JennyMonkey is an old friend from Portland, Oregon. She used to sell mostly craft supplies, especially stuff for letterboxers. I recently checked out her shop again, and she has gone in an entirely different direction.

Jesse Fowler Bakelite Bangle, $196

While her shop is mostly not spooky, it has lovely stuff. Jenny has carefully curated a collection of hand-made jewelry from small shops.

Skeleton Hand Earrings, $14

Owl Hair Clip, $17

She still has stuff up on her Ebay shop, including a couple vintage postcards. It’s possible I couldn’t resist bidding on this one (even though I totally shouldn’t):

Jenny is a great person with superb taste, and I’ll be keeping an eye out here.

Cobra Skeleton Ring, $18

Cora

I couldn’t find out much more than she lives in Barcelona, but she does have an updated Instagram.  Oh, and she makes postcard sets, and I think I have to get some:

Postcards. Want.

 

Spooky Links, 27 July

Posted in: Link Dumps of Doom.

This Sunday, I have my monthly meeting with the local haunters group. It’s supposed to be the last meeting before the haunt season begins, but I think we’re already there. My social media is starting to flood with prop-building posts. The Halloween boards are already full of “when do you start decorating?”

My Halloween will be small-scale this year. We will likely be in the middle of moving house, so I’m hardly going to build for a yard I’ve never seen. I do plan on making things for a Month of Spookdays. I’ve been doing a lot of portraits lately for a sekrit project. Perhaps for October I will paint something monstrous.

I kinda want to try this. Via Art of Darkness.

Scorpion Pie from Eat the Dead. Possibly also via Art of Darkness? Don’t remember, and didn’t put it in the right folder.

Hallmark Keepsake ornaments for 2018

Magma Mandrake Specimen Box from Burned Raven Tales. They also have curio boxes, which is a wonderful concept. I may have to make one.

Miss Havisham’s Curiosities carries all sorts of unusual teacups. I encourage a browse.

Dominic Qwek is a California artist who creates sf sculpts. The shop is small, so I’m going to post a couple things from the gallery as well.
