30 Not-So-Practical Accessories And Items By Gab Bois That Are Guaranteed To Catch Your Eye (New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Meet Gab Bois, a Montreal-based artist who has conquered the internet with her surreal fashion and household items. She uses random everyday things to make unique pieces that might not be very practical but are guaranteed to catch your eye.
“I was always into fashion, especially DIY fashion, even as a kid. I would help my mom remove the leaves from the corn cobs and then we would use them to make doll dresses. I’d also make flower necklaces for the neighborhood cats during my free time, little things like that. Being an only child and playing by myself, I was put into a position where I had to find ways to keep myself occupied, and I developed a huge interest in doing little crafts, so I can say a part of the work I do now still comes from that childhood interest and curiosity,” the artist told Bored Panda in a previous interview.
Scroll down to check out Bois' artistic creations in the list below. Don't forget to upvote your favorite designs and share your thoughts in the comments!

I would love this, but the only condiment I have is ketchup lol
Bored Panda got in touch with Gab Bois again to learn more about her creative process and herself. Looking at all the unique pieces, we were curious to know how the artist chooses the materials for her creations. "What I love about my work is that each project is a unique problem that I have to solve," she shared. "Each concept comes with its own questions; Will it be permanent or temporary? Will it be worn? Will it be photographed or used in a space? The materials then have to adapt to these needs to create a successful piece."

Bois told us that her favorite part of the process is usually the start: "brainstorming and letting my mind come up with all sorts of ideas. After having chosen a concept, I really enjoy the production process. Seeing my abstract idea take shape and become a real-life object never gets old."

why is this Practical? I think it looks great. Most of the things in this list should not be here.

I have a pair of boots that have a hidden zip pocket just below the ankle. Handy to keep an emergency £10 note in on a night out if you lose your purse and need taxi fare 🙂
Gab Bois explores the bizarre side of ordinary items, with a focus on everyday things like food, technology, and fashion. We asked her where she gets inspiration for her works. "I like to stay up-to-date with trends by consuming lots of online content and other media such as magazines and movies," she replied. "By keeping in touch with current themes and styles, I can subvert them in my own way. I also try to spend time in places that inspire me like grocery stores or flea markets. These spaces of complete order or chaos are rich with inspiration. It is like a scavenger hunt where I forage for ideas and materials."

You know how hard they’d be to clean. Think about what socks look like, just walking around the house. Now walk with them outside.

so you wear your shoes under the socks or do they have solid heals built in. If so how do you wash them? This is the first one on the list that is truly to theme and not Practical.

Slightly less risk of a twisted ankle than those idiotic heel thongs (flip flops, jandals) in the 2000s

I like what’s happening with the bottom bit but then the stripes make them actually look like socks

This is actually so pretty! May not be the most practical though…
"My work is endlessly fulfilling as I get to do what I spent my childhood doing: playing and creating. I would build hotels for the neighborhood cats or feasts for the garden snails, ceaselessly finding inspiration in my own backyard. Being able to continue this childhood whimsy as an adult feels like I am living a beautiful forever dream!"

Looks like they're make out of kitty litter... and not all the clean kind

OK these belong here. If they are really sand they would be very uncomfortable

This is probably the only one I like so far, given the time, effort, and relative modesty put into the design!

Would be a nice food presentation in restaurants, much better than the c**p of serving food in shoes, shovels and such, which seems to be hot nowadays.

I think this is a good way to reuse a damaged pair of binoculars, for example if the lenses were damaged.
