Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once in a while.
One of my favorite things about Etsy is how many sellers are obsessed with sticking things to other things. Whether it’s “fashion” (and I use the term loosely), dolls, or art, assemblage is always a popular method of creation among Etsy makers. Mind you, sometimes it’s done beautifully, and I applaud anyone who can make wonderful things using found materials, but of course, some are more successful than others.
It may not be the most practical or fashionable thing in today’s lineup, but at least you know he had fun assembling the materials… From Wineworkz who must have fun preparing their materials…Yes, I would have worn it in the ’80s. Heck, I would have MADE it in the ’80s. Not my style these days, but a seriously well-balanced job nonetheless. By Cecihidalgo“My dream” assemblage art. While I may have weird dreams, I don’t usually inflict them on others. However, I am quite entertained by the terrified Victorian child being stared down by giant baby birds.The best thing I can say about this is I’m sure it was a lot of work. Now THIS is upcycling!

This is more of a shatelaine, which is a non-stylish way to keep random garbage on one’s person.“Petting Zoo Mini Teddy Bear Jeans” win this week’s Because Etsy prizeI think this is exceptionally cool!

At least it’s recyclable…Etsy, putting the ass in AscotIs anyone else unsettled by the sheer volume of doll heads in these things?Q: Whatcha wearin’? A: Junk drawer.Comme Des Garçons, if you can imagine. Apparently, not even famous fashion designers are completely immune to this kind of tragedy. Maybe I’m wrong and this is fashion… Just kidding. It’s terribleI absolutely love this! By LuciansorI am a total magpie, so you know you’ve gone too far when even I think there’s too much going onIt’s a boy!
Some people need to be banned from hot glue guns. All the baby heads are just so creepy. I think the only people interested in vintage baby dolls are Etsy makers who behead them for their projects. Judder.
