Skulls

[clevermanka]

Ugh. I had a post written up, but apparently I'd written (and then tried to save it) in the window for an entry I'd been using as storage for several links but then I marked it deleted in a different window and... post gone, links gone.

Blast.

Sooooo this is what you're getting today.

Today's Tumblr collection is Tuesday, October 13: Skulls.

Those handbags remind me of Nasca trophy skulls. A lot.

But those little pearlescent skulls...

Right?!?!? I looked them up and they are way way way out of my price range, even the tiny ones, even if I could get my hand on one.

I hate it when that happens!! :S

And now my lunch is upsetting my stomach, so this is turning out to be just really great all around.

Oh no :( Much sadness!

I love skull art so much.
I'm always amazed when I see a jewelry piece and think "Oh, that's lovely, let's look up the artist!".. only to find out that it's CENTURIES old and then my mind goes
:psssBOOM:

Yep! And all that Art Nouveau jewelry from the Belle Epoque. Remember when Goldmaker's used to be, like, 90% that sort of stuff? Ahh, beautiful browsing times.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Oh yes!
A side note: they are making jewelry from their molds from the 70s, there is a beautiful mermaid with a pearl ring in the window that I could just die for.. but it's definitely Very Special Occasion pricey.

My last purchase from them, (which was a gift from Jbird) in the Black Diamond crystal version, which has an antique silver metal chain:

Lovely!

OMG, did you see this skull pattern rolling pin? (https://www.etsy.com/listing/221113731/skulls-embossing-rolling-pin-pattern?ref=related-0)

Too bad I don't bake anymore!

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I know! I seriously tried to think of other uses.. besides leaving an interesting scar if you walloped an intruder upside the head with it.
"Why, yes officer, he does have a scar on his face. Looks like a bunch of little skulls."
"Did it look like an old scar?"
"Oh, no. Definitely a recent scar."

Ah, fuck. Accidental deletions make me so mad!

The collection is lovely, as always. Any hints as to what's coming up in the next few weeks?

Next Tuesday is Creepy Buildings and the last Tuesday in October is Gas Masks! That wraps up my Vaguely Unsettling collections for Halloween Month. I don't do that every year, but I had enough collections prepped for this time. Yay!

The skulls are beautiful. I love that table SO HARD.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And YES oh my god THAT TABLE.
