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

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!

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

I read and appreciate all comments. Apologies for not being able to respond at the moment.
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.

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.

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:

I have to give steampunk credit where steampunk credit is due. These are some fine dice, by Mechanical Oddities.
Also available in iron finish.
This is one of the greatest charity projects I’ve ever seen! Combine unique art, one of my favorite subjects AND one of my favorite organizations (St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital) and you get the “IT’S ALIVE!” Project.
The “Its Alive” Project celebrates eight decades of the Frankenstein Monster by presenting 80 re-imagined Life Size Boris Karloff Frankenstein Busts. Each of the 80 artists have been asked to recreate the monster in their own vision, style and hand.
See the amazing collection for sale here.
Read a brief excerpt on the St. Jude mission (and see why I love them!).
