Regretsy: where DIY meets WTF - April Winchell


Regretsy: where DIY meets WTF - Winchell, April

Summary: HANDMADE? IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MADE IT WITH YOUR FEET!

A chicken poncho. A painting of a corn dog. A clock made out of an old “mostly clean” cheese grater. All this and more await you in the pages of Regretsy, a veritable sideshow of handcrafts gone wrong. Based on the eponymous hit blog and arranged in categories such as Dead Things, Pet Humiliation, and Garbage, Regretsy showcases the best of the worst from Etsy.com, ranging from the hilariously absurd to the purely horrifying. Each page of this jaw-dropping volume features the actual seller’s listing with a light coat of hostile commentary to give it a good shellacking. So join us as we descend into handmade hell and gawk, gasp, and marvel at the disturbingly odd artifacts that Regretsy has collected for your viewing pleasure, proving that you can never have too much of a bad thing. - (Random House, Inc.)
