If you're a fan of Tim Burton, you're going to like the digital prints from Ayo Soluade. The drawings are dark and creepy and a bit mesmerizing. Soluade uses color too, but it comes off cold and a bit off-kilter. I like it. The shop is AyoSoluade88 . Halloween Nightfall Eerie Cemetery Merry Halloween The Beautifully Chaotic The Wolf Man Lady Mad Hatter Scarecrow These pieces are so interesting to look at. I haven't even shown you the Burton fan art which features lots of your favorite characters. Try to take a look at the shop today.

There is something about wearing a piece of jewelry that has weight to it that I find comforting- unless it's swinging around my neck and constantly hitting my desk and I hurl it off, but I digress. I do like holding metal and gems in my hand and feeling the power emanating from it. Maybe I'm an earth witch? Maybe I'm on the spectrum? Who knows. I'm confident in one thing- I love the jewelry from Pieces of Jayde designed by Jayde McAloon. Skeleton Hand on Crystal Quartz Pendant Black Kyanite Crystal Witch Broom Necklaces Deaths Head Moth Pendant Porcelain Hand & Crystals Necklace Carved Skull Ring Oak Leaf with Third Eye Necklace All of McAloon's pieces are this gorgeous. You need to check out the shop.

I could swear I've featured the illustrations of Elyssa Long on this blog, but I'm damned if I can find the post.  Maybe I haven't? Well, it's your gain then because Long's prints are magical. She offers limited edition, Gliclée, and digital prints - something for every budget. The shop is Print Is Dead. Limited Edition Skeleton Hand & Bird Risograph Print Glicée Print of Snake and Flowers Palmistry Lino Print Death's Head Moth Lino Print Plague Doctor Digital Print Bleeding Heart Valentine Card I failed to mention that there are also cards, pocket mirrors, pins, and even a few t-shirts in the shop. There, now you know.

ArtKvarta is an artisan collective in Estonia making stained glass jewelry. The designs have a very modern look, but many of the pieces echo the dark world that we love so much. I like the streamlined look. It's easy to overdo the baroque and gothic look. Stained Glass Pumpkin Necklaces Evil Eye Necklaces Moon Phase Necklace Spider Necklaces Black Spider Earrings Moon Rings You need to check out the full range of pieces in this shop. I love so many of them!

I thought you might like to see the delicate skeleton art by Kerryn at Sewn to Death . The skeletons are elegantly displayed in frames to hang on your goth walls. Kerryn includes some other oddities in her shop that may appeal to you as well. Bat Skeleton in Ornate Goth Frame Bat Skeleton with Open Wings Frog Skeleton in Frame Snake Skeleton in Glass Case Framed Lizard (real) Taxidermy Bat in Frame Simply gorgeous. Isn't nature beautiful?
