Ready for the best grill you’ve seen in a good long while?

From the source:
Ryazan Deulino’s amazing 4-ton locomotive barbecue pit has three bays and a brick-lined furnace. Some of the controls in the cab are functional, too! The wheel turns the rotating spit. All aboard!

Art Donovan Lamps

Donovan Design has come out with a series of wonderful steampunk lamps. As many of you know, I am loathe to use the term steampunk, but will always give credit where credit is due in terms of fine craftsmanship.

I can’t help liking certain aesthetics of the subculture I can’t entirely get behind. Story of my life, as a kaleidoscope of selected subcultural pieces!

Steampunk-Lamps-5

I wouldn’t mind a few of these beauties gracing my home in various places (“wouldn’t mind” is quite an extreme understatement).

Ransom & Mitchell’s website is bound to have you turning over every rock looking for morsels. Their surreal and ofttimes macabre portraits are exquisitely staged nightmares. Perfection.

I am just floored by the custom water globes by Camryn Forrest Designs. Look at the details on these! The names–the concepts. Well done!

Halloween Countdown: Labyrinth Creations

Posted in craft, halloween, monsters, sculpture, steampunk with tags , , , , on October 4, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

It was this sculpture, entitled “Blood Donor” that drew me into Labyrinth Creations:

But there is some unique Halloween fare in the collection, worth checking out.

Griffin Leather

Posted in anatomy, craft, fashion, steampunk with tags , , , on April 13, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

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 small dose of pure evil here.

By Albrecht Dürer:

Another public display:

Now THIS is a rabbit installation (there was no source so I don’t know where it’s located):

Love this girl’s work (link on photo):

Bunny-ish?

By the wonderful Femke Hiemstra:

Yes!

Ghost Girl inspired eggs, done by Lauren Nemchik (thanks to the talented Tonya Hurley for sharing these!):

Steampunk egg:

Wow…this one has a little “stage” too!

Rather pretty…

Not the most elaborate Peeps diorama I’ve seen, but it gets major bonus points for the subject and wordplay:

Kitschy chickadees:

Fabulous vintage Easter hat featuring what seems to be…a colorful Shih Tzu:

Classic Easter parade gear:

This makes me sad. I highly doubt this feline felt “deprived of a proper Easter egg hunt” before being forced into this hideous torture hat.

And for the Alien fans out there:

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. If you feel like some blast from the past posts, check these out:
