I’ve seen (and made) some sci-fi themed pendants in my day, but I’m totally floored by this alien fossil pendant by IMNIUM.
Seriously amazing craftsmanship! See other creations here.

Posted in anatomy, craft, fashion with tags anatomy, craft, fashion on May 3, 2012 by shewalkssoftlyWell, 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.

Vanessie Art Dolls
Posted in craft, dolls, taxidermy with tags craft, dolls, taxidermy on April 18, 2012 by shewalkssoftlyVanessie Art Dolls are the work of the talented Esther Verschoor.
The dolls and outfits are hand crafted from a wide variety of materials. And all real skulls are from animals who have died of natural causes (never killed for food, fur or human use).
As if the costumes weren’t brilliantly detailed enough, many of the dolls are actually sporting lacy underwear and stockings beneath!
Some figures are placed within sculptures or scenes…
Fans of interesting taxidermy and Gothic/Victorian fashion will love these pieces.
There are so many lovely things to look at in the Vanessie galleries. Have a look!

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…
Griffin Leather
Posted in anatomy, craft, fashion, steampunk with tags anatomy, craft, fashion, steampunk on April 13, 2012 by shewalkssoftlyMany 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.

Bunny-ish?

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:
