All posts for the month August, 2018

Missmonster

Missmonster is the shop of Melita Curphy, who makes all sorts of beautiful, imaginative costume pieces, dolls, clothes, etc.

Corvus Helm, $465

 

Glow in the Dark Shark Tooth Pendant, $24

Crystal Raven Glow in the Dark Wall Bust, $85

Curphy also sells items on other sites, like Shirt.Woot, Design by Humans, and Five and Diamond.

Werewolf skull shirt, $25

Snake Leggings, $70. They have plus sizes, but they’re kind of a joke. Dear retailer: XXXXL is *not* a size 18-20.

Lisa Toms

Lisa Toms is a Spanish doll maker. She makes plenty of realistic stuff, but I’m more about the fantasy.

Fire Salamander (note: this is a fantasy critter–fire salamanders don’t look like this)

Baby Mandranimals

I cannot possibly love this fantasy possum more.

Possum Forest Spirit

She also does pet commissions.

Pancake the Rat

She designed enamel pins to fill her Etsy shop between doll sales.

You can find Lisa’s work on deviantArt, Facebook, and Instagram.

JennyMonkey

JennyMonkey is an old friend from Portland, Oregon. She used to sell mostly craft supplies, especially stuff for letterboxers. I recently checked out her shop again, and she has gone in an entirely different direction.

Jesse Fowler Bakelite Bangle, $196

While her shop is mostly not spooky, it has lovely stuff. Jenny has carefully curated a collection of hand-made jewelry from small shops.

Skeleton Hand Earrings, $14

Owl Hair Clip, $17

She still has stuff up on her Ebay shop, including a couple vintage postcards. It’s possible I couldn’t resist bidding on this one (even though I totally shouldn’t):

Vintage Halloween Postcard

Jenny is a great person with superb taste, and I’ll be keeping an eye out here.

Cobra Skeleton Ring, $18
