I'm suffering from a spell of ennui these days. This is not the end; I'm looking for a spark of inspiration. As soon as I find it, Shivers of Delight will be back.
Is it just me?

Surreal Paintings From Julie Schuler
I can't stop looking at the paintings by Julie Schuler. They're macabre and yet so intimate that they draw me right in. I want to hear the stories that inspired each one. You'll find these original paintings and many more a JSchulerArt.

Damaged Goods
I was so excited to see that Beth Robinson has some new dolls in her shop Strange Dolls! I purchased an Accident Doll from Robinson several years ago at an art show in Burlington, VT and I just love it. She is calling her new collection Frost Bite.

Robinson's dolls are typically a little fragile and damaged, but romantically so. Make sure you stop by the shop for a look.
