Robots 4 U

Moving has eaten my brain PLUS I'm traveling for work this week, so in place of any coherent post, I bring you ROBOT ART, courtesy of Etsy. (As always, click on the images to visit the listings.)


robots and blasters


Robots in love. With guns. What is better than that? Nothing.


robots and commerce


These are the robots capitalism was supposed to bring us. Where are they?


robots yelling


Even robots get cranky.


robot earrings


Awwwww, robot earrings!


robot earrings


Robots + cupcakes, two great memes that taste great together!

And one last one:


robot fabric


Robot fabric! I wish there was more than one yard ...

Here's hoping that robots put YOU in a good mood, too. Happy Wednesday!

    Love the robots! I think the earrings may be my favorite. They certainly put me in a good mood. Thanks for the fun photos!

    Oh, buy the one yard, you know you want to, make a blouse and a solid skirt or a two toned dress...

    You have a lot going on! Good luck with the changes. Glad you are still able to post during the hectic time too.

    That second one down is actually a star projector from a planetarium - I know because I used to operate one for a living. Now I'm drooling over that print on Etsy :) ... thanks!

    I adore the cranky robot. He shakes his tiny fists at the sky!

    Ha! I do a search for "robot" on Etsy every once in a while, too!

    Business travel and trying to move at the same time? Good luck!

    Funny timing on the Robot post, as I got an email on a sale for robot (and other) fabrics:

    Abstract Robot Interlock

    or this
    Robot Rib Knit

    I wish they were woven fabrics...

    Just bought the angry robot print - I absolutely adore his little angry fist

    I LOVE robots! :) Might have to pick me up a set of those robot earrings. They'd look mighty cool dangling from my robot-lovin' lobes.

    That cranky one looks more grimly revolutionary, to me. The fist in the air, the grimace, and all.

    I'm not really into robots. But those robot earrings catch my attention. =D

    "That second one down is actually a star projector from a planetarium"
    - that's exactly what I wanted to write! I did not use to work in a planetarium, but it's such a specific shape that I cannot forget it.

    I just bought a yard of that fabric to make a dress for my 2-year-old daughter. Thanks for the tip!

    I just bought the cutest robot themed flannel fabric off ebay for my grandson's quilt-in-progress!

    The robot ear rings are really cool. Can you tell me where to get it? Thanks!

    I have not been affected by robots in this lifetime, as of yet, and so remain neutral to them. But I DO think similar earrings in different colors are cute. Mix it up a little, you know? They become more like charms on a bracelet than a perfectly matchy-matchy pair.

    What you can do is buy 2 sets of earings of the same make (but different color or whatever), switch the partners, and give the other resulting set to an adventurous friend.

    I did this with Mexican earrings (matching a rooster and a donkey) and also some tiny pressed flowers in turquoise and/or yellow glass. My sister liked her set because they were real conversation starters. People would say, "Do you know you're wearing different earrings?" and she'd say, "Yes! Isn't it great?"

    My robotic arm is in love with your robot fabric. Hot and electric!

    Whoops - Blogger doesn't want me to share capitalism's real robots with the world! Here are the robots the future hath wrought - this robotic arm is not unlike Fortune's hallucinations. But they never expected the robots to flourish... IN SPACE!
