Microcosm


I really appreciate attention to detail in art and other creative endeavors. One of my favorite creations is still Tom Friedman's 1991 untitled folded paper project, in which he (supposedly) crumbled up a sheet of paper, unfolded it, and then recreated the exact same folds and crease marks in a second sheet. 

A few months ago I ordered this ring from Etsy seller Auka, who creates tiny naturescapes--oftentimes with perfectly detailed little humans. This swimming lady is immersed in water with strategically placed 'bubbles' floating at the surface. Unfortunately, her foot broke off on the second day of wear.






A couple of weeks ago, my friend Casey brought another Etsy seller to my attention that completely blew my mind. She makes rings with tiny (and very random) food pairings...



First of all, what? "Cola and Nacho Cheese Corn Chips Snack ring"?? Genius! (Graduation gift please!)
Update: This ring sold today :(


"Carrot Juice Soft Boiled Egg Bread Ring"... Really?



Item description: "Mmm! Meat! There is a big hamburger steak with corn and okra and a yummy tomato sauce is being poured!"


You win,SouZouCreations. These are officially the craziest rings I've ever seen.
