Here, let me sell you some wadded up lint.

It occurs to me that I could sell REAL rocks on Etsy, and people would buy them.

Um...Because the glass bead you made for Jenn doesn't soak up sweat and turn into a horrible hairball?

You know- I just looked at their sales history. Out of 71 sales only 5 were those little felt "rocks". Everything else was just them selling wool to random people.

Who knew that people would rather not buy dust bunnies at $10 each? (Other than everyone with a brain, anyway)

That would exclude 95% of the population.

You could start selling your dryer lint, Nigel. Give them some competition.

True... the other 66 people could have just bought wool elsewhere, maybe even in bulk. At least they were smart enough to not pay for the felt "rocks" so maybe, just maybe, there is a little hope for humanity yet.

The hilarious part? Those are the easiest things to make and some of the cheapest feltcrafts out there. Any kids who played with yarn and stuffing probably made some accidentally at some point. It's about as close to "art" as drawing a stick man is.

1) Take some cheap stuffing.
2) Ball up tightly.
3) loosely wrap some mixed wool around the stuffing ball so you don't see stuffing anymore.
4) Roll around in hands until wool is tightly wrapped around stuffing.
5) Sell to morons at $10 each.

:lol: True. And actually, the satisfaction of knowing that my art will outlast me and not be mistaken for garbage and thrown away is pretty strong.

Yeah, that one, we're still trying to figure out how the fabric survived the process.  Don't fucking tell, though.  This bugger is going to be passed down the family, so that every generation can look at it and say "HOW DO?"
