| Behold 3 'bracelets'. My post is about the middle one. |
- Got this from the British Heart Foundation shop in town. The shop is very bright and clean and has some good stuff. They had a few of these so I imagine they are part of their limited new (not 2nd-hand) ranges.
- The stretchy bracelet has a lovely heavy feel to it. Like haematite. £2.99.
- Upon it are applied colourful transfers.
- Hence my question.
- Transfers of Jesus, Mary, angels and (what looks like) a mediaeval Pope.
- Very bright transfers.
- I call this kitsch.
- Would you agree?
- I'm not a Catholic. I'm a Quaker.
- I hesitated about buying it but I'm not sure why. Aesthetically I like it very much so why the reservations?
- What d'you think?
- Does the religious iconography make it something one should ponder about before buying?
Definitely kitsch in my book, but then I'd say most religious/iconography looks that way to me.
ReplyDeleteI have a bracelet similar to that but mine is wood it was bought for me I don't think it's something I would have gone for myself - Top Shop are selling them which I guess means kitsch lol
ReplyDeleteHe he he! I'm too old to go in Top Shop. But maybe I should give it a try!
