My New Obsession: “Monsters of the Household Variety”
Ok, forget about my last post! This is what I’m buying myself for my birthday… “Monster’s of the Household Variety
” by Ruth Ashton.
The entire book is hand stitched and the monsters are phenomenally illustrated and stitched, as well. I’m obsessed. It’s been exactly 5 days since discovery!
Here’s a little background… I was trying on clothes in Anthropology at the Grove. My guy was permitted into the dressing room lounge to wait for me. I came out to show him the first outfit choice and found him mesmerized by the book. There he sat on an over-sized leather sofa with this enormous book of stitched monsters. This book is so clever! I’m torn between my favorite monster being the “Hot Water Running Cold Dragon” or the “Garden Poo Monster.”
Here’s the stumbling block… it’s $1200. Check-out Anthropology’s page for the “Monster’s of the Household Variety.”
Note to Ruth: If you need a web developer or help with online marketing, viral campaigns, or anything along these lines, please get in touch! I emailed you already off of your personal site but haven’t received a response. I’m hoping you use Google Alerts and that this gets picked up and sent to your in-box. I’m a HUGE fan of your creation!
