Regretsy

Allowing people to sell handmade art and craft items online is a great way for emerging "artists" to get their work out there and earn a bit of cash on the side.  Sites such as Etsy have been providing just this kind of service since 2005...

Unfortunately however; along with every beautiful necklace made of buttons, there is an inversely beautiful statue of a fish wearing a squirrel suit.

This is where Regretsy comes into play.  The creators of the site trawl through the darkest reaches of Etsy and provide you with some of the most disturbing, hilarious, and occasionally awesome findings.  Some of the items they've managed to find are really quite up there with the most whiskey-tango-foxtrot of internet offerings.

Beer bottle drinking glasses - cool!

These are 12 once Jamaican Red Stripe beer bottles that have been opened up into drinking glasses. The process starts by washing the bottle, then placing it into an annealing oven. The oven is set to one thousand one hundred degree, and let to sit for 30 minutes. A rod is then dipped into a melted pot of spectrum 96 glass and formed into a punti. The punti is then touched to the bottom of the bottle and transferred to a glory hole furnace. The bottle is heated until the glass begins to move. A special tool call jacks are then used to open the narrow bottleneck into a cylinder. Once the bottle is in its final shape it is then placed back into an annealing oven to cool of the course of 30 hours, to assure no stress fractures form in the cup.
