A little edge, a little classy.

This cameo is handmade out of polymer clay! A semi translucent white has bee used for the skull and twisting border. The skull itself has been highlighted with a stark, bone white to give the details of the skull some contrast.

The cameo is oval shaped and roughly 1 1/2 inches in width and one inch tall. (see photo for size reference. The coin used is an American nickel.)

Ouija Board and Planchette Magnet Duo

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:13:55 -0500

$19.00
Now you can have the simple convenience of beseeching spirits with your earthly questions from the comfort of your kitchen! Or wherever you deign to place this mystical magnet.

This is a large magnet! (see photo w/ dollar) The Ouija board itself measures 3.5 by 5 inches.

An image of a vintage Ouija board has been placed beneath a piece of hand cut glass. It's border has been stamped, embossed, and highlighted with gold and bronze pigment to give it a three dimensional feel. This process was repeated on the back with spiral and swirls so that the magnet is pretty to look at from either side!

The planchette was hand crafted and fitted with a small flat back marble so that it can be used like it was intended; to sway over the letters and numbers on the Ouija board. The planchette dangles from a silver plated chain which is attached to a circular sun button which has a magnet on the back. This anchors the planchette to magnetic surfaces so that the planchette can act as a sort of pendulum and be free to be moved by hand over the Ouija board.

VERY strong rare earth niobium magnets have been used on both the Ouija board itself and the anchor for the planchette. They are very sturdy and will keep the pieces in place.

Both pieces have been sealed with a strong varnish that will help protect them from scratches. The glass can be wiped down with a dry glass cloth if it becomes smudged with fingerprints, dust, ectoplasm etc.

Invoke spirits from the beyond with this kitschy magnet!

Green Zombie Teddy Bear Magnet

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:05:22 -0500

$7.00
Horribly adorable! If there is such a thing as the Teddy Bears' Picnic, lets all hope this guy lost his invitation!

He's crafted in a sickly, pale green color. His (remaining) eye is wide, alert, and yellow-green. He's held together with a few stitches but they couldn't save his right leg which has been slightly chewed off.

Two strong rare earth magnets will secure him to your fridge, locker, metal coffin, or any other magnet friendly surfaces you desire him to lurk upon.

He stands over an inch tall and about an inch wide.

Note - please note that each zombie teddy bear is individually hand crafted wich results in very slight, small differences from bear to bear. But they're only noticeable if you look hard enough. :)

Beware zombified teddy bears!

Ribcage adustable ring

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:52:54 -0400

$5.00
A cute little three dimensional ring!

A ribcage in a circular shape is secured to a silver plated adjustable ring base. A whitewash has been spread over the bones to make them stand out.

The charm is roughly about the size of a nickel and has been sealed with matte varnish to protect and preserve it.

For a good idea for the size, keep in mind that the clear glass pebbles beneath the ring are those standard sized ones you see in craft stores.

If you would like this customized (different color/metallic etc) or if you have any questions at all: convo me!

The Odd Necklace in Black and Green

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:48:33 -0400

$14.50
I have an entire series of necklaces like these nearly ready to make their debut in my shop and I'm very excited to offer them; they're so much fun to make!

The Odd necklace features a handmade pendant with the word Odd stamped into it. There are some pretty decorative swirls and dots as well. A small green question mark charm is suspended beneath the main pendant by silver plated chain.

A variety of greens are present on the pendant and charm, as well as picked up by the green glass cats eye beads that sit above a black bead on each side of the pendant. A soft, black rayon chord is fixed to silver plated circle clasp.

(If you prefer a lobster clasp or something else, convo me and I can switch it for you; no charge.)

A silver plated chain acts as an extender on the necklace; making it adjustable since not all humans were born with identically sized necks. If you would like a longer extender, or a shorter necklace, convo me and I will happily alter the necklace for you. ^_^

A heavy resin-like gloss coats the pendant giving it a great shine! It's very glossy and looks almost like a ceramic piece or like candy. This gloss also protects it from scratches but I warn against exposing it to water. It would survive a walk in the rain, but don't shower or swim with it on. :)

Dimensions:
Total Length (this includes the pendant AND chord) is 15 and one half inches.

The extender chain adds an additional 3 inches if desired. (again, if you require more length, let me know and I will add it for free.)

The pendant itself is just over an inch in length and the width is half an inch.

The necklace is lightweight and durable.

The pendant itself is about one and a half inches at it's longest and about one inch in width.

The entire necklace is 16 inches long. If you would like it either smaller, larger, or with an extension chain, Convo Me ahead of time and I would be happy to accommodate your wishes FREE of charge. We want this batty necklace to fit just right!

Voodoo Doll Magnet has pins in his heart and glows in the dark

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:59:52 -0400

$8.00
A very handsome, very worried looking little Voodoo doll magnet that glows in the dark! He is a little over and inch high and roughly about an inch in width.

The magnets on his back is a strong rare earth magnets. Very magnetic; will clamp on to nearly any metal surface and could easily hold up notes, pictures, lists, etc.

His eyes, pin stuck heart, and stitches are all three dimensional- Not painted on.

He has been coated in layers of varnish to protect him from scratches and dings. Be advised however, you should not be rough with your Voodoo Doll magnet or submerge him in water. A fall onto a tile floor could possibly break or chip him, so handle with care.

Please Note - Each of these are individually handmade and so the stitches will not be EXACT (although very close) to the one pictures. I try to keep them as uniform as possible, but there will be a few micro differences here and there.

The Spine Necklace Recycled Collage Under Glass

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:50:09 -0400

$22.00
An exclusive Dreadful Designs original! OOAK and never to be reproduced!

I have so much fun making these collage necklaces! A lot of time and materials go into each of these unique one of a kind necklaces.

Paper elements are put down, followed by embellishments. In the Spine necklace's case, some black glitter is used, other embellishments include reused paper from decorative cards/envelopes, and some recycled black netting material.

A handcut piece of glass is then placed over the collage, followed by texturing layers of clay over it. I have painted the casing around the glass a sort of aged pewter color. The back has been textured and faux painted the same way (see photo).

The total length of the necklace is 17 inches. If you would like me to add an extender to the chain, let me know ahead of time and I will add length for no additional charge.

The pendant itself is just under three inches in length. One inch in width. For being a larger sized pendant, it's not all that heavy however. Two smokey colored chandelier crystals flank either side. The chain is plated silver and the closure is a lobster clasp.

Heart Held Captive in black and purple

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 12:00:38 -0400

$17.00
A tiny purple heart is hugged captive against a large black heart and restrained into place with criss crossing fuchsia colored wire.

The tiny orchid purple heart is embossed with a design and metallic purple pigment has been added to give it a very nice sheen and three dimensional effect. It has been secured to the front of the larger hand sculpted heart, in addition to being wired down. (In other words, the tiny heart isn't budging and does not flop around inside its wire frame.)

The black background heart is patterned and both pieces have been varnished with a protective coating. However, try not to get it wet if possible and avoid leaving it in the sun for prolonged periods of time.

The bottom of the larger heart tapers down into a twist.

The pendant is light weight and is nearly two inches in length. (From tip of the heart to top.) It's about an inch in width at the thickest part.

The pendant is suspended from 16 inches of silver plated chain. An extender has been added if you care to wear your necklace at varying lengths. The extender chain adds two more inches to the length and can be fastened at any link. A silver plated circle clasp is the closure. Also, a small purple bicone had been added to the extender to give it a little extra cuteness. :)

A total of six glass beads decorate this necklace. (see picture) They are violet and fuchsia colored.
