Keyword "INSIGHT"

57 results for insight- mostly a "new age" variety of fun...

But this one took the cake (and I suppose could serve it too).



Description
...
I know, I know...more eye plates!! I just can't help myself. I love eyes, the window to the soul. I painted a third eye to remind you to exercise yours. We all have one you just need to use it!!!

Keyword "IGNORANCE"

What a surprisingly appropriate random word! While Esty may have only 34 results for this, I saw at least fifty in just one weekend! I suppose that comes with working customer service...

My favorite item (and one quite suited to my office):



Description
Boy is this sign so true in my house...Nobody ever knows anything! LOL! I guess this comes from living with all males!

The background has been undercoated black over which I have topcoated dark blue. The edges have been sanded to give the sign a nice worn prim feel. In ivory lettering I have stenciled "Ignorance Is Bliss, So Why Aren't You Happy?" on the sign. Antiquing has been lightly applied to the sign.


Wonderful... just what I need for my office. Then I can ask everyone how happy they are and they'll just think I'm being friendly...

Keyword "SUMMARY"

Just ONE lonely result for summary!

So I have to post it-



Summary of a Night in Paris
Description
Necklace handmade with love featuring a brass pendant adorned by a deconstructed vintage button as the centerpiece. From the pendant hangs a faceted bead of palest blue, bottom tipped by a transparent bicone swarovski. The faceted bead actually turns a pale lavender in certain natural lights -- I can't really explain why, it just does. (Please see picture for most accurate description.)

Keyword "HUDDLE"

Only 15 result for huddle- and this item was hands down the cutest!



Description
This set of 4 Chilly Penguin stitch markers was made by hand from polymer clay. The stitch markers that you receive may differ slightly from the ones shown because each one is hand sculpted by me, but the style of each penguin will be the same. This set includes penguins wearing earmuffs, a scarf, a hat, and mittens.

How adorable are they!?

Keyword "DEBAUCHERY"

For some reason I expected far more than a measly nine results for such a fun word!

Of those nine there were several repeats too- but I did find something fun:



Description:
This Limited Edition Holiday card features "Holiday Debauchery" on a 5x7" folded card with Merry Christmas printed on the inside. This card is signed and comes with a bright red envelope.

Hmmmmm- I think I know what my friends and family are getting for cards THIS year!

Keyword "BRIEF"

394 result- the majority of which had to do with- well, briefs.

But one set of briefs blew all the other offerings away:



Description

We joked about it long enough, it was time to make dreams come true! Please allow us to introduce our first EVER pair of beef jerky underwear we call BRIEF JERKY. Note the time and care that has gone into crafting this wonderful undergarment. The attention to the properly placed groments that enhance the wearers comfort! We've even "bedazzled" this pair and added our Mixed Species logo on the back next to a heart of rhinestones. All in time for Father's Day!

Why not- when I think of what I'm getting for my Dad I can't NOT consider beef jerky briefs... not at least unless I was SANE. For the love of gawd I hope this is not a serious post...

Keyword "EQUALITY"

245 results for equality- mostly for gay rights and male/female equality themed items.

But, low and behold, THERE WAS something completely out of the ordinary in the search:

Love Equals Cats Cuff


Description
This cuff is indeed a lovely accessory to any outfit or costume. Overwhelmingly cute stitched felt pieces and charms make this piece ideal for cosplays, sweet lolita outfits, or just adding a bit of feline fandom to your everyday wear.

I'm all for cats (everyone who knows me will attest to that, but even I would go so far to say that NOTHING I wear ever needs this much "feline fandom".

Ever.

Keyword "MIDDAY"

Only 22 items in this search- but low and behold there's a creepy one...



Description
This piece is a signed, 8x10 high quality print of an original acrylic painting, printed on heavy weight smooth stock - with its white border, it fits perfectly into an 8x10 frame!

From The Artist, About the Image:
In anticipation of an upcoming family beach trip – visualizing gorgeous sun, clear sky, warm sand and two well-behaved, rambunctious, little round boys soaking up the fun in the sun (with lots of sun protection, of course) then relenting to tranquil naps in cool sheets – I began this painting, truly led by a warm, simple and glorious vision.


Nothing too creepy at first glance... but then the EYES...

OMG the closed eyes. That's not even physically possible. You can't have normal eyes then once you shut them they go all Gollum style.

CREEPY...

Yes, seriously, that is the description. No background, no inspirations, no mention of size, or age... Perhaps all that information come inscribed on a gold plaque as the cost fro this item is SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS...
