I'm sitting firmly on the cute/creepy fence with this post. Not all of Selda Okutan's jewellery creeps me out. Actually, some of it I find absolutely beautiful. It's still unusual, but a large amount of her pieces are hugely wearable in a 'ooooh where did you get that?' kind of way.
Pretty, isn't it? Certainly eye catching but lovely at the same time.
And then it gets a little more unusual. This open ring has a guy taking a nap in it.
Now more little guys have woken up to take over this ring.
And now they're all having a play in this hotel brooch. I'm so on the fence with creepy and cute. Is it possible to enjoy getting the heebie-jeebies?
And then we get to this Of Mice and Men ring and I'm full on creeped out. It seems the more little people there are, the creepier the pieces get (and incidentally, they get more expensive with each extra little guy too). Yet I can't not love Selda's work. I think it's gorgeous. What do you guys think? Cute? Creepy? If you love it, head over to Boticca and show her some love.

That second ring with the guy napping in looks like a pair of black granny panties.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed the looking at the works of this designer and featured one of the rings in a post http://www.theclosetclause.com/2012/01/sweet-temptation-selda-okutan-of-mice.html
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I love the little people - not creepy at all.
