As in previous editions, here’s a bunch of images I’ve run across which I want to share but might not be able to 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.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Tea<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n“Poison” Tea Set<\/b>
\n
\nThis was a set called Treacherous Tea Party<\/a> from Etsy shop BurkeHareCo<\/a>. The set has sold, but it’d be possible to DIY something similar with ceramic paint.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Cthulhu<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nCthulhu Cross Stitch<\/b>
\n
\nI tracked this back to Reddit<\/a>, but no information on where the original pattern came from; a few comments indicate that it might be a digital image instead of real cross-stitch<\/del>. Regardless, the pattern is simple enough that it should be easy to replicate.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/b> In the comments, Jay<\/a> says that his wife made this for him, without a pattern. Most awesome.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Ouija<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nOuija Tattoo<\/b>
\n
\nThis is the work of Emmanuel Hele from Martian Arts Tattoo Studio in Portland, OR.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Pentacle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nPentacle Braids<\/b>
\n
\nThis is a scan from a book on Wicca that an acquaintance posted. It’s an interesting hairstyle.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Caution<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nCaution Sign<\/b>
\n
\nI can’t find an original source for this, but it’s certainly good advice.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ghost<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nNorman’s Ghost Show<\/b>
\n
\nThis vintage sideshow attraction was the work of Orton and Spooner<\/a>, major 19th century ride-builders and decorators.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"In<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nIn Case of Zombies<\/b>
\n
\nIf you don’t enlarge, it’s hard to see that on the end it says, “or yard work.” I don’t have an original source for this, but it’s an amusing idea for a garage or garden shed.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"The<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nThe Power of Books<\/b>
\n
\nThis photo series by Mladen Penev<\/a> is wonderfully evocative.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Lovecraft<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nLovecraft’s Secret<\/b>
\n
\nCute little tentacular treasure box. This is by Trolladriel’s Creations<\/a> on Etsy. You can see more photos (and buy the original if you so desire) here<\/a>. Something reasonably similar might be DIY-able with polymer clay and an inexpensive wooden box.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"In<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nVampire Emergency Sign<\/b>
\n
\nThe sign actually says, “Break Off In Case of Sparkly Vampires,” but I think it would be infinitely more amusing to simply have it read, “In Case of Vampires” and let the broken-off stake speak for itself. It’d be reasonably easy to DIY this using a dremel tool on balsa wood (or even styrofoam).\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
