\"Bat<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nBat Vase<\/b>
\n
\nGorgeous vintage vase. According to this site<\/a>, it was made by Amphora Bohemia circa 1905.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Frankenstein<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nFrankenstein Chest of Drawers<\/b>
\n
\nThis is pretty clearly from Spitfire Interiors<\/a>, a site which is definitely up our collective alley. They have a similar piece<\/a> on the site with awesome spider drawer pulls.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Chocolate<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nChocolate Gems<\/b>
\n
\nGreat idea from p.s. I made this<\/a> for making faux gemstones from chocolate and edible glitter.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Spider<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSpiderweb Makeup<\/b>
\n
\nLovely effect done by Malicious Makeup<\/a> on deviantART. The same artist has lots of other interesting designs too.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ghost<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSpooky Christmas Tree<\/b>
\n
\nThis thing is all over Pinterest and Tumblr but I can’t find an original source anywhere. It’d be pretty easy to DIY; it appears to mostly be cheesecloth, possibly with some tulle used for the arms and hood. The face is one of those plastic masks from Scream<\/i>.* Drape it over a white Christmas tree and add plastic prop manacles.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Lamp\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nGhostly Lantern<\/b>
\n
\nI was hoping this was actually a Halloween decoration, but instead it’s a digital image<\/a>. However, it might be possible to do something fairly similar by cutting the little hands out of black craft acetate. It’d be a wonderfully subtle decoration.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ouija<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nOuija Table<\/b>
\n
\nI not only found the source for this, it even includes a tutorial<\/a> complete with pattern. The pattern could obviously be resized to fit something smaller like a side table.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Raven<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nRaven Ring<\/b>
\n
\nThis is part of a collection called “Mysteries of the Forest<\/a>” by Bjorg Jewelry. Their shop doesn’t seem to list it right now, although there’s a three-ring version<\/a>.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Wire<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nWire Spiderweb<\/b>
\n
\nThis cute little corner web is offered on Etsy by The Dusty Raven<\/a> (who also makes lots of other interesting wire sculptures). It’s made from twisted barbed wire, but something similar might by DIY’d using floral wire.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Skull<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSkull Tea Set<\/b>
\n
\nThe only thing I could find about about this is that it’s made in Germany and was sold by WickedLiquid.com, but that domain is currently parked and probably defunct. Phooey.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

*Funny story, apropos of nothing: When I first married Shadow Jack I moved into his condo, and late one evening I was unpacking boxes. He was working late, so I was alone. I was listening to a documentary about forensic pathology, and they were recounting a rather gruesome murder. A couple of books fell behind a desk, I reached back blindly to retrieve them, felt something soft, and pulled out…the mask from Scream<\/i>. His nephew had been the Scream guy a couple of Halloweens previously, and at some point the mask and some other random Halloween faff had fallen down behind the desk. Where I, alone in a dark house and listening to murder details, found it. Had it been broad daylight I assume I would have said something more coherent than, “Guk.” As it was I nearly pissed myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
