009 and noticed that a lot of ladies purchased them to wear on their wedding day, so gradually she has shifted her focus to bridal wear for offbeat brides.

Here is how she explains her process:
"I created Vespertine Hollow in May 2009 in Portland, OR. After losing a job that I honestly hated, I decided to forge my own path using only the talents that I was born with and my love for creating beauty for others to enjoy and appreciate. Before that fateful day, creating was something that I could only do in my spare time, when I had a brief respite from the demands of working over 40 hours a week. Make no mistake, I still have a full schedule, between running my own business and full time college career, but now I can honestly say that I go to bed every night feeling fulfilled and happy to be using my hands to create the beauty that I see in my dreams. Each of my creations are one of a kind and will never be duplicated, and I am very happy to modify any of my pieces or even take custom orders and suggestions from prospective clients. I stand behind all of my designs with a money back guarantee, as I am confident in my work and always look for ways to combine quality with affordability."


As well as a deal message from Eluria:
I am offering a sale right now for people that want to purchase things to wear to the Vampire's Masquerade Ball (vampireballpdx.com/) here in Portland, OR, the coupon code is VMB11, and it's good for 15% off until the VMB at the end of March.
