Grichels Bags and Cases – A Wrinkle in Reality

Like most Etsy shops, Grichels sells limited edition handmade items.  Grichels has modified a lighted Sony Pocket Reader case by applying a piece of leather that has been wrinkled and combined with a pair of eyes to form Gonart, the reader guardian.  The Sony reader cover is $76.  The shop also offers a variety of bags, leather hair accessories, even earmuffs, all with these ethereal creature designs.

Ok, that’s a little creepy ;) Cool. But creepy.

Definitely creepy. It reminds me of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from the Evil Dead trilogy…

@FluidDruid Wow! I’m disappointed! With your name, I thought for sure you’d see a tree spirit or something in that wizened face! ;o)

I love it. I see wisdom, curiousity, kindness, and just a hint of mischief in the face.

It’s good to see that they are still around. I have a framed piece on my wall with three faces and a vase. I bought them years ago when they had a booth set up at the renaissance fair outside of Chicago. My girlfriend thinks they are creepy but guess what, they are on display anyway.

I just love them, they remind me of tree man. Grichels is my fave etsy shop! If I ever get chance to go to America ,I’m looking them up.

@Tracie This is an online shop, and I’m not sure they have a retail location other than through Etsy. They do ship internationally, though.
