Still More Stuff I Found While Looking Around
It’s time for another bunch of random stuff I’ve found which I want to share but can’t hang a whole post on. Some of them have no attribution, so if you happen to know the source for any of these please leave a note in the comments. (Click to view larger.)

Bats These squee-worthy bat sculptures are by artist Jessica Joslin. She has loads of other lovely critters in her gallery. (The bones she uses are either replica or ethically sourced.) |
|
Caesar Knife Block I was hoping this was an actual perfect-for-the-Ides-of-March product, but it seems to just be a ‘shopped version of this bust. (via pdq) |

Spiderweb Lamp No idea where this is from originally; there’s a similar image here, but it appears to be used as a placeholder for illustrative purposes. It’d be easy to make something similar; the simplest way would be to use spray adhesive on an existing lampshade and cover it with spooky paper. If you’d rather make your own, google “how to make a lampshade” to get lots of tutorials like this one. |
|
Skull Measuring Spoons These were a seasonal item at World Market, but don’t seem to be available now. Sigh. |
|
Nightmare Before Christmas Mobile All roads lead to Pinterest on this one, so I can’t credit an original source. The tentacle looks like painted plywood; I like how it’s hinged so it can swing back out of the way. The little hanging characters appear to be this set of plush figures. (via Tanya) |
|
Goth Steampunk Cake I don’t want to eat this thing as much as wear it. It’s by Sweetlake Cakes, and there are several other lovely cake photos as well. |
|
Octopus Chatelaine This gorgeous silver chatelaine is in the colleciton of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Collectors Weekly has a good article on the history of chatelaines. |
|
Skull Computer Mouse This functional mouse was made from a sheep skull by Ivan Mavrović. Be sure to check out the rest of his site for all kinds of steampunky designs. |
|
Spider Bedding Set This screen-printed duvet and pillow shams would be perfect for a guest room. They seem to have previously been available through Etsy but aren’t there now. There’s a listing for them on Wanelo, but they require registration to use their site so I don’t know if the item is actually still available. |

Bizarro This just made me giggle. |

The Caesar knife block made me spit crumbs!

That’s not just Cæsar, that’s Asterix and Obelix Cæsar!!
The great thing about me and food is that I’ve never had to choose between eating something and wearing it.
I am flabbergasted that Victorian women carried vinaigrette with them!

Ceasar made me laugh
