Eric Standley’s paper cut sculptures are breathtaking.
From afar, these pieces look almost like stained glass windows. But upon closer inspection that are layered with intricate patterns of color and form, delicate and gorgeously intertwined.
There is a grace to this work…a flow that makes design seem almost alive.
Goldfield Arts makes beautiful eco-friendly cards, many of which have a lovely vintage design.
What a great alternative to standard Valentines.
Sometimes “there’s a bug in your hair!” isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
While pricey, I admire the craftsmanship on this Emperor Gum Moth Hair Clip.
I have a bizarre habit of considering accessories according to what unusual museum exhibit I’d hypothetically be likely to wear them to…plenty of entomological displays came to mind for this one.

Conjuruer’s Kitchen makes the most majestic macabre morsels I’ve seen.
Yes, this is a cake. They all are.
I find it very interesting…the crossing of gag-worthy subject matter with delicious confections. To eat or not to eat…
The Osteologist’s dream cake:
I was gifted a Conjurer’s Kitchen hand-sculpted white chocolate raven skull by the lovely and talented Tonya Hurley…it’s too beautiful to eat. I keep it on display.

From the artist statement:
I thought faeries lived only in books until they appeared upon my life as vibrant luminous beings. This particular ones are those I call “Borrowers” Mischievous winged spirited water fairies. They love to raid houses when people are not around. They borrow shiny objects and don’t mean to be bad. Borrower fairies have bad memory and forget to give their findings back.
Last night I heard a noise that came from my mom’s antique trinket box.I finally saw them! I catch them playing with my dad’s old watch. I took a picture and they didn’t even noticed.
Hobo Nickels have seen a renewed interest in recent years. In the Great Depression, many hobos worked over nickels, creating folk art. The history goes back earlier, and you can read more here. Today SWS shares the talent of Mr. The Hobo Nickels. What is especially appealing to collectors on a shoestring budget is his affordable plastic replicas, like the three at the bottom.

Madame Macabre Shop has what may be my favorite creepy ornaments. Unlike the standard “spooky” fare, these are actually disconcerting…in a masterfully subtle way.

This is not “creepy” in the monstrous, undead sense, but I would say the effects of meth count (don’t do drugs, kids!).
Check out this brilliantly crafted Breaking Bad Gingerbread RV (smoke out of the top…nice touch)!
