This, my friends, is when a bevy of different elements come together to create a work of “art”

This culmination of mermaid / fairy / banshee / cat barf brings tears to my eyes.

Literally.

Tears of joy, laughter, and FEAR.

I’m not entirely sure if it’s felt, cotton, cat barf or lint but regardless of its origin, it’s definitely taken the crafter quite a bit of time to weave it, mold it or squish it just so.

The flowers are a nice touch though. Kinda.

I get this eerie feeling that I’m staring at some kind of cocoon waiting to suck me in while I’m sleeping – like an alien pod or something.

WTF? Alien pod? What was on that television when I fell asleep last night?

Upcycling can have it’s advantages. Sure, there are defintely some items, that would otherwise be classified as waste, which can be reused and create something magnificent.

Upcycling and “art” is a very slipperly slope. Very slippery.

An artist could use their talents to create some truly wonderful projects from recycled items. They could make something truly stunning like this:

Which – HELLO?! I want.

This dress, created from 100% recycled ties is simply gorgeous.

This artist / designer needs to help out this person, because this? This is NOT what you should be doing with your time or recyclables:

In case you missed that, it’s a CHAIR.

MADE. OUT. OF. HAIR.

My friend gave me an old barber chair she found behind her building, and I knew it had to be covered in hair extensions.

One question.

You knew it had to be covered in HAIR. EXTENSIONS?

Srsly?

Because when I see I chair, I know I have to SIT on it. I know that it better be comfortable. I know that it should be sturdy.

But covered in HAIR? Um…..

I don’t care if the hair extensions aren’t real hair. That’s really not the issue. The issue is that this barber chair is COVERED. IN. HAIR.

P.S. I feel incredibly bad making an example out of that tie dress in the same post as a FREAKIN’ HAIR CHAIR.

P.S.S. Would someone PLEASE buy me that tie dress?!

P.S.S.S. Pretty please?

Thanks to Mary for sending this in! This is what Mary sent in her email which made me spit coffee on my laptop. Thanks again Mary, I’ll be sending the technician’s bill your way my friend.

It’s a barber chair covered in weaves. Lots of weaves. Like someone had skinned Cousin It and all of his hairy relatives, friends, buddies, and sexual partners and made a chair.

There’s so much here, I can’t stop staring at these images.  AND THEY ARE STARING BACK – NO MATTER WHICH WAY I TURN MY LAPTOP.

Remember the days of grade school where there was one little kid, always dressed perfectly, always happy to clap erasers or hand out papers to the class in the spirit of sucking the teacher’s ass helping the teacher?

What the listing said:

This hand-made, one of a kind doll is made from a pattern I created myself. Her body is made from hand dyed fabric and her face is painted. She also has embroidered and fabric leaves on her body. Her hair is needle felted into her head (sounds painful but I assure you she felt no pain, just joking!)
