Sticky french bulldog and computer

Decal for your laptop by Etsy seller Ivy Bee.

She's also got sharks, birds, dogs, monkeys, and some guys from that show that was way better in England.

Beaver and Cock hats

Genius little hats that either tell the world what you've got...or what you want.

They've got Beaver and Cock...but what about Ass and Pussy?*

* I know it's redundant, but I wanted to link to the image. It's my blog, darn it.

Headless and naked, they wait at the Bay

I sometimes shop at the downtown Bay, not because it's a great store, but because it's across the street from my train stop. It's quite surreal in there; I always get lost no matter how many times I go in. The sightlines are non-existant, the lighting is grumpy, and nine times out of ten if you pick an item (one of several identical items on a rack with a giant SALE sign on it), the salesgirls will tell you that one isn't on sale. They've got bait and switch down to a fine art there, I tell you.

And still I go back, out of boredom more than anything. And sometimes I see weird stuff like this, which makes it all worthwhile.

Mokume Gane and Sterling Silver Bat Necklace

For sale on ebay, Martin Siebach writes:

Hand-forged in my own furnace, this mokume gane bat is made from 29 layers of red brass and copper. I hand-forged the chain from sterling silver. Set with glowing garnet eyes, it is a striking piece. It measures approx. 18" in total length. The bat itself is approx. 3 5/8" wide by 2 5/8" in height. All of my pieces bear my maker's mark.

This is a one-of-a-kind necklace. Each piece of mokume gane that I create is absolutely unique. The serendipity of the hand-forging, coupled with the behavior of the each metal on any given day when being forged, patterned and patinated, make it impossible to create the same piece twice.
