Your Daily Dose of Ridiculously Awesome

Yesterday on Etsy, this thread got me looking for bacon-themed items. And in the process I found these "BLT Earrings" created by the miniature-foodist fairchildart.

BLTs are fantastic. Sadly, I will never have one again considering I went vegetarian a couple months ago. There's vegetarian bacon, but it just doesn't measure up. In any case, these earrings are certainly not made out of meat (I hope...) so that makes me feel a lot better.

And they do look very realistic, much like the other handcrafted food jewelry in fairchild's shop. I mean, come on, she had to have used real brie for this "Soft Cheese and Crackers." And check out these "Cinnamon Bun Earrings."

This piece has been around Etsy for a while now. I found it way back in my favorites, and I'm surprised it hasn't sold. Not only is this eco-friendly "Brand Identity Wearable Art Tags and Labels Jacket" created by undoneclothing totally awesome and wearable, but it would also make a fantastic art piece.

It was created from thousands of labels rescued from clothing, and done with a quilting stitch overtop that brings everything together. You'll definitely have to click the link above to go to the listing and see close up pics of this jacket.

Undone's shop is filled with fabulous whatnots that utilize unusual materials to create clothing and accessories like this pink tape measure coin purse.

Today's eco-friendly ridiculously awesome item comes to you from implexus. She offers yarn made from t-shirts in several colors in her shop.

This "Dusty Fuschia T-shirt Yarn" is 20 yards of continuously cut 50/50 poly cotton fabric that makes excellent yarn. And it's a jersey, so it's stretchy. It's a very easy and cost-effective way to stay green! Or, you know, Dusty Fuschia. But implexus does have green-colored green yarn!

I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of spaghetti. I don't know why, it's just not my favorite pasta shape. But, it does look quite enticing in cake form, a la this spaghetti cake from the Baton Rouge bakery of cakesofgrace.

The meatballs are a fun touch. (Yay vegetarian meatballs!) And the sauce looks delicious. I can't help but wonder what the cake flavor is below all that fondant and icing... chocolate? Red velvet? And can I get the cake with alfredo and mushrooms?

In any case, it would make a really fun birthday cake, or perhaps a wedding cake if you will. So would this "Crawfish Boil Cake."

You can find all sorts of fantastic things on Etsy. Like handspun yarn! And nothing is more fun than the crazy novelty art yarn you find there, made up of all different kinds of fibers and textures. What I like even more than that is well photographed art yarn - like this yarn from LushMommy's shop.

This "Gypsy" yarn is a single ply yarn containing thread, fabric, wool, alpaca, glitz and so much more! Lush collected fibers and whatnots from lots of different Etsy sellers. And you can also buy crazy novelty batts or roving, with lots of different bits already mixed together you can spin from.

Novelty yarn is typically better for small, fun projects like neckwarmers, hats, clutches, or maybe even some mittens! Usually you can get enough of the same novelty yarn to do something like, a sweater, but you could collected different skeins of art yarn and make a crazy awesome sweater!

"TP is to be rolled over the top for a reason." It's true. Don't let me catch you with "underneath rolled" toilet paper!

I found LiciaBeads shop because she has been one of my PW advertisers! (How sweet is free advertising?) And I thought these beadwoven toilet paper charms were adorable. This one comes in the form of a pendant, but you can also get them on a necklace, or as earrings!

And you could be rebellious, and wear your tp charm the wrong way.... but don't let Licia see you! Remember, it's rolled over the top for a reason.

This very summer appropriate ridiculously awesome item is from UtopiaArmoury. And yes... it is a chainmail bikini top.

I know. It looks really heavy and uncomfortable - but it only weighs a half pound, and is made out of aluminum and rubber. And it's swim friendly! You can pair it with a matching bikini bottom and you're good to go!

Definitely a modern twist to the traditional super heavy metal links normally used for things like these. And blue and silver is a great color combination for this summer.

Fashion Bonus Track

This fashion bonus track was designed by Australian student designer Carlos Bouman. He's been published in many online news articles recently because this ridiculously awesome eco-friendly dress won him the People's Choice Award at the DesignTech Powerhouse Museum student work exhibition.

The goal was to create a gown that was very haute couture, while still being eco conscious by using normal everyday items to create the dress.

It's hard to tell at first, but this dress is actually made from dishcloths, bedsheets, and mosquito netting. Carlos literally collected the dishcloths from friends and family members, so they're certainly not new and unused. The dishcloths were hand dyed (along with the other materials) and gathered and pleated to create texture. Folded and pleated bedsheets form the base of the dress, while the mosquite netting serves as a tulle substitute to give the dress volume.

Oh, and the bottom of the dress also unzips off to reveal a little cocktail dress. Click on the article link to see a picture of it!

Today's dose comes to you from heavensentcrafts. Her shop is full of notebooks - and not just made out of floppies, but also game boards, book covers and playing cards. I personally like the Monopoly ones.

This Turquoise Floppy Disk Notebook is great because it makes use of all those floppy disks that most of us don't use anymore, and that would otherwise go to waste. Plus, it's a pretty color. It's got a great metal binding, and is filled with white paper. So don't buy a new notebook when you can go to heavensent's shop and get all kinds of recycled notebook wonderfulness!

Today's daily dose comes to you from the very appropriately named imadeyouabeard. She gives girls (and some guys) everywhere the ability to have a beard. And you can get them in fun colors and styles, too!

One of my very favoritist things about her shop, other from the fact that she makes beards, is the fact that she's the model for her beards! This particular beard is called "Recluse Beard." It's made from cream colored wool roving. Some of her other beards involve yarn or felt, but this one will really make you look like an experienced fisherman.

Wear one to the office, to the park, to the grocery store. Wear one while walking your dog - they're appropriate virtually anywhere!

First off, to any men reading this, I apologize, womanly things like this may be awkward for you. But keep reading, it'll be fantastic.

I'll be the first to admit that I love plushes. I often go searching for them for this series, but when I found VulvaLoveLovely's shop, I knew I hit the ridiculously awesome jackpot. And well, I bet you can guess what kind of things are in her shop. She actually sells an array of wonderful items, but this one is one of my favorites.

Well... it's true. "My Uterus is a Super Nerd." This uteral plushie is made of flannel, sports sexy glasses and carries her books with her wherever she goes! But seriously though, how cute are these? Your uterus could also be a superhero if you so wanted!

Also a notable item from Vulva's shop, which was in the running alongside the nerdy uterus for this post is "Utera Maxima," a giant uterus plush!

Today's ridiculously awesome item is from perrinspage's Etsy shop.

"Persephone's Bike" is a one of a kind piece created from a rescued bicycle. It's all done up with paper and found objects. You totally need to click on the link and look at the other pictures in the listing for some awesome closeups. I love the wheels, and all the little parts to them.

Oh, and it's definitely meant to be sculptural only and not ridden! Although I'm not sure how you'd ride it anyways with no seat or pedals! Perrin says it's been living in a gallery for a month, and it's now looking for a permanent home.

Today's item comes to you from creamtart's apparel and accessories shop.

This "Infinite Dress" is unique because you can transform in into many different looks. Yeah that's right, all those dresses in the picture were done with the same garment! In different colors of course.

I've been trying to figure out how it's done... and since it's a one size fits all sort of deal, it must be a skirt base with long panels of fabric that you can wrap around in certain ways to achieve multiple looks. It's a very fun, multi-occasion piece. And you can choose whichever color you want!

The dress comes with a CD that has an instructional video on how to wrap the dress to get the different looks. I think if I attempted this without a video I would just end up with a haphazard toga dress held together with safety pins. Definitely a cool idea for a garment!
