A love of skulls.

It may be morbid to some, but we have a love of all things bones. Skulls in particular. We've seen and collected many over the years but we've NEVER seen any like these. Some pretty amazing artists.

All amazing artists, all items we'd love to have in our collection.

An old school treasury.

We love it when our items are included in interesting well thought out Etsy treasuries. If you're unfamiliar with what a treasury is, click on the link and you'll find a collection of items related to the creator's topic. It is a fascinating way to showcase items available for purchase on etsy. Each treasury is created by an etsy shop owner or patron relating to a specific topic. There are many created each day, each related to teams or type of material or certain style. 

This purse was included in treasury entitled "Kickin' it Old School", containing a number of very interesting items we'd love to own. Take a look and if you see something you can't live without, spend some money.

Kickin' it Old School Treasury

We couldn't help ourselves...

We purchased a signed print from Six06, got it in the mail yesterday and today it was framed and hung next to our signed Bettie Page photo. So excited with how it turned out. Truly a beautiful piece.

We hope to add more of Julie's work to our collection in the future. Her work is incredible and the prints are on very fine paper. We encourage you to check out her shop at Six06. 

Many new items in the DFA shop.

This week has been box purse week. Take a look at some of the interesting purses we've posted recently.

Another truly amazing artist.

If only we had the patience to spend long hours with a hot tool in our hands (insert laugh track here), of course that would also mean we would need the creative genius necessary to work with wood as well (insert second laugh track here). Seriously, we find this lovely lady's work thoughtful, inventive, amazing and truly an inspiration. Now, if only we could find a way to purchase some of her lovelies then we'd be set.

We're not sure where these came from or who created them, but someone with a lot of N's in their name could surely use them.

Magical and amazing.

We were transcended into a magical dimension when we first viewed these photos. Truly amazing and beautiful. There is hope that one day our work could be this fine.

Maybe.
