Gothic Valentine Treats

The holidays were a busy whirlwind this year I didn't get a chance to post this Christmas decoration I made. It's a very Poe Christmas.

Since it is nearly February I've been getting ready for the next holiday, Valentine's Day.  I made a few new pieces this year.
This is more an anti-valentine piece. I call it the death of love.
I used clay to make this anatomical heart with a key hole that I added to a heart box I painted and added trim to. Next to the heart is the skeleton key that matches it. 

I'm working on a new shadow box that features a doll I'm in the process of making. I sculpted a raven's head over a small porcelain doll to create Miss Ravensworth. Here's a sneak peek.  I'll be working on her clothes and home interior next.
 For my next doll project, I'm going to try making the entire doll. I have some ideas I've been wanting to try out.

I've been working on a couple of Gothic Valentine themed items for the shop.  Nothing says, "I love you" like a bleeding heart coffin or a black heart box celebrating immortal love! 


To continue the Gothic Valentine / Immortal love theme I also created this vampire fairy tale shadow box.  It's the tragic tale (aren't all good love stories?) of Gracen, an ancient vampire who falls for the beautiful but very human Lady Elizabeth.  It's a love story that ends and begins in death.
