Are Sloths the New Foxes? (or Owls… or Moustaches…)

by | May 10, 2012 | Collections, Handmade | 9 comments

So, I saw this sloth necklace by MaryMary on Etsy recently (was she the featured seller?) and didn’t think much of it. I thought it was cute, of course, and the silversmith in me could not help but analyse the design… but anyways, that’s off topic!

The point is… after I saw this, I started seeing sloths popping up all over! It got me thinking – are sloths the new foxes? Will they reign supreme as the next cute craft meme?

Let us examine some of the evidence so far…

And finally… you know something’s gone mainstream when there are wedding toppers!

 So, what do you think? Are sloths the next craft meme, or have you seen something else lurking around that might take the crown?

      Does anyone else my age remember the ‘me and my llama’ song? Was it on Sesame Street? The little girl and her llama going to the doctor… I know, it sounds like a trip, but it was real!

    Koalas, snails and platypuesesesess (giggle) are popping up all over the place for me at the moment… and a few months ago it was froggies, I guess it depends on what your search terms are when you’re browsing around too

    Sloths are totally the new cupcakes – long overdue turn in the spotlight! They are the most awesome-est of animals, I got up close to one at the Singapore Zoo and it was so alien-like. Love them 🙂
