COVETED: The Art for the Cash Poor edition

POSTED: Thursday, June 10, 2010, 8:00 PM

Collectors of pretty things, take note: Every week, we're rounding up a what's-what of what we [heart], culled from the scores of design blogs, artist sites and Etsy treasuries we stalk on the regular.

This Saturday and Sunday, you won't need fat wallets to walk home with sweet goods. As CP's own Neighborhood Watcher Nyidera Edwards reports, InLiquid's 11th annual Art for the Cash Poor is all about budget. You won't find a single item that costs more than $199, and most goods are way cheaper. Here are some of our favorite picks (including the sad/awesome Flyers bracelet by Becks Buttons, above) from artists who'll show their work this weekend. Just make sure to check AFTCP's website since not everyone's participating both days. Happy shopping!

Cosmos digital collage print, $35, Jen McCleary
Kick-Ass Roller Derby diner plate, $16, Folded Pigs
Fuzzy Bear helmet in soft chocolate brown, $58, Bull and Bear Wear

Robocop letterpress thank-you card set, $15, Huldra Press
Victoria Digs Plumes necklace, $69, bijouXstudio
Ilse and Gertie print, $40, Lisa Hurwitz

Soy Sauce Packet cat toy, $5, Polydactyl Cats
Kensington, Philadelphia, PA, 2002, James Singewald Photography
I Am An 80 Year Old Woman original silkscreen, $25, Exit 343 Design
