Etsy-Betsy Spider...
With handicrafts and handmade items knitting their way into fashion among the youngsters in our over-automated digilization, BK firm Iospace Design has launched online craft fair Etsy.com. Don't know about the name, but maybe the domain www.hipstercraftprojects.com was taken.
Anti-Brooklynism aside, there are a few clever creations amongst the tchotchkes. The tiny octopi crocheted from hand-dyed wool calms my psychedelia urges, and pink coffin-shaped soaps will be make great holiday hostess gifts.
You can sort items by location, color, or category (incl: glass, furniture, & geekery). The best part about this website is reading the seller profiles. Unlike most craft fairs, these goods aren't produced by underpaid women and children in sweatshop settings.
