The Art of Darkness

Four Weddings and a Link Dump

March 15th, 2013 by Cobwebs

Corseted Leather Top Hat Tutorial – This is gorgeous.

New Haunted Mansion Merchandise – Some nice HM-themed items. I particularly like the candelabra.

How to Fix a Bad Tattoo – :::giggle:::

Steampunk Icarus Wings – Expensive, but certainly lovely. An interesting DIY project if you’re good with woodworking.

8 Marvelous Miniatures – A roundup of offbeat miniatures. I love the li’l whorehouse. (Hat tip to Terri)

Insect Poop Tea – Man, I thought kopi luwak coffee was a bad idea.

Ammonite Fossil Skull – On the one hand, it’s a pity they carved up such a pretty fossil. On the other hand, it’s certainly a striking sculpture.

A Calendar of Tales – New, free short stories from Neil Gaiman.

British Museum Blog – I didn’t know the British Museum had a blog. There’s all kinds of neat stuff.

Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails – Interesting compendium of old-time mixed drinks and their history. This would be a fabulous resource for a period-themed cocktail party. (Hat tip to Kitten Herder)

    I am in love with all those Haunted Mansion designs! Thanks for the heads-up!

    The ammonite skull is crazy! Insect poo tea made me laugh, the steampunk wings are amazing, and thanks for including the minis link!

    In that little miniature scene of San Francisco, some of the bay windows have cereal box advertising on them, which is weird. I’m assuming the actual houses don’t have advertising across the front of them?

    As for the skull, while they’re not all over the place like flies, ammonites are common enough that carving a few up to make jewellery isn’t really an issue.

    LOVE that cocktail book, btw. It’s going on my list of books to buy once I’ve finished a few that I already own. So I should own it by about 2020 :P
