DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY


Va va voom, originally uploaded by catbishop.

Well I've spent much of the day singing "Dude looks like a lady" loudly tho I really have no idea of the tune. I showed my son this new piece and sang the song and he laughed so hard I just keep doing it. I wish i knew the tune, that would be helpful.

"Dude" was created with a really cool retro glass and chrome? coffee pot, vintage bocce ball, old wooden game parts and old danish wooden candlestick legs. He/she stands 21 1/2" tall and has legs up to here. If i can sign the bottom of the candlesticks i will.

Mr Magic Cocktail


Mr Magic Cocktail, originally uploaded by catbishop.

Mr Magic Cocktail is a functional retro cocktail shaker with a removable, poseable bakelite 8 ball head, dice and old dominoes. He's yearning to live in a retro bar and make martinis all night. The little cap is missing but you can easily cover it and shake. He measures 13" tall, is named, signed, dated and one of a kind.

I'm screwed if i need to bake a cake.....

It's official my art/life is becoming unmanageable... I'm assembling things I need. This is when it becomes a sickness, no? I can see me sitting around with all these weird creatures and no fuctioning appliances, no bowls, cups...if I had a pooltable i'd be screwed for balls. Luckily I'm too poor to afford a pooltable.

Thanks so much to everyone who has already visited my previously comatose shop. I really appreciate all the kind words and support. It's great to be virtually surrounded by such a fun group of friends...

Etsy lost my shop BOGO Sale


PA vintage junk alien guy, originally uploaded by catbishop.

As anyone with a shop on Etsy knows these last couple weeks have been hell on sales. The search functions have gone haywire and newly listed items may not show up for days. Unless someone already knows about your shop and goes there there's no traffic. Many of my listings are nowhere to be found thru a search. I went from doing over $900. in sales (both etsy shops) last month to non-existent sales this month. It's scary and bad timing so I'm having a "Buy one get one free Etsy lost my shop Sale" on all earrings. I'm also offering free shipping on art that generally ships for $10. Free shipping on photos too. Just wait for a revised invoice. On earrings just "buy' the higher priced pair and email me with your free choice (or add it in the comments on the invoice.) Please don't actually buy the free pair. No limit on the bogo. Thanks for your help during this Etsy ate my listings Malfunction....

Rueben

My mom had an alarm clock like this when I was little and I always liked it. It's a vintage travel alarm and sides slide over the face of the clock. I found 6 of them at the flea market a few weeks ago and one turned into Rueben.

I need a robot to do my stuff for me...


Humphrey, originally uploaded by catbishop.

I am seriously not accomplishing anything today. So much so that a blog entry feels like way too much work. Will someone just go buy a bunch of my stuff so I can feel ok about being a slacker today? Please? Don't make me beg...too much effort.

If anyone has any motivational tips please comment, tyvm.
