The Wedding Link Dump
Knitting Wizardry – Book of knitting projects with a “magic” theme.
Plush Valentine’s Day Stegosaurus – Who wouldn’t want a stegosaurus for Valentine’s Day? Nobody interesting, that’s for sure.
Natura Morta – Photographer Maria Ionova-Gribina takes lovely photos of dead animals surrounded by flowers.
Why Amelia Bedelia is Literally the Most Terrifying Character Ever – I’ve always assumed there was a lost first book entitled, “Amelia Bedelia and the Frontal Lobotomy,” but this works too.
Night Vale Girl Scout – Great cosplay of a girl scout from the fictional troop in Welcome to Night Vale.
H.P. Lovecraft Beers – Narragansett Brewery is releasing a line of Lovecraft-themed beers. (via Shellhawk)
Lana Crooks – Artist who makes lovely, macabre anatomical sculptures from felted wool. The Death’s Head moth is especially striking. (via Cat)
How to Make Cuneiform Tablet Cookies – For the archaeology buff on your gift list.
Urban Druid – There’s a whole potential post-apocalyptic backstory here. It’d be an unusual cosplay idea or an addition to an RPG milieu.
Is That a Spider on Your Dress or Are You Happy to See Me? – I’m not sure this is an either/or question. Really interesting concept dress featuring a robotic spider. (Hat tip to cookie)

The first link reminds me of when I was teaching my roommate to sew and told her that, for a particular Thing, we needed stitch witchery. She didn’t believe me that that’s what it was actually called.
These “still deaths” are simply beautiful. Unfortunately, however, they remind me of being behind someone on a road when I saw, in a curve up ahead, a still squirrel. The truck in front of me swerved so that its left tyres ran over it. I was horrified that such people existed. I’m glad that there is balance.
I remember reading Amelia Bedelia as a kid and thinking “is there anyone young enough to read this?!”
Someone should start the Night Vale Girl Scouts.
I 100% read this as “H.P. Lovecraft Bees”.
I was kinda hoping that first photo was one of the cookies. Am disappoint. Surely there is a ceramic tool that will give you appropriately cuneiformy shapes and then you can just go to town with your tiny tiny edicts.
So: the way I usually read these is that I will read the first link, apple-click while reading the description, and then apple-click the second link, often forgetting to read the description. This generally works for me, but then suddenly, I’m staring into the dead, dead eyes of the Urban Druid and wondering what has gone wrong in my life.
It’s not a dress so much as a corset but, yeah: I want it.
