The Wee Grape

la Uva! The Grape! Ole!


Finished a few toys that have been in the works for a while, this little luchador amongst them. Also a stegosaurus, and a chic mouselet.

Epitome of Cute v. Creepy

found Lisa Evans' illustrations on Etsy. Everything is round-headed and big-eyed and inarguably cute. . . but also the teensiest bit off. Upsettingly long tentacle-y arms? Lots of scenes against deep dark black skies.

love it. Check her out on Etsy at her firefluff shop

Creepy/Cute in ohmycavalier

I love creepy/cute. I also like romantic/creepy. And I think ohmycavalier on etsy, brings both possibilities to the party. Also an old fashioned Gorey-esque style of drawing that feels very 18th/19th century.

I love it.

Good news 4 and the fabulous Jill Huntsberger

The fabulous Jill Huntsberger's kitchen ceiling fan light cord terminates in a tiny rubber chicken.

But don't get me started on the scary painting in the background. The fabulous Jill Huntsberger tried to convince me that it was a cute painting, but if not for the dear tiny rubber chicken taking up most of my attention, I would have nightmares for weeks.

Elsita

I've been a fan of Elsita on Etsy almost as long as I've been doodling about on Etsy. I was most attracted to her 3-D work--her little felt and paperclay people and her 3-D paper cuts of honeybees.

But this print is the perfect blend of cute v. creepy that I love so much.

Creepy Cute

I should have posted about foliage's etsy shop a few weeks ago. I threw a baby shower and ordered a whole big batch of these for the food table centerpiece. . . and then as a takeaway at the end of the party.

They are the perfect mix of cute creepy and they were a big hit. Thanks, foliage!
