Shivers of Delight

This week I'm posting just once with a collage of artists who have created a piece that reminds me of winter and witches. For the next few months or so, I'll just be posting to the blog on Mondays, but you can see the artists I've chosen for the week daily through my  Facebook and Instagram accounts. You choose if you want to see it them all at once or sprinkled throughout the week. Winter Witch Icicle Crown from Loyal Blush Original Pen & Ink Witch's Cabin Drawing from Mystery Art Gift Yuletide Jingle Besom from Steadfast Flowers House of Baba Yaga Necklace from Kleinod Jewelry Woodland Elf Wrap from Pixie Felt Fashion Original Drawing, January & February from Justell Vonk Art Winter Tree Spirit from Talking Tree Creations Take a look in all of these artists shops. They each have much to offer!

As a little girl, I was obsessed with doll houses and can still remember the Christmas when I received one. It was made by my uncle and I was so excited. This Christmas Eve I'm circling back to my love of miniatures combined with my love of the macabre. Judith M Sachs creates spooky room boxes that are a delight to look at. Her shop is Tiny Twisted Theatre .  Miniature Vampires Masked Ball Capture in the Dungeon Golfing in the Cemetery Ghost Bar Evening in the Music Room I hope these inspire you to create your dreams. Merry Christmas!

You may have noticed I didn't post yesterday. I've been posting almost daily for over 5 years here and it still amazes me how many different Halloween artists I find! The daily posts have become a habit, but I feel I need a little break, so I've decided to change things up a bit starting next week. For the next several months I'll have a post here every Monday that will look like a Macabre Mix Monday. It will feature 7 different pieces from 7 different artists and then I'll highlight those artists on Facebook and Instagram throughout the week. If you want to see everything at once, check the blog on Monday morning. Otherwise follow my Facebook and Instagram accounts to see them one at a time throughout the week. As we get closer to Halloween, I'll ramp up the blog posts again. I'll also try to show a bit more of what spooky things I've been up to throughout the week. I hope you'll stay with me! Now, back to our regularly scheduled program. I love t...

Twas the Monday before Christmas and I haven't forgotten you even though I've been cleaning for the Winter Solstice and finishing up the decorating. Here's what I found while I was doing all that. Miniature Witch's House from SarCraft Workshop Small Steel Devil Skeleton from Kihl Studios Skeleton in a Gothic Carriage from Asylum Zone Articulated Skeleton Necklace from RockCakes Skeleton Wall Hanging from Ricky Zia Art Glass Devil Cup from Glass By Oliver Doriss Creepy Christmas Trees from MM Wicked Whimsy Mable the Witch Doll in Box from Pupillae I hope you have a magical Winter Solstice my friends!

I just love the whimspookal drawings from Paolo Petrangeli ! His spooky characters are adorable. I especially love the Christmas themed illustrations and wish they were made into cards. You'll find prints and original drawings in the shop. Find one you love. Krampus, Original Waiting for Christmas Dark Forest, Original Il Diavolo, Original Dentino, Original Pendemia Aren't they sweet? There are lots of prints and original drawings in the shop. Make sure you take a look.

We're in the midst of a snowstorm right now and as soon as I saw the glass pumpkins with pressed flowers it took my right back to summer. In case you're looking for a little warmth right now, I'm passing them along to you. The shop is The Glass Beagle . Mini Pumpkin Sun Catcher with Pressed Flowers Pumpkin and Pansies Sun Catcher Stained Glass Pumpkin Stained Glass Bat Bow Tie Glass Bat and Moon Bunting Ghost and Pumpkin Sun Catcher I hope you're warm and toasty wherever you are!

Typically Tuesdays are for haunting miniatures and I've been so busy lately I haven't had much time to research. When I came across Emily Herrera's tiny glass terrariums that housed equally tiny skulls I knew I had found a winner. The terrariums can be displayed in a haunted house or worn as a necklace. Her shop is Enchanted Forest Minis . Dia de los Muertos Skull Terrarium Mini Skull on Headstone Owl and Skull Rose Bush and Skull Large Skull on Pumpkin Black and Silver Flowers with Skull I love these so much I'd like to see a full-size one!
