We are a worldwide team of artists, crafters and suppliers who sell our delightfully dark goods here on Etsy. Our goal is to help promote the darker side of Etsy by shining a bit of light on some amazing dark shops and promoting them across the internet and in real life! Not only does it bring together these great dark shops but it also makes it easier for customers and fans of dark goods to find them!
I work primarily in polymer clay and like to make beady eyed critters in particular. I also make unconventional greeting and holiday cards. More in the skulls and strange images vein, as opposed to flowers and puppies. Not that there is anything wrong with flowers or puppies, I just like my art to be a bit.... dark and creepy.
In August 2006 I locked myself into the laboratory and when I emerged, my creatures were born. My minions have had many transformations since then and are still evolving. I am interested in all things dark & spooky. Needless to say my favorite Holiday (besides Christmas) is Halloween and is reflected in most of my creations. I am a great fan of Mr. Poe & more often than not there will be at least one item here with a touch of the master.

Handmade jewelry, decorations and whatever else comes into my weird little mind. Specializing in gothic, steampunk and spooky themed items. (But not limited to these themes) I also sell prints of my photography, emphasizing form and function, especially in nature. I also strive to represent the micro world in macrovision .
