Shop of the Week: IllustratedInk.etsy.com

My name is Leila, and I've been a full time artist since 2006. Most of my creations are inspired by "Day of the Dead", traditional tattoo design, and folk art from around the world. I love color! Catholic icons and symbolism influence much of my work. I put a lot of love and effort into each of my one-of-a-kind pieces. It brings me so much joy to create art everyday! I reside in Austin with my sweetheart, 2 kitties, and a Corgi. :)

Things I adore: carnivals, my Jeep with the top off, thrift shopping, writing actual letters, watermelon, snuggling with my kitty that's soft as a bunny, stacks of musty books, Christmas lights, all birds, old cathedrals, Mexican Coke in a glass bottle....

Shop of the Week: MacabreCreations.etsy.com

As you can tell by the name this is a store that offers items that are unique, unexpected, and on occasion … just plain macabre. I am intrigued by the unknown, the bizarre, and the odd.
As an artist, I am inspired by deviations that occur in nature, things that are “magical”, sights that evoke emotion, and (more often than not) whimsical imagery.
It is very likely that if you share my curiosity for something that is truly strange, you will find the perfect addition to your collection here.

Before Static White was spawned she was another creature. A dark and unhappy creature. One night she had a long and horrid dream which at the end she died. She didn't wake. Everything just went black. She was alone with her thoughts but could neither see or hear. Slowly motes of white invaded the black and, oh, the sound! Like a TV when the channels gone off the air after you've fallen asleep and the remote has dropped unnoticed to the floor...
Read more about Static White and her alter ego here.

Shop of the Week: GroovyMoonCreations.etsy.com

Hi, my name is Melania and I love making jewelry! I have been doing it for more than 10 years. I love to work with resin, glitter, beads, and antiqued silver. I get a lot of inspiration from history, making a lot of Renaissance, Victorian, and pirate-themed pieces. My designs also reflect the two sides of my personality- my dark, skull loving goth side, or my bright, nature loving hippie side. I also love using mythical creatures in my designs, like mermaids, fairies, and dragons. I love to create all sorts of things, and I also make hair clips, trinket boxes, and potion bottles. I am so grateful to be able to do what I love and share it with the rest of the world!

I believe it’s the little things in life make us feel beautiful! And why not add a little flair to spice up your daily life?!? Here you will find a wide variety of Hair Adornments to suit almost any style. Each clip is crafted by me personally and made with fine detail and attention to construction. These are nothing like the hair clips you’ll find in a store and are higher quality with far more personality. I look for the best materials I can find at the best price so I can pass the deal on to my buyers. You will find an array of textures used in each design and though some pieces are produced in two’s or three’s, you’ll also find that I create many one of a kind’s.
As you will see, I try to create many wonderful styles and will periodically make themed clips. If you see a design you like, but it’s missing a little character, feel free to convo me and we can work on creating the perfect accessory for you.
It’s very important to me in knowing that the feathers I buy are cruelty free. I do check my sources the best I can and often.

Miniature Witch or Wizard Cabinet

A new model of miniature cabinet for your witch or wizard scene.
Including a pile of bones and skulls, real natural gemstones and a parchment scroll closed with real sealing wax!
From now on I am going to try and add more documents to my cabinets. From my own personal experience looking for them, I know it's difficult to find realistic prints for miniature settings. I make a solemn promise to offer very good-looking and clear-printed parchments documents! I hope this is the beginning of a new series of book-filled cabinets for dark libraries, studies and laboratories.
If you have your own idea for your very personal cabinet, please contact me at Kaleidoskopic Romance and I'll do my best to bring it to reality.

And for those plans, here you have a haunted and spooky cabinet for your dolls' needs. It includes everything you see to set up the perfect scene for a witch or wizard's house.
Like it but not exactly perfect for you? Just contact us and we will be happy to custom make one to your specifications. Visit us today at Kaleidoskopic Romance!

Four Skulls Choker

The centerpiece was taken from a old bracelet i used to have and wanted to use it for something else. This is a choker that fits any neck size because all you do is tie it off in the back, and voila! you're good to go!

A great piece for the guys also!

Victorian living room for witch or wizard dollhouse

This is one of my favorite pieces so far!
A lovely vignette featuring a Victorian sofa and a coffee table full of witchy goodies for your haunted dollhouse or castle. It includes everything you see, even the broom and the black pillows. As usual, nothing comes attached so you can have lots of fun rearranging the items to suit your taste.
This is a one of a kind scene, never to be duplicated.
Made by yours truly, Kaleidoskopic Romance.

Review: AgonysDecay.Etsy.com

I custom ordered a batch of White Skull Shaped Soaps Vanilla scented from AgonysDecay.

Not only did the order arrive in two days, they were packaged very carefully, she included some neat promo items and a Pink Dragon's Blood scented Brain soap (hubby sniffs it through the wrapping while typing on his computer)! The price was extremely reasonable and we communicated often as the custom order was being created. Overall I'm more than satisfied with this purchase as are the kids from my daughters Pre-K class since the soaps went into treat goody bags I did for Halloween! I will definitely be back for more from AgonysDecay.

Review: Trade - GypsyEye.Etsy.com & Room3Designs.Etsy.com

In my trade with GypsyEye I received a catacomb soap, a frog hemp soap, and a turtle hemp soap.

This was a great swap with fantastic communication. When I received the well packaged soaps I was surprised to see she had sent me one more than the two agreed upon! Needless to say I'm super satisfied.

I just finished up using the frog hemp soap and started on the catacomb soap. I will happily recommend both these products to whomever will listen. The hemp/oatmeal soap was light, yet cleansing, didn't leave any residue and left me feeling clean clean clean (and lightly exfoliated). I love the catacomb soap, it's light sandalwood essence and it's smoothness. Plus, it's a huge bar, so I have a feeling it will last a long time. A very good deal if you ask me.

Our trade was great! Room3Designs had great communication the entire time. I was thrilled to receive the beaded spider when it arrived.

I had the option to choose what color I preferred and it has a wonderful creepy elegance. It is beautifully made and was packaged safe & securely. It was fantastic to do a trade with her!

Her skull cameos are beautiful! I currently own a black and purple one, along with many of her other creations. Her tissue box covers are wonderful, and bring such a spooky touch to an otherwise boring tissue box. Her spooky soaps are so cute, and smell great! She always gives her customers free items with their purchase as well, which always keeps me coming back for more! :)

I love her stuff she has the most beautiful cameos and the cutest hair clips!!!!!

When I was in Italy, I was fortunate enough to find a "real" cameo whose price I could afford. However, this cameo is smaller than 1/2 inch.
You want cameos? You can have plenty!! In Agony's Decay shop, you have big, beautiful, gothic, detailed cameos and cabochons, with awesome backings that you can use as pendant or brooch. Her customer service is the best of the best, and when you open her packages, it feels like it's your birthday.
You won't be disappointed if you visit her!
