Okay, immediate bonus points for the name. Quantum Creative Glass has some amazing glass blown creatures.
The cephalopods are fabulous…
And you’ll find some intriguing land-roaming species, too.

With two new kittens in the house (who have completely dominated my heart and attention since they arrived 4 days ago), I realized it’s never too early to educate them on important topics.
This collar…perfection.
Yes, these are real pamphlets, available here.
This post is dedicated to my boy Dr. Morbius (after Forbidden Planet, as opposed to Marvel comics Dr. Michael Morbius…I can’t believe I’m geeky enough to specify that distinction) and my little lady, Ms. Nimbus.
Lest you had any doubt that I’m totally out of my mind, their FULL names are Dr. Morbius Doodles and Ms. Nimbus Biscuit. All I can say is…you’d get it if you met them. I promise.

Why do I call it THE Cat Dress? Because once you’ve seen it, all other cat dresses don’t seem quite catty enough.
Some fine craftsmanship, eh? This stunner debuted at CatCon LA (Yes, that’s a thing. No, I haven’t gone. Yes, I absolutely would.)

I received a link to this short film from a loved one last night with the introduction: I know you’re not a huge fan of CGI, but seeing this I think you’ll agree that it’s been put to some pretty good use.
Oh, INDEED IT HAS! I’m generally opposed to elaborate CGI that is used as a crutch to compensate for lackluster storytelling and character development.
High-diving giraffes, however, are clearly what this medium was truly invented for.
Can we just pretend this is exactly what happens in public swimming pools, after hours?
Thank you, GD!

Julie Alice Chappell describes herself as “Portsmouth Artist/Painter/Photographer/Creator of miniature worlds and subversive taxonomies exploring themes around the exploitation of nature.”
These gorgeous creatures are made of old Nintendo consoles! (Hopefully broken ones…I love the idea of re-purposing).

WHY don’t more buses look like this? It’s such a missed opportunity NOT to paint giant teeth on all of them.
I’m sure this valid excuse resulted in instant exoneration:
Yeah, but the Wild Germ has anger issues…
One must look at the tagline and consider whether it is really the kind of attention ones wants.
What has she seen?
…Perhaps Karloff’s carload of arsenic?
If I ever get to space, I’m traveling via giant, helmet-clad intergalactic puppy.
A very touching piece of street art.
AS fellow fans of The IT Crowd know, two is the best number of eyes.
Yep.
The sweet, pink title image is excellent with a cat that looks exceedingly unamused.

I love Caitlin McCormack’s crocheted creatures!
Some appear to me made from vintage doilies. Such an unlikely craft material for this subject matter, and I think it works.
The stray strings add to these pieces, as if they impart a kind of natural disarray or decomposition. Beautiful.

If it has “oddities” in the title, there’s a good chance I’ll go down a massive rabbit hole exploring it. Thus, Oddities Store was an enjoyable find indeed.
I desperately need these:
They have bisected animals…
Bell jar skulls of all sorts…
Fish sticks (literally):
Diaphonized beauties:
Skulls on plaques:
Lovely shadow boxes:
And…Lung Salve!
Browse the rest of the collections at the Oddities Store.

Yep, these are real birds…
…not Tribbles with eyes.
I wanted so much to believe this is an actual album, but sadly I don’t see it on Amazon or YouTube.
Now THIS is music! I can almost hear their sweet, fruity harmonizing.
1926 skull clock created by the German Oswald clockmaking workshop. They eyes rotate to tell the time.
For maximum safety, place your child in a crib that appears to be a cross between a glass coffin and what magicians use to saw people in half.
A unique abduction? Eye don’t know.
MONSTER SOUP OF THE THAMES!
Never neglect your bowels.
I wish this were part of a large “Things to Do With a Giant Head” photo collection. There are two fine suggestions here:
The Shadow is a force, indeed.
The challenges we rarely think of…

How NOT to decorate your lobster. I call this Stairway to Hell.
Gorgeous carving work.
Enchanting…
Intriguing…
If only humans could leave behind the tangible structure of their own transformations to look back on.
I love how one happy consumer claims that a tablet of soap whittled her waist from 62 to 48 inches.
But some old ads EMBRACED a little junk in the trunk (how anyone thought the name “CHUBETTES” was a winner for a clothing line, I do not know).
Tick tock…
Adorable little skelly and her pet!
This is amazing in so many ways. Was this mushroom an official mascot of some sort, or just a damn fine costume?
This looks like something a child would paint in art class.
Everybody dance now!
Best search query of the week: “Why is Nicholas Cage on the cover of a Serbian Biology textbook?”
