Keep it Weird: Think Inside the Box
In elementary school, I was a fiend for book reports. Before the narrative arc had climaxed, I would already be filling shoeboxes with Fimo characters, papier-mache motifs, and metaphorical embellishments. The diorama is the ultimate immersion. I just want to climb inside these realms, wipe my feet on the …
Keep it Weird: Annual Checkup
Is there a parasite festering at the periphery of your cellular walls? Is your gum tissue going soft? As creators, we attentively tend to our psyches and emotional cores, but often neglect the physical vessel. Probing beneath the surface is at the heart of Keep it Weird, so take a sample and send it to the lab …
Keep it Weird: House Party
Having celebrated my birthday earlier this week, it's time for a Keep it Weird shindig. Strap on your party hat and take a swig of these murky cocktails. Etsy fiestas always keep up the neighbors and trash the front yard. I just hope I remember this tomorrow morning. Cheers to Hedonist Sunglasses by …
Keep it Weird: Rebirth
I've always been fond of particularly chubby infants, but in the past few years, my maternal yearnings have truly kicked into hormonal high-gear. I'm drawn not only to the squeezable cheeks or head fuzz, but also the bold and zany spirit that comes so naturally to babies. No object can be truly explored …
Keep it Weird: Renewed Vigor
For the new year, I vow to embrace disorder in my life. My fingertips shall be calloused from scrawling spontaneous villanelles, cutting boards saturated with the dark juice of dense fruits, walls pocked by indecisiveness and whim. Wading through debris, I will scrape my knees against the precipitate of …
Etsy Finds: Deviant Behavior
It's the season for sharing, so why not spread the love for your most unique of Etsy Favorites? Each week I look forward to the searches I must conduct in the name of the Keep it Weird series on Etsy's blog. I meander from "specimen" to "macabre," discovering creations that compel me to raise high the roof beams! Let …
Keep it Weird: Kindred Spirit
For this week's Keep it Weird, fellow Etsy shopper Fata shares his favorite specimens for our viewing pleasure. We are all a collection of atomic particles interacting in a quantum dance with all other particles in the universe. I am one such unique organization of this matter that seeks the blend of …
Keep it Weird: In the Ecozone
Is global warming the Debbie Downer to your unseasonably pleasant winter? Before biodiversity drowns under melting glaciers, let's celebrate the ecological niches of eccentricity. This week's Keep it Weird took me on an off-roading tour of biomes. I'd love to inhabit any of these environments, where the …
Keep it Weird: Mangy Manger
There is so much potential for self-expression in holiday decor that going traditional seems like a cop-out. If miracles of blazing oil or immaculate conception inspire you to reimagine our accepted constructs of reality, consider your tree a canvas for experimentation. How do you plan to provoke …
Keep it Weird: Plymouth Rock
If yesterday was a whirlwind of tofurkey and pie, sit back and relish the day-after food coma with some puritanical oddities. It's time to go against the grain in celebration of the pilgrims' journey for freedom. This week's Keep it Weird goes down real smooth with leftover gravy. I give thanks for the Zombie …
