Shivers of Delight

I'm starting to really love Tiny Terrors Tuesdays. They give me a reason to search out artists working in miniature who also love Halloween and the dark side of life.  Today I have tiny original paintings- not prints- that you can hang in your doll house. Ben Brockman works in watercolor to create tiny little skull paintings. They're roughly 3 inches in size and would make quite an impact in any tiny house. The shop is The Sacred Trust and also sells other wall art, t-shirts, and stickers.

It's Monday and I have a new keyboard! For those of you who read Friday's post you know that JoJo spilled a cup of coffee on the keyboard. It was fried. Amazon the savior that I love and hate had a new keyboard on my doorstep before noon the next day. We're back in business for another Macabre Mix Monday.

Have you ever noticed that once you put your holiday decor away that you're ready to redecorate your house? This happens to me every year. And, it goes without saying, that the new decor gets a little spookier every year. If you're in the mood for something new and creepy, take a look at the lampshades from SkeleLights . They're made from veterinarian x-rays and while they won't provide a lot of light into your space, they won't throw and shade either. Old Lady Cat Jasmine, Two Matching Lamps & Shades Dog Chest X-ray Lampshade Small Dog Hip X-ray Lampshade Cat Full BodY X-raY Lampshade I interrupt this post to let You know that mY cat, QYJoQYJo,  just spilled mY cup of coffee allover mY keYpad.

Anatomical hearts, piercing eyeballs, skulls, fangs, and so much more! The clay and copper jewelry from Aurélia of Curionomicon is enchanting. Copper not your thing? There are also silver pieces and some lovely encased bugs. You'll even find whimspookal ghosts and pumpkins in the shop. What's not to like? Magical Child Skull Necklace Dragon Eye Ring Anatomical Heart Necklace Scorpion Locket Crystal Moon Pendant Pumpkin Ring Ghost Pendant I love the pieces I'm seeing in this shop right now!

Yelena Hall is making art dolls for dark worlds. The tiny mice are so life-like I had to look closely to see if they were taxidermies. They're not! Hall's craftsmanship makes the ugly, beautiful. Her shop is Focuspokus  and Hall calls her work "dolls for dreamers." Witch Art Doll Seven Heads Rat King Black Halloween Cat Raven Witch Three Eyed Art Dolls Blind Witch Hall's dolls are made to order so your's might be slightly different, but just as spooky.

Are you starting to become addicted to Tiny Terror Tuesdays and looking at miniatures for a haunted doll house? Cause I am.  Jenny Cooper is making Harry Potter inspired miniatures and other spooky pieces that may kickstart your next project. Her shop is Nightfall Miniatures . Professor Trelawney's Divination Classroom Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom Monster Books Honey Dukes Candy Trolley Vampire Cradle Aleister Crowley Satantic Altar Tiny Absinthe Table I'm inspired by this Absinthe table to do a haunted bar.....
