Kickstarter time!

Currently I make resin skull jewelry which I’ve been selling in my etsy shop Skullery for a few years now. I’d like to expand and start producing a line of silver and bronze jewelry. I’ve spent the past 6 months learning how to make them and producing the examples you see here (and there’s more on the Kickstarter page). 

Now I need your help! The equipment I need to cast these pieces isn’t cheap, so I need enough people interested in my work in order for me to buy the tools I need and start production. 

I’d like to spread this as far as I can, so this post also doubles as a giveaway! Reblog this post to enter, no need to follow me, and when the project ends on June 1st I’ll pick three winners randomly for a bronze crow claw necklace, a bronze fox claw necklace, and a silver mini sparrow necklace (check out the project page to see them!). The first winner will have first choice, and so on. I have these pieces already made so even if the kickstarter isn’t funded you’ll still get them. And if you back the kickstart and win we’ll make sure you don’t get the same thing twice if you don’t want to.

Thanks for taking a look! If you cant back the project but want to help, spread the word! <3

Aw yissss! Gonna contribute as soon as I decide what reward I want. c:

Museum of Fantastic Specimens

This online collection of creatures is “curated” by Hajime Emoto. The three-story virtual museum consists of nine rooms filled with water and land dwelling monsters, demons, and dragons from all over the globe. Some of the monsters look so incredibly real, it’s hard to believe that they are sculpted from paper, modeling paste and bamboo. Since the virtual museum is written entirely in Japanese, the links below can help guide you through a tour:

Each specimen has a clickable thumbnail that links to additional photos and background information (in Japanese). The basement contains a bookshop and a cafeteria that serves dishes prepared with some of the creatures featured in the museum.

FUNGUS!

Buying art for my new &#8220;cube&#8221;
(ok, it&#8217;s not a cube at all, it&#8217;s a GIGANTIC corner desk and it feels waaaayyyy too important for me)

Right now it&#8217;s obv very WHITE and super boring and I HATE it. I never really got anything for my walls at work even at my previous desk, so I&#8217;ve spent the last two years working in a lame, uninspiring corner of a really cool office. I refuse to continue being the boring one!

Here are my ideas so far:

Lil BUB poster set, specifically this smaller Jaws one. :3
. 
Little Friends of Printmaking Unlucky 13 calendar, because more cats!
.
Woolungosaurus Glendowerensis by John Conway, because DINOSAURS! also it&#8217;s fucking beautiful I mean look at it
 .
skulls in spring by Teagan White, because my boss put the preemptive kibosh on REAL skulls, ARG
.
Y&#8217;all got any other ideas? Maybe more than just 2D wall stuff? I&#8217;ve never decorated a cube!
?

The bodies, tagged with identification, are then placed at a mass grave should relatives come back to claim them.
