Keyword "SUNFISH"

119 results- almost exclusively for a particular type of ceramic fish wall hanging

BUT

Then there was this:
Sadie, A Classy Ocean Sunfish or Mola Mola



Description
Meet Sadie, a very pleasant and gentle sunfish. She is very sophisticated looking in heather gray, accented by pink eye rings. She was designed and crocheted with love by me. She measures about 5 inches across, from her nose to her tail. Her interests include art nouveau, shih-tzus, playing piano, and sunbathing while floating on her side through the open ocean. Sadie would make a cute little gift for anyone who loves molas or unusual ocean life. She is made of acrylic yarn and is surface washable. She will come to you wearing a signed hang tag to show that she is a KeepMe Company creation. Thanks for checking out Sadie!

Remember: the fish is BOTH classy AND sophisticated.

Keyword "POVERTY"

I was surprised there were only 23 results for this keyword.

I was even more surprised at the amusingly ironic item in the search:



Description
Black/White Vans, "A.N." logo, "Poverty Sucks"

Hmmmmm. For a mere $125 YOU TOO can complain how much "poverty sucks"...

Keyword "CHAMPION"

The keyword champion generated 131 results.

LOTS of awesome weirdness for this keyword... there were pancake earrings, small felted portraits, even a "Champion Neon Pink Bonbon Bunny".

But, being from Gainesville, FL, I was compelled to choose the following:

Keyword "PIRANHA"

38 results for piranha... almost all of them fish related (no surprise).

The hands down winner has to be this:



Description
Meet Preston...he's a ferocious looking piranha (but he's really a nice guy). Even so, we do classify him as the 'rebel' of the puppet friend family here. Preston is definately one to 'swim against the flow'. I've been having to keep a keen eye on him lately as I know he's just dying to sneek out and get a shark tatoo. Dispite this, he's a very funny friend to have around. Preston is looking for his forever home.

Yes- that is a SOCK PUPPET piranha. Words almost failed me when I came across it. From the half stoned look in it's eyes so the mere fact that a piranha was made into a sock puppet, I was just at a loss.

Keyword "TREADMILL"

Five results for "treadmill". There were three interesting art pieces, so I picked my favorite:



Skeleton Crew
Description
Postcard print of a collage made of paper, glue, and masking tape. Glossy finish.
4 x 5 3/4"

There's just something about it that appeals to me- perhaps the vivid colors, perhaps the generally abstract nature of it all.

Keyword "SHOWMAN"

Only four results- three were the same item and the fourth was a typo.

So I present: the TYPO:



Fun Showman Ornament (SM39)
Description
This cute fused glass snowman is looking for a new holiday home. He measures approximately 2 inches by 3 inches and has a wire fused into the glass for strength. Makes a great gift.

It is actually a pretty cute item...

Keyword "STATIC"

110 results for static- much of which is "static clings".

Nestled within the search was this item:



Trapeze - Circus Static or Swinging Trapeze
Description
Trapeze - Professionally made for professional and recreational trapeze artists. This luxurious trapeze has cruelty-free red 'suede' fabric stitched over the rope splices where it's attached to the bar. 12 ft. synthetic ropes rated to hold over 3,000 lbs. each, thimbled rope ends, red sports taped bar, and 4 in. bar extensions with flashy mirrored red tape. White stitching matches the white ropes, and the 1 in. diameter solid bar measures 23 inches between the ropes, and 34 inches end to end. If rigged correctly, it can also be used for swinging trapeze.

WOW. Because when I look for a piece of equipment for the circus, my first place to look is always an online handmade crafts website.

Keyword "MILEAGE"

Only six results for this search but the two jewelry pieces were interesting. One clearly defeated the other, mostly due to ingenuity.



Description
The mileage chart section of an outdated Motor Carrier's Road Atlas has given life to a fantastic bangle bracelet! The inside of the bracelet measures 7-1/2" and is flexible to allow for your hand to pass through. The paper itself has what looks to be a light laminate, so it's quite strong and gives it a glossy shine.

Keyword "QUALIFICATION"

Only two items show up for this search, but one stands out as the clear winner...



Description:
On the shoreline, Jesus tells the Fishapod, "While your qualifications are impressive, they do not meet our needs at this time." Jesus and the Fishapod are handcut stamps, and Jesus has a gold halo.

Jesus as an HR manager- something I had never considered...

Keyword "FANATIC"

62 results for this keyword (which is a little surpising with how many fanatical crafters there seem to be)...

and the WTF award got to this darling piece of... something (well, I can't actually figure out what it is):



Perhaps the description will help:
Hey Mates! My name is Ringo "I Love You Ya Ya Ya"
I traced back my family tree and it appears that I am a descendant of a Furby and a Gremlin so I guess that would make me a "Furblin" I am looking for a forever home and would like to introduce myself to you. 1st of all I am not a toy for a small child. I have parts that could come off and be swallowed, now that we have that disclaimer taken care of it's time to talk about me... which by the way is one of my favorite subjects!
I am a couch potato and have auditioned for the following reality shows
Dancing with the Stars: Unfortunately for me I don't have legs or feet
Amazing Race: (Visa revoked by the court system... that's another story I will have to explain to you)
American Idol: Simon said I should sing solo (So Low that nobody can hear me) I think he is mean
Survivor: Jeff said I lack the abilities to survive in a Jellystone Park (also see Amazing Race Visa Problems)
So with all that said do I sound like someone you would like to get to know? If so I am up for adoption and would love to meet and be your buddy. I am one of a kind! I am made of fleece, felt, and yarn. I have on the coolest of shades and you gotta love my 1960's haircut. I come with a laminated card with my name and description of my reality show fiascos. Hope to See You Soon I also have brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles that will be featured by seller Kottonkandy52 they would make awesome fun one of a kind gifts for friends and family! Remember I am not a toy so please do not give me to small children.
I measure approx 3" tall and I sometimes can stand with a little help from my friends.

Nope. The description doesn't help at all.

Anyone know what this might be? Other than perhaps a waste of $10...
