If you like vintage Halloween decorations and wish to see that style resurrected on repurposed items, you will LOVE the work of Cali Lee.
The color schemes and style are quite reminiscent of Beistle and other Halloween classic artists.
I like seeing this type of work ON objects…
Embroidery Everywhere has one of the most extensive selections of embroidery design I’ve ever seen in an independent shop.
Whether you seek pretty, cute, geeky or dark and elegant (I *may* be partial to the latter two), there are plenty of wonderful patterns to choose from.
You can choose the background fabric color for all designs as well.

the Rice Hat Samurai has handmade pendants for the geek with fine taste.
Would you care for a Dalek to go with that evening dress?
Perhaps a dash of Star Trek for the discriminating feminine nerd?
And I actually quite like this abstract design as well.
This lovely project was part of an online craft swamp. The request? “Snow White’s heart in a box.”
In the Wicked Forest Matchbox swap, my second partner wanted Snow White’s heart in a box. In the story, the evil queen orders a huntsman to take Snow White deep into the forest, murder her and bring her heart back to the queen. He can’t bring himself to do it and kills a doe instead and presents the queen with the deer’s heart in a beautiful box.
Look at that heart and interior detail! All in a matchbox! Great job, Cackle.
Wow…Eszenyi Gabor’s architectural sculptures are rather amazing.
Strange collages of style and form blend together in these creations (though I do have a predilection for odd angular towers). Perhaps my favorite attribute is that these structures look cobbled together with real materials…a far cry from un-textured architectural models that may be gorgeous but lack a certain “lived in” quality that makes one almost believe an imaginary troupe of tiny builders is responsible.
In addition, they cast shadows which are in and of themselves works of art.

Hello, everyone! I had a phenomenal guest author last week, but I’ve missed it here. What better way to express the maddening frustration of a hiatus (and the fact that my posts might still be light on the verbiage for a while to come) than with these sculptures by Maria Rubinke?
Although I have had health issues for quite sometime, these recent ones have affected my typing AND talking ability so I’ve been…*nudge nudge, wink, wink* tearing my hair out.
Been told in the past that I have a bleeding heart, metaphorically at least…
I didn’t see an artist site with a quick search glance, but see a few more bloody innards of innocence at the Source.
Second Chance Ceramics puts some of my favorite vintage images on mugs and other ceramic household items.
These first two are going on my wish list.
I love how there is usually a compatible image on the inside of the mugs.

There are some interesting jewelry picks over at Moon Raven Designs.
Let’s start with a guillotine pendant:
BRAAAAAAAIN:
Raven feather ring:
And there are a variety of raven/crow/bird skulls to choose from. I’ve always wanted a raven skull pendant (not a real one…of course…but cast in metal is fine).

I just went through Mark James Porter’s entire blog to check out all of his sculptures (plus art and accompanying sketches).
I love his take on popular characters, such as the classic Alice in Wonderland favorites.
Look inside Humpty’s head. There’s knowledge in there!
Oh boy…I’ve found my new favorite cookie designer. Check out these personalized headstone cookies by American Cookie Craft.
There are edible homages to some of my favorite silent classics.
And the black cat that graces my wall (a shirt, and a pair of knee highs).
