Oh, how I love this energy efficient Brain Bulb from Solovyov Design.
I would very much like to have one of these in my home (and it would be rather fitting for my future office as well).

Well, 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.
See more designs here.

Tim Lane’s Memento Mori series is quite interesting.
What a pinata:
He has some nice black and white illustrations as well.

Let’s start with a little faux vintage science, shall we?
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…

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 few pre=Easter treats sitting on my desktop at the moment…
Ah, some evil bunny soap for the guest bathroom:
By Felipe Bedoya (I’ve never seen bunnies look this…high…but they appear to be enjoying their little party):
So deadly…
Just tiptoe away.
Bunny is dressing up his taxidermy human again.
Clock-bellied…but kind of neat:
While we’re on the topic of bellies, why not fashion this bread bowl and let your guests scoop the creamy innards from a poor eviscerated rabbit?
Um…I guess that’s better than human innards adorned with some kind of rabbit bride ensemble.
I’m not sure if I’ve posted this…but it’s amazing.
I would love to see the creature casting this shadow.
Show offs:
As far as kitschy holiday jewelry goes, this may be the finest thing that plastic can offer:
No amount of novelty could make this a good cake idea. One of the best things about cake is that you never have to peel it or bite into bits of shell.
Speaking of cake, here’s one for all of your sheep-rabbit needs:
Now this I could use as a centerpiece:
Perfect felted Easter eggs! Does anyone know the artist?
Adorable black bunny from Violetpie who also does some sweet Halloween creations.
More to come…

The William K. Bass Center for Forensic Observation is one of the largest collections of skeletal remains in the modern world. It has been invaluable for research in the field of forensic anthropology.
Behind the University of Tennessee, a little outside of Knoxville, there’s a 2.5 acre plot of land surrounded by a razor wire fence. This is the body farm, where forensic scientists and researchers learn about human decomposition. When William K. Bass first opened his center to study human remains in 1981, he had one dead body and a 16 square foot cage. By 2007, the farm had over 150 decaying specimen – many donated to the farm by interested volunteers.
You can see a short three part video in which the founder discusses the facility here

Jezebel Charms has a wonderful collection of cuff bracelets. The subject matter is fantastic (for my personal taste anyway).
These make me wish my wrists weren’t too freakishly small for all standard bracelets.
A Sherlock Holmes inspired piece! Oh how I’d love to wear this!
Skeletons…always a favorite:
There are also many literary quotes featuring classic authors. Great stuff! (Thanks for the link, Maya!)

Maskull Lasserre carved a beautiful skull from obsolete computer manuals.
Sometimes I’m conflicted about book sculptures because I love printed literature…but outdated computer instruction is the perfect item for this type of work!
