Etsy Finds: Two Heads Are Better than One with Jennifer Perkins

Jennifer Perkins lives in a perky little aqua colored house on the south side of Austin, TX, where she makes jewelry for Naughty Secretary Club, plays with her Mastiff puppy Ella, listens to her husband play drums and finds herself spending way too much time on Etsy.

Etsy is synonymous to most people with crafts. A place you might go to look for a new necklace or to buy your sister an appliquéd purse for her birthday. Etsy is also a wondermous place for people to buy original artwork, and for those of us not rolling in the dough, prints. Artists from all over the world showcase their work on Etsy — and take it from someone who has scoured the internet looking for interesting prints, the best selection is here. As I was perusing, I started noticing reoccurring themes in the art. For instance, pictures of chairs kept coming up again and again. Baroque, Jonathan Adler would love it, style chairs. There were all the chicks with things like big sailboats perched in their coifs.

The other theme I was drawn to was that of twins. After several hours of procrastin-etsying, I kept seeing more and more — especially conjoined twins. Something about it caught my attention, and I started hitting the favorites button like there was no tomorrow. Maybe it is the fact that I am a Libra and always feel like there are two Jens in there debating the pros and cons, so I relate. The inner Jens both agreed that when it comes to art, two heads are better than one.

These prints are amazing- reminds me of some old photos I stumbled across at a flea market of siamese twins (but obviously not as creepy as those black and white blank stares!!)
