Tuesday’s Treasury: We all scream for….

Ninja Turtle Ice Cream Bar

In case you didn’t know, yesterday was National Ice Cream Day..and I celebrated VERY generously!

I considered making a treasury that was Batman themed since the new movie is coming out this weekend (like you needed a reminder!), but the internet seems to be well stocked with Batman info, so I thought we would use Tuesday’s Treasury as a nice getaway from Batmania. And what’s a better snack to clear your mind than some ice cream? Am I right??
Another reason why I chose ice cream as a theme? ICE CREAM IS AWESOME! I know it, you know it. Even Vegans and Lactose Intolerant people  know it because non dairy ice cream is always picked over at the health food store!

And like many food products, companies have found a way to geekify this wonderful treat–remember Ninja Turtle Ice Cream Bars?? I remember chasing down the ice cream man when I was a kid, just so I could get my hands on Turtle Ice Cream bars, or Tweety Bird  bars and eat the bubble gum eye balls first! And I’ve later found out that Blue Bunny still makes them! I haven’t been able to find any of them here in Michigan but I did find this website based in Maryland called Circus Ice Cream inc. that offers a delivery service through their website as long as they can get to your  doorstep  in two days! Normally, purchasing Ice Cream over the internet would not sound appealing to me, but I would gladly make an exception for this childhood favorite– and they don’t stop at Tweety Birds–they have Iron Man, Batman, SpongeBob, and lots more!

LASER DINOCAT Cone print by Etsy artist, RAY YOUNG CHU

I had so much fun researching Etsy shops for this week’s treasury. There were so many fun concepts of ice cream and geek themes.  Their work really inspired me to try and combine more creative subject matter into my artwork. Like this print titled: LASER DINOCAT Cone by etsy Artist, Ray Young Chu.  Lasers,  T-rex, a kitten and an ice cream cone are not things you see together too often, that’s what makes it so interesting and fun to look at–and it’s also just plain HILARIOUS.

Oh! and a quick geek/fat girl tip: It’s a skill that takes much practice, but you can  eat an ice cream cone in one hand and play Plants vs. Zombies in the other (I know from experience).

So take some time out of the hot summer heat and cool down as you enjoy the many ways that Etsy sellers have been able to beautifully combine Ice Cream with the Geek scene:
