Duck! Here’s another bunch of random stuff I’ve found whilst trawling the deeps of the intartubes. A few 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\n\n\n\n\n
\"Dusty<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nWire Trellis<\/b>
\n
\nThis six-foot trellis made from barbed wire is by The Dusty Raven<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Chippendale<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nChinoiserie Cabinet<\/b>
\n
\nThis antique cabinet is by Thomas Chippendale. In the home of my dreams, this houses my wunderkammer<\/i>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Skull<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSkull Combat Boot<\/b>
\n
\nThese are Iron Fist’s “Sugar Hiccup<\/a>” design, also available as heels<\/a>. I initially thought the skulls were made of seed beads, but up close they appear to be sequins. If you’ve got a steady hand the design would be reasonably easy to DIY.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Monster<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Monster Matryoshka<\/b>
\n
\nThese gorgeous things are cast resin, hand-painted by Gravlax?<\/a> (That isn’t a question. The blog name is “Gravlax?”)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Slug\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nCrocheted Slug<\/b>
\n
\nThis cute li’l gastropod is by Lesley Stanfield<\/a>. She also has a snail<\/a> and caterpillar<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Vampire<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nVampire Shoes<\/b>
\n
\nThese are some of the most hilariously over-the-top shoes I’ve ever laid eyes on; extra points for taking “stiletto heel” literally. They’re a custom job by Jitterbug Boy<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Skull<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nLace-back Skull Dress<\/b>
\n
\nAs nearly as I can tell, this is by Premonition Designs<\/a>. It’s available at Amazon<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Maleficent<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nMaleficent Cupcake<\/b>
\n
\nThese dark chocolate cupcakes with raspberry filling are by Sinister Sweetshop<\/a>. There’s a recipe at the link, plus a “raven wings” version of the decoration.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ombre<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nOmbre Nails<\/b>
\n
\nThere’s a tutorial<\/a> for this effect at Style Den.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Skull<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSkull Shawl<\/b>
\n
\nI am heartbroken that there seems to be no pattern or design source for this. The original photo appears to be from a photo shoot done by Russian photographer Dis<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ouija<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nOuija Cake<\/b>
\n
\nThis is a replica of the Parker Brothers’ game board, and since the small print looks hand-lettered I’m going to assume the pictures are also drawn by hand. I like the slightly-3D larger letters and numbers; they appear to be icing or possibly chocolate. They seem to be a little more regular in shape, so they may have been filled in over a template and then placed on the cake when set.<\/p>\n

Country Living has a free download<\/a> of the same design which can be printed onto an edible cake topper (or printed on paper to use for non-cake purposes); the rest of the cakes in the slideshow are also worth browsing. Also check out this roundup<\/a> of ouija cake designs that I found during my search for this cake’s creator.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Shining<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n“The Shining” Manicure<\/b>
\n
\nThe artist<\/a> says that she did this by hand using “a striper brush and a lot of patience.” You can do the same if you are similarly endowed with a small brush and patience. I expect a similar effect could be achieved by gluing down thin printed paper and then embellishing with “blood.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Skull<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSkull Ear Cuff<\/b>
\n
\nThis is available at eBuy9<\/a>. Considering the surprisingly low price I question if it looks this good in reality.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Vampire<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nVampire Nails<\/b>
\n
\nI have no bloody–so to speak–idea where these originally came from. Instead I will point you to Tea & Vampires<\/a>, which has a nice roundup of vampy nail art.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Ceramic<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nCeramic Skull Vases<\/b>
\n
\nThese are by Pottery Barn<\/a>, and are lovely if you have the sort of disposable income that will allow you to drop $100 on a vase. Otherwise, I’m thinking this might be fairly DIY-able with an existing vase, a clay skull, and some paint.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
