It’s time for another bunch of random stuff 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.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Pinata\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nPi\u00f1ata Anatomy<\/b>
\n
\nThis is apparently by Carmichael Collective<\/a>, although it doesn’t seem to be in the portfolio. I love how the various types of candy have been chosen to mimic appropriate organs.<\/p>\n

The same artist has some other interesting work here<\/a>. (Bonus image: Bondage Pi\u00f1ata<\/a>, found in the comments on BoingBoing where I originally saw this art. Heh.)<\/p>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Fireplace\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nScary Fireplace Surround<\/b>
\n
\nThe cited source on Indulgy is Moberg Gallery<\/a>, but the site doesn’t seem to have a search feature (what kind of site in 2015 doesn’t have a search feature?) and I didn’t feel like trawling hundreds of pages in hopes of stumbling upon it. Whatever. It’s pretty neat, and would look even cooler with flames in its mouth. Who wouldn’t<\/em> want an angry screaming fire-mouthed head in their living room? Nobody, that’s who.
\n<\/p>\n

\"Bat<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nBat Earrings<\/b>
\n
\nThese winsome little bats are apparently by Etsy seller Lovecraft and Co.<\/a> but are no longer in their shop. They’re simple enough that they might be DIY-able with polymer clay.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Mertailor\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nGoth Mermaid<\/b>
\n
\nMertailor<\/a> makes gorgeously realistic-looking mermaid tails and accessories, but I’ve only seen them in jewel tones and pastels before. This mermaid is more in line with the traditional lure-sailors-to-their-doom sea witches of old.<\/p>\n

The photo was done for a magazine feature; you can see other pictures from the same shoot here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Sauron<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nEye of Sauron Fire Pit<\/b>
\n
\nThis bit of awesomeness is by ImagineMetalArt<\/a>, who also did the Viking Ship Fire Pit<\/a> I mentioned in a link dump a while back. It is almost painfully metal.<\/p>\n

(Bonus links, found when I was trying to track the source: The One Ring Firering<\/a> and the Witch King of Angmar Fire Pit<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Skeleton<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nSkeleton Poncho<\/b>
\n
\nThis is sold by Grandin Road<\/a>, whose Halloween merchandise seems to come in two flavors: Gob-smackingly overpriced or reasonably priced but low-quality. At $34 I’m guessing this is the latter. I love the idea, though, and a similar poncho could be replicated with a number of different techniques: Knit, crochet, embroidery, or even fabric paint.<\/p>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Nice<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Nice Things to Whisper When Hugging Someone<\/b>
\n
\nThis made me giggle.<\/p>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Tal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nGhostly Eye Makeup<\/b>
\n
\nI’ve mentioned the amazingly detailed makeup designs of Tal Peleg<\/a> previously. I like this one–entitled “Childhood Fears”–for the clever use of the eyelid as a blanket, and also because everyone needs more ghosts on their face.<\/p>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Halloween<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nHalloween Bathroom Decor<\/b>
\n
\nWhen I am Empress of the Galaxy, my first act will be to put the staff of Pinterest up against the wall for their crimes against meaningful search results. I have no clue where this came from originally, but I love the vintage Halloween theme.<\/p>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Taco<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\nTaco Belle<\/b>
\n
\nOw, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. This wonderfully punny mashup is by AvantGeek<\/a>, who has loads of other fun stuff in her portfolio. (For confused readers in countries where the chain doesn’t exist, Taco Bell<\/a> is a popular fast-food restaurant.)
