Vintage Birds and More Halloween!
Author: Crushed Velvet Roses // Category: Alpha Stamps, Eye Candy, Mind CandyLeslie from Alpha Stamps has just released another gorgeous newsletter to faint over! If you haven’t seen the 7Gypsies ‘Conservatory‘ collection, prepare yourself! It’s beautiful!!
Also – much as I’d like to not tell you about this and hoard them all for myself (heheh!) – the Masonite ATC Cards are back in stock after a long absence! These are the best to beat up, sand, paint, sand again, emboss, embellish, drill, hang and more! Last year I made hanging ornaments out of them for a holiday show and they were a huge hit. Here is a picture of one of the ornies from that show:
Keeping up with the Poison theme……a missing ACEO showed up! I have 3 or 4 more that I did for a series, hoping to find them tomorrow! I found this one while trying to dig Jimmy Hoffa and Amelia Earhart out of my studio today. I have to separate those two every once in a while – the last thing I need is for them to spawn. I have my hands full enough with 3 Oompa Loompas, 3 dogs and 3 cats!
ACEO: (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) 2 1/2 x 3 1/2, alcohol inks background, nude femme, vintage poison label, black Dresden wings. Everything except the poison label came from

Coming soon to Zazzle……..(minus CVR written all over it.)
Miz Melanthe Solaline who happens to have a mad obsession for Belladonna…..drop by drop into each eye. You’ll find her creeping through the cemeteries some days picking fresh roses off of graves to decorate her secret apothecary with. (She adores keeping secrets!)
Melanthe spends money wildly on rare and precious oils – her favorites being a blend of rose, patchouli, spikenard, clove, a tiny bit of vetiver with just a touch of ambergris. Oh yes, Miz Melanthe indeed uses the forbidden ambergris! Don’t tell her that I told you though……there’s no knowing what she’d offer me to drink for telling her secrets!
She’s *almost* complete.
The Snarly Monsters of Mockingbird Manor
Author: Crushed Velvet Roses // Category: Eye Candy, Mockingbird Manor Monsters
Meet the Snarly Monsters. They are the naughty little imps that run rampant underfoot and are known for their ability to make the weirdest faces (usually behind your back!) and while they may look sweet they’ve been known to be quite rotten.
Snarly Monsters play trixies on you strictly for their own amusement, have sassy mouths, laugh at the most inappropriate times and love to make messes wherever they go. Every time you think you’ve been able to make them behave another one pops up with their naughiness!
So you just know I had to get this guy when I saw it – he cost me a whole $6. LOL
With much love to Madame Talbot…………
Vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas.
These are the last two goils I have – they’re staying here with me :D
