This filigree skull, entitled Crania Anatomica, by Joshua Harker has completely captured my heart.

They are available in different sizes and materials in his online store. I wish I could treat myself to the tiny one at the moment. On the wish list it goes!

Every now and then I get wrapped up in adorable things (hence my recent addition of the YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE CUTE tag). Martin Bregman has a way with sweet, simple design.
A Rumble in the Tummy:
Look at the happy fellows…
If I ever get a mannequin for clothing design, I do believe I will paint some sort of anatomical design on it. here’s an interesting twist on the idea:
PORKTERGEIST!

Muddyskull has the largest selection of handmade skull cake toppers I’ve ever seen.
Perhaps some people reading this blog have had (or would consider having) spooky wedding accessories. There are many to choose from here!
Muddyskull also makes pendants, earrings and cake toppers coupled with ring bearer plates (pictured below). You can tell I’ve never had to plan a wedding because I didn’t even know what a ring bearer plate was!

Sandi Calistro paints lovely girls…and even better, girls with skulls and skeletons.
I rather like the dresses these ladies wear.
So cute…

Oh, how I love this energy efficient Brain Bulb from Solovyov Design.
I would very much like to have one of these in my home (and it would be rather fitting for my future office as well).
Well, this is certainly one of the more interesting headpieces I’ve seen. It comes from On Your Head’s etsy store.
While I’d hesitate to wear this piece…say…to the grocery store or post office, I think it would work quite nicely at some of the more unique events on my list to attend.

Tim Lane’s Memento Mori series is quite interesting.
What a pinata:
He has some nice black and white illustrations as well.

Let’s start with a little faux vintage science, shall we?
Yes. Please.
I think this cat-erpillar is on my craft to-do list now. You can make it move in many kinds of ways.
Just your average post-Easter bunny mass suicide (nice work decorating the seasonal isle, guys):
Best weather forecast ever:
You know it’s spring when the Chevys start blooming again.
Grandfather of the Michelin Man
If the Sears portrait studio offered this, I would totally get in front of a camera.
A quizzical little Max Ernst piece:
Excellent ad:
Love this…
Truly amazing top hat idea:
I’d be reluctant to buy these for the sheer amount of lacing required, but this custom painted pair is quite a work of art.
Cute crafty robot:
Perfect for Halloween season (or anytime, really):
Clock for the guest room, to make folks feel welcome:
Does anyone know the origin story of this ice cream truck?
If you haven’t heard, divorce rings are becoming…a thing, proving once again that no human milestone…however brutal…can’t be commodified.
Nice…
This has come up on a few favorite blogs now…
Exquisite.
Ghostly beautiful…
An amazing collaboration between Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli, circa 1938:
And Jesus rides in on a unicorn to save the day…
Marie Antoinette’s royal beauty regimen was far less time consuming after her loss…
Many artists design accessories with skull prints these days, but Griffin Leather gives us a new twist with these hand crafted skull purses:
I know almost nothing about the process he uses to achieve this effect, aside from the fact that molding and resin are involved.
He has some incredible masks too, like this “blood demon:”
And there are a number of selections for those with a penchant for steampunk.

Just a few pre=Easter treats sitting on my desktop at the moment…
Ah, some evil bunny soap for the guest bathroom:
By Felipe Bedoya (I’ve never seen bunnies look this…high…but they appear to be enjoying their little party):
So deadly…
Just tiptoe away.
Bunny is dressing up his taxidermy human again.
Clock-bellied…but kind of neat:
While we’re on the topic of bellies, why not fashion this bread bowl and let your guests scoop the creamy innards from a poor eviscerated rabbit?
Um…I guess that’s better than human innards adorned with some kind of rabbit bride ensemble.
I’m not sure if I’ve posted this…but it’s amazing.
I would love to see the creature casting this shadow.
Show offs:
As far as kitschy holiday jewelry goes, this may be the finest thing that plastic can offer:
No amount of novelty could make this a good cake idea. One of the best things about cake is that you never have to peel it or bite into bits of shell.
Speaking of cake, here’s one for all of your sheep-rabbit needs:
Now this I could use as a centerpiece:
Perfect felted Easter eggs! Does anyone know the artist?
Adorable black bunny from Violetpie who also does some sweet Halloween creations.
More to come…
