I was watching a Phosphene video, and spotted one of these on the lead guitar player. I had to find out what it was. It is the Executioner #2 by Monson Guitars, is completely handmade, and starts at $1,499. Yes, those are bat inlays.
Here it is in the hands of Phosphene’s guitarist:
That’s not an ax. That’s an ax.
If I were rich, I would fill the house from this shop.
I posted a ring from Jamie’s shop last week, but she deserved a bigger post.
If you like the spider ring, you might like the cuff or the necklace:
She has garden spiders with several different stones.
I love spiders, but I’m also nuts about beetles:
This ring would make a great impression…in a fight.
Finally, simpler than her other work, this cage cuff looks all Mad Max:
Because every once in a while, you have to search Etsy for spider rings, right?
Horribell likes spikes and bats and skulls and things. Here are some of my faves:
Red Teardrop Spike Necklace
Silver Bat Wing Earrings
Gunmetal Bat Ring
Wolf Skull Necklace
Weirdplush has a lot of nifty things, but I like their soaps the best. Especially the little Cthulhu.
Tanzanite Swarovski Crystal Choker
Amethyst Swarovski Bracelet Cuff
Red Swarovski Ring
Silver Ring Bracelent
Red Gothic Choker
By sheer coincidence, I am wearing a Bella Lily piece as I post this. They are even lovelier in person.
Black Spinel Silver Hammered Cuff
Stella Luna
Petite Kill Joy
Brimstone Nursery Abomination #31
I want everything here.
Most of the shop is hand-painted creepy pillows. And then there’s this. I want to see Nursery Abominations 1-30.
Do you have a tarot enthusiast on your list? I used to collect, and have been considering doing so again, because the art is fantastic. I used to read, but my growing skepticism finally made me uncomfortable with the practice. I still have the same deck I started with 35 years ago.
For your delectation, here are some lovely decks.
Lowbrow Tarot
The Lowbrow Tarot only includes the major arcana, but that’s 22 works by folks like Kris Kuksi and Molly Crabapple. Delish.
Shadowscapes Tarot
Stephanie Pui-Min Law is one of my favorite artists, and collecting her tarot deck is at the top of my list.
Gothic Tarot
I found the Gothic Tarot on Midnight Syndicate‘s site when I was buying their new Christmas disk. Joseph Varga’s art is classic Gothic monsters and mayhem.
Penny Dreadful Tarot
These are the cards that inspired this post. I was watching the show, and greatly admired the simple, beautiful designs by Anaïs Chareyre.
Choose your deck, and find out if your days will be merry and bright…or not.
