skelopiggy

im gonna cut this short cause im all tired.
i went to styles, got some blank shirts and tank tops for screen printing and a few other articles of clothing that i absolutely love. i wanna go back and get more! styles is my new shopping place to get blank tees and tanks. then i went to target and got some black and white striped gloves and this SUPER cute skelopiggy bank that fits in perfect with my random skeleton animal collection.

comic books

went to go pick up some more comics to feed my boredom. i ended up sitting at the comic shop for a couple hours reading this comic called Fables and LOVED it. Snow White is HOT. i recommend this comic to anyone even though i haven't finished it yet. also, Walking Dead premiers on Oct 31 on AMC so make sure you tivo it or record it or set your alarm because you can't miss it, its going to be EPIC WIN. in celebration i went and bought volume 1. i started reading Lady Death first and wow.. just wow, i am impressed. its seriously the best thing since sliced bread. you need to read Lady Death!







i also picked up more pokemon cards, i wanted to buy the undaunted series but they were all out so i settled with heartgold/soulsilver to see what they were like.

crafty

i also went to joanns to pick up a few odds and ends for some crafting i needed to get done after walking around Old Town for a few hours. i got some clay, and some clay tools, some clay softener that i've been needing forever (and this is a must have if you sculpt with sculpey cause that shit gets hard as rocks and its not even baked. i got three strands of pretty autumn inspired garland that i want to strand above my curtains or possibly the mosquito net over my bed, then i got some black peacock feathers, an urn, and an LED branch to make this gothic bouquet of black silk flowers.


oh and heres a couple more antique photos i bought at another antique shop and scanned for your viewing pleasure.

adventures in antiqueing

~ i went antique shopping last night but had to come in today to pick everything i had picked out because....my card got declined!! eek!! that was so embarrassing, i ended up getting there twenty minutes before they closed. they had so many beautiful things at the antique mall i went to called Granny's Attic. theres also a second antique mall right next to granny's called Grandpa's Attic. i haven't yet explored the place because Granny's attic was huge and i haven't explored the entire mall yet, so next weeks mission is to go back there and finish looking and start on grandpa's attic. anyways heres a few treasures i bought
i got this great chandelier that i hung right next to my bed, although i did hit my head on it enough to make me want to move it to the other side of my bed and i decided i was going to paint the flowers a rusted over black color even though the rosey-pink is gorgeous, it doesnt match my room.

spotted this old photo taken of a dead man in his casket, his wife and daughter peering inside.. it was so gruesome that i had to have it.. for $20... expensive, but it was worth it because it fits in perfectly with the rest of the oddities in my sideshow of a bedroom. i apologize, my scanner doesn't do the photo justice. click on it to see it larger.

this cage was fairly small, but would fit my black crow in there perfect. it also wouldn't cause too much tension on my ceiling, so it was perfect to hang in the corner of my room where there isn't any decorations.

i got a set of deers for only $8 that goes with my ever-expanding, but small deer collection my great-grandmother gave me when i was a little one. they were too cute to pass up and "hooved" creatures seem to be very "in" this year.

i bought a porcelain doll head for $2 and placed it in a really neat looking jar i also bought for $4 for a spooky feel.

lastly, i got another singer dress form, but this one is a small size and this one adjusts to my own measurements while the other dress form i have is a medium and is too big for me. but i am so glad i have it and only for $70 it was mine, that is SUPER cheap. and it comes in handy for all my clients who are petite and just in general makes life much easier. hurray for dress forms!

beetlejuice

my friend said my sun hat reminds him of lydia.

new decorations

ive had this lighted spider web up for awhile but just decided to take a photo. i got it at walmart for $6 and the spiders come with. (you can see my fake human organs on top of my fridge, i got these for a dollar each at the dollar tree).


my brother and his friends wanted to do a seance so they borrowed my ouija board and they didnt return it for 4 weeks, but i finally got it back and put it up on my wall. honestly, i dont believe in ghosts but i wish they were real 'cause i'd totally want to meet a ghost.

i got my vampire girl vs. frankenstein girl posters from comic-con. its one of those japanese gore movies and its made by the same people who did tokyo gore police. so yeah gore + hot azn chicks. thats all you need to know.

i just did this set up, that tree is a candle holder i got from michaels for $10, the tombstone from michaels for $4, the ragdoll kitty is hand made, the skulls are from dollar tree for $1 and the spider webbing from michaels for $2. the black shelf is from the thrift store for $3.


a kitty tin pail from target for $1. you can get plain tins and paint on them just like this.

sun

i just found my sun hat and i just started making a sun dress to go with it (i know its not summer anymore but trust me it gets hot here in california). there was a black and white striped sun hat too but i thought all black was a better choice and looked classier.

i have a really shakey hand.

look at these tiny skulls they are so cute!! i have so many ideas so im not sure what i wanna do with these, i might have to go buy more to do everything i want to do with them. they were only a dollar at the dollar tree.

what the crap is a checkerist?

its funny how i got banned from the pagan community forums because two "checkerists" decided to pick on me. and the mods ban me in their favor? i've been a member for almost 3 years and this is how i am treated.. i heard that they've done this before and i wasn't the only one to be banned because they didn't like someone.. nice to know. what the fuck is a checkerist anyway? next time i join one of these types of forums im only joining a wiccan based forum.

thunder storms

it was thundering, lightning and raining, not to mention it was humid.. what a perfect opportunity to take photos.
