Editors' Picks: All Eyes On You

It’s no secret that my fellow editors and I are mildly obsessed with eyeballs. From the all-seeing eye hand amulet that sits on Alison’s desk to the removable bright eyes wallpaper in Valerie’s favorites, we’re fans of all things optical. Heck, we even published a tutorial about how to make handpainted eyeball tights last fall!

So, when the time came to brainstorm our next batch of editors’ picks, it made perfect sense to focus on the ever-popular eyeball. Scroll on for our collection of visionary finds from Etsyland.

Some neat finds! In many cultures and countries the evil eye is symbolic of protection against evil and bad things. My friend is from Turkey and she has brought me a pendant and a chain bracelet that I wear every day. I feel very safe!

Wonderful to see such variety on the same subject matter! That's one of the reasons I love etsy...you're just not going to find this kind of creativity anywhere else!

"Eye" love this editor's picks story featuring wearable eyeballs! I just added a very cool eye sculpture to a treasury. It makes sense that Etsians would love eyes - we use them so much everyday to create and to find such great treasures.
