Kanye West Tweets, Hand-Stitched, On Etsy

UPDATE: Looks like Supervelma can't promise delivery until after the holidays. Which means you'll have Kanye's entire stock of Christmas tweets to choose from!

Just in time for the holidays, an Etsy seller who goes by the username Supervelma is selling hand-stitched Kanye West tweets. Allow Supervelma to explain the genre: "Add the words "Liz Lemon" to the tweets and you will swear they're coming straight from Tracy Jordan."

To show off her handiwork, Supervelma posted a framed, stitched version of the tweet that made Time realize Kanye is funny. Quoth 'Ye last July:

"I specifically ordered persian rugs with cherub imagery!!! What do I have to do to get a simple persian rug with cherub imagery uuuuugh"

And Supervelma's version:

Strangely perfect, right?

You can special order any of the <140 character poems you so desire, or request non-'Ye tweets if that's your thing. The perfect gift for the person who has everything, we think. (Aside from a Persian rug with cherubs, which is so hard to find but should be so easy uuuuugh!)

I want just the heads of all the republican candidates just floating around on my persian run. I will get my kicks by stepping on them all the time, like they do to us. Etsey - SuperVelma - is that possible ?

What a waste of time and thread.
And Kanye? The reason you can't get a 'persian' rug is that Islam doesn't condone the imagery of any of Allah's authentic creations. That's why what you'll find on them are fantasy creations.
all you want is an 'oriental-style- rug except that cherubs? Really cherubs? Show you have no 'style' to begin with.

'Art', as a serious classical artform is almost dead. Western culture went from the impressionists to the cubists to the dadists to the minimalists to the nihilists - which effectively anihilated art as a *comprehensible medium*. Now, ten years into the new millenium, small works like this are like the first shoots of green on a blighted landscape. Whimsy, irony, profundity, but without the grandiosity.

Do you mind if I steal "Whimsy, irony, profundity­, but without the grandiosit­y." as the new tagline for my etsy shop? Because it might be my favorite review of my work ever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... art is a subjective medium and sometimes something simple can be over thought (kind of like your comment)... the nice thing about being accessible ( yes I am intentionally poking at your comments lack of accessibility...) is that it creates interest to those who wouldn't be interested or be exposed as such to that medium to begin with. Its kind of like the orchestras and choruses that flash mob... there is youtube video of a chorus singing the hallelujah chorus by Handel in a food court, and an orchestra playing Balero in a train station... Again accessible, memorable, and unusual. If presented in the traditional way these musical performances would be ignored, but creating instances or pieces that references the common and ridiculous is no less artistic, the idea is to create inspiration and interest for young artist and creators then we lose the art form...
But if the idea is to alienate all of those who seek inspiration with the Nihilistic spirit of that comment... Congratulations, you have succeeded...

This makes me want to watch the hysterical vid of Josh Groban singing Kanye West's tweets again. I'd forgotten how idiotic he is. Kanye, not Josh. :) Off to find it now......

If my objective was to sell or promote something and I wanted to be successful I certainly wouldn't associate Kanye's name with any of it.

OMG, you're so right. I heard that the artist was pinning all her hopes and dreams on this project.

a persian rug would never have cherub imagery unless you screamed like a rap star for it.

Oh dear. Did Kanye really tweet this? That is one of the most idiotic requests I have ever heard.

Love it. This ranks right up there with the guerilla knitters and the website 'bad lip reading". God knows, it's nice to see lighthearted humor these days.

Dear Kanye -

STOP! Just STOP!

Persia, Iran, is a Muslim country. According to the Koran, images of people, even cherubs, are not allowed. So how does Kanye expect to get Persian rugs with cherub imagery?

wow really good point! I think Kanye expects everything! haha

You're smart, and I like that about you.
