Handpainted Coffin Boxes





The purple coffin box has a victorian feel to it with the black vines on the top and on the sides. Once its opened, there are four skulls that were placed there with modge podge. The inside was painted with a mix of red violet and black paint, making it a purplish black.



The black coffin contains sticker both on the outside as well as inside and once its opened, there are two black glittery bats and was handpainted in red paint.



Both Boxes measure 7x3 1/2 inches.



Thanks for looking!

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!

19th Day Miniatures presents the Headless Horseman, 1/12 scale

Update-now SOLD-My Mom in Law Sherry and I worked very hard on this completely hand-made sculpture from top to bottom. It took us 9 days to make this working as a team. Everything but the wooden base is hand-made. We started out by sculpting free-hand this gorgeous spirit horse, called a Goblin in the original story by Washington Irving as can be read here: http://www.bartleby.com/310/2/2.html
This is our version of the Headless Horseman from this story, which was said was damned Hessian Soldier who would ride through the night searching for heads to slice off with his sword until his own could be found. The flaming pumpkin head was said to be thrown at people. It's the perfect tale of intrigue and fear for the Halloween season :)  Here's our sculpture:

Ahoy, matey!

Check out the custom Bloomers I recently finished! I personally love them. This one was a bit of a challenge because the Skulls & Roses cotton print fabric is not easy to come by particularly where I live. Luckily I was able to snag some at a decent price online. Then, I realized I was completely out the black cluney lace I was going to use to trim these. But, hidden away in my lace stash was just enough of the black & white cluney lace you see here. I've had it so long I don't think it's made anymore. At least, I've yet to find more!

Even with the hiccups, or more like thankfully due to the hiccups, I was able to create a great pair of one-of-a-kind bloomers for a wonderfully patient (and repeat) customer!
