Owl Sweater

Posted in clothing, craft with tags , on June 18, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

I don’t knit (I know, I know…I should learn but I already have so many craft obsessions). Sometimes I do random searches for knit patterns anyway. This came up in a query for “owl sweater.” Excellent pattern…

The design is subtle yet distinct. I wish I could knit it, because the ones I’ve seen for sale are at least $90.

Brains: it’s what’s for dinner.

And speaking of, who thought a grinning peanut grinding his own brain out onto a platter was…a great idea for a product? I envision a young Hannibal Lecter having a lovely time with this. Don’t get me wrong. I’d like one.

I don’t. But I’ve heard the stories.

When a man is asked what is perfectly irresistible I highly doubt “wool mantilla” is the first item that comes to mind (click picture to enlarge).

Halloween Countdown: Dancing Skeleton Shirt Roundup

Posted in anatomy, clothing, craft, halloween, image odyssey, undead with tags , , , , , on October 20, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Pinterest inspired me to do a search for dancing skeleton shirts. I do believe my wardrobe should contain one to display my enthusiasm for the Halloween season (though I’d wear it all year).

Here are some I came across…

Do you like any of these?

Ugly Christmas sweaters have become a hip little party craze these days. But what about Halloween sweaters? Turns out there are many fine selections to choose from out there.

Akumu Ink

Posted in art, clothing, craft, undead, wish list with tags , , , , on September 21, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Akumu Ink is a two person business that prints original cute ‘n sinister shirt designs.

I like this traveler, since it’s kind of subtle…for a skeleton on an old fashioned bicycle.

Mad Hatter…

Deaths Head moths…always interesting.

I want to go here. So badly.

Anyone know the artist for this?

I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.

This woman, too…

A child destined for greatness.

I really want this game!

Bats and cats…oh my.

Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:

And another:

I would absolutely read this one.

Another incredible title.

Does anyone have this? I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I’m curious and intrigued.

The first? Great detective work, Dr. Donohue.

I never knew a mortuary could be so exciting.

“Man describes his sensations while slowly roasting to death”

Rather beautiful antique illustration:

Indication of slightly skewed priorities (read the fine print…she’s upset about her hair).

It may feel like slight indigestion at first, but…

Anyone know where this anthropomorphic poison comes from?

Brilliant!

Serenade…

Lovely death and (a) maiden.

Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.

Heaven?

Hell?

For the ladies…

I don’t think this ended well.

The end.

Big Brother Little Brother Shirts

Posted in clothing, craft, geek, science, wish list with tags , , , , on July 3, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I just want to share two shirts I enjoy from the delightfully geeky Big Brother Little Brother Shirts

I’m always partial to atomic particles.

And even though I’m arguably a little old for this shirt…I’d still rock it.

See more creations here.

Klaus Haapaniemi

Posted in clothing, fashion, wish list with tags , , on June 10, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

If you hadn’t guessed, I’m not a huge wearer of bright colors (it happens, but it’s usually somehow layered with dark things)…however, these bat & flower silk scarves by Klaus Haapaniemi are wonderful:

I’ve always loved the idea of half-hidden darkness or unconventionality. An unsuspecting onlooker would have to look closely to see the bats…but I’d know they’re there.

There are also spider patterns for the arachnid-inclined.

These are giving me craft ideas. I bet some fantastic embroidery creations could emerge with the mingling of bats and flowers.

Movie Monster Aprons

Posted in clothing, craft, monsters, wish list with tags , , , on May 28, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

If anyone knows where I can purchase one of these for a reasonable price…do tell (or I shall have to make one, because at first glance I uttered “Get in my kitchen!”

They appear to be sold out on Etsy and most other sites do not source the sellers. But I’d sure love a monster apron…
