When online stalking is a good thing!

In Pursuit Of Pop Tarts

by Violet on February 8, 2010

One of my early memories is of my mother refusing to buy me and my siblings pop tarts for breakfast. What had I possibly done to deserve such hardship? It said RIGHT ON THE COMMERCIAL that they were part of a nutritious breakfast! Sheesh! No matter how old I get, I still love the humble pop tart. (Although, I will admit to buying the organic brand at times now that I’m a mom myself. ) Whether you eat them room temperature or toasted, plain or buttered, or (like my son) only eat the center and leave the “crusts” for your mother, pop tart lovers have hit the jackpot with this exhibit.

In Pursuit Of Pop Tarts

Sweet Stella’s skills with polymer clay mean you never have to choose just one pop tart flavor. Her bracelet has them all!

This glittery gal is part of Knobnets’ “fun food” series of handpainted wooden switchplates. Love the sparkly pink paint and the clear rhinestone accents!

Danzdzynes offers these little pop tart charms in your choice of plain or with a strawberry scent! (Plus, you’ve got to love an item description that reads: “Please specify whole or bitten Pop-Tart when ordering”)

Had these handstitched felt toaster pastries been around when I was little, I’m sure my mother would have bought them just to torment me. From: SewLindsay.

The bright colors in this ACEO by AunJuli perfectly capture the joy that is a pop tart. (Pssssst! It’s also a sale item of the week in her shop.)

The Curious Pug used nice soft graham cracker colored felt to make this darling blueberry poptart ipod/iphone cozy. There’s even a little back pocket for storing ear buds.

This warm and toasty pastry is actually a little brooch, courtesy of Hot Chick Physics. Pin it on your lapel to show that you’re on Team Pop Tart!

Happy Toasting!

The coffee goes to Trixx who said, “Would love to try the Colombian Light Roast. Yum!”

The gift certificate goes to Elena Mary Siff whose entry read, “What imaginative imagery..love the Dark Desert bag!”

Great big thanks to Cheyne and Thomas for sharing a bit of their exquisite partnership with our readers.

Due to the Superbowl tonight (Violet should be cleaning, not posting) and the Shadowbox launch on Wednesday, we will not be running a Solo Exhibit this week. To make up for it, we’ve got a doozy of a giveaway for next week!

Love,
Beatrice and Violet

Melamine Plates (a Treatise Against Fine China)

by Curator BeatriceFebruary 4, 2010

True story: my daughter, known around these parts as Clover, asked me the other day why nice china plates were so expensive if they were just going to break (I should add: she know about china breakage from lots of personal experience). She held up one of our favorite melamine plates: “These should cost hundreds [...]

Mosaics: Picking Up The Pieces

by VioletFebruary 3, 2010

There is so much to love about a mosaic: the texture inherent in the pieces, the opportunity to see old materials in a fresh way, the way the whole becomes much more than the sum of its parts. To make a mosaic, one must pick up the pieces of something broken and create something [...]
