Quote of the Day: SSWC Authors Edition

misspulga: "What does dread taste like??"

The Vampire: "Dread has a chewy mouthfeel, and has disconcerting, lively acidity on the palate, with an uncomfortably long finish."

Anatomical Home Decor: Thing Hand Candle

After a "Taste Test" on Etsy to see what items match "my taste", one of the results was this awesome candle.  Created by JohnnyBWilde, this paraffin wax candle even oozes red wax "blood" as the wrist burns. Creepy chic!

As a fellow I don't do nails. I find Trekkies interesting.

The original show is really funny.

OPII TIN

This is another EPIC tin for sale on-line. No way I can afford it. :(

Skull / Witch Family

This is such a strange, old photo. I just HAD to share it.

Seven Deadly Sins

Epic Stephen Webster's '7 Deadly Sins' Jewelry.  I think my favourite ring would be Envy.  My favorite pendant would be Anger.

Cyborg Rat for el Presidente

Sculpture métallique by jOh'.

I thought of our esteemed member el Presidente when
I saw this awsome rat skull art by sculptor jOh' so thought
I'd post it for her and everyone else's viewing pleasure.
Kinda reminds me of a Tim Burton character.
I wonder what 'eP' would name him?

Victorian Taxidermy Museum Display

This is my latest Arcane project.
I cannot afford a real Victorian museum display from 1800's Britain, as they are rare and can auction for hundreds, even thousands of dollars.
Instead I decided to craft one myself.
The total cost was less than $120!
Created with:
- Dead tree bark / branch: Scavenged from local park.
- Old brass tray from India: Garage Sale
- Roll of artificial moss: Walmart.
- Taxidermy bats from Java, Indonesia: Online Auction
- Reproduction Victorian tiffany terrarium: Online Auction
