Artist Elizabeth McGrath takes little cleavers,* hand-paints them, tarts them up with fake rust and glitter dust, and presents them in a pretty box. She offers a range of designs, from anatomically-correct hearts (which can be personalized!) to freaky little bats with crystal eyes. For $25, it’s a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n
The cleavers are small–just 4″–so they could be displayed on a desk or mantel without trouble. It also occurs to me that a bunch of these would be an arresting set of ornaments for a Christmas tree. But maybe that’s just me.<\/p>\n
