The Art of Darkness

Dances with Link Dumps

April 2nd, 2010 by Cobwebs

AnĂ©is Alice: surpreendentes – These Brazilian rings celebrating the new Alice movie are just gorgeous. I especially love the mushroom one.

The Internets – There’s a “ghost in the machine” joke in here somewhere.

Wild Boars – I think the caption should read, “And then they ate him.”

Things and Places Inspired by Coffins – A roundup from Oddee. I’ve blogged about a few of these before (and we sell the coffin purse).

Entomologia – Images from a gallery show featuring art made with preserved insects.

These Bones for Hire – I love this “noir” painting by Bonni Reid.

Tree Railing – There’s no information on what material these “trees” are made of, but they’re certainly a unique replacement for stair railings. (Hat tip to Kitten Herder)

The Loving Dead – In the runup to print publication, writer Amelia Beamer is serializing her novel about “sex and zombies” online.

Doll Clothing Throw Pillows

April 1st, 2010 by Cobwebs

Decorative PillowZakka Life posted these instructions for making super-easy throw pillows decorated with doll clothes: It’s really nothing more than tacking the clothes to the pillow with a running stitch.

Given the variety of doll clothes available, it would be easy to make some wonderfully gothy pillows using the same technique. Make or purchase throw pillows in dark brocades or other luxurious fabrics and look for doll-sized ball gowns, Halloween costumes, or naughty underwear to stitch to the front. It could hardly be easier.

A set of pillows like this would also make an unusual gift, particularly if they followed a theme (nurse, witch, etc.) that was meaningful to the recipient.
