MAD TEA: The Mad Art of Betty Rae Case

Believe me. I know from long experience that this is not the sort of thing a monster wants to wake up to. That being fuzzy, shambling nightmares gathered around your bed. Of course, I sleep under my bed, like any self-respecting haunter of attics and basements. I also make creepy noises while I sleep. Well, I don’t want to spend this whole blog post bragging, so I’d better get to the point.

At first glance, these little specimen jars hold cute little bears. A little reading, however, notifies us that these cute little bears are made out of belly button lint. Mmmm. Creepy. These are the work of Betty Rae Case and are sold in her Etsy Store. I’m not ashamed to say that these little guys are in my “It’s safe to tell you now I’ve ordered mine.” (ISTTYNIOM) category. One of the cool things about Etsy is that you can commission the artist to do something custom. Once I get mine, I’ll share.

Besides the belly button lint, Betty Rae Case also creates jewelry made with “human ivory” (read: nail clippings) and (dull in comparison) security envelopes. Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm. Very creepy cool. Lights out.
