Calaveras, Moustaches, and Steampunk

I have been busy working on a new line of
skull ornaments for various occasions.
Deb, at On Cupcake Moon inspired the ornament
idea while I was working on her custom order for
Valentine's Day.



I have made various St. Pat's ornaments and magnets.


Here is a dapper Steampunk skull, complete with
top hat and a gear tooth bling!

And then here are my babies.
So cool, but a serious pain to paint them with any
symmetry at all! I must have wiped each side off
at least twice! And painting them with a tooth pick and
a piercing tool is a bit labor intensive, but worth the work
in the end, I think.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make bunny ears
stay on and not be a breaking hazard.

Okay, I listed the above pieces in my Etsy shop if
anyone is interested.

Gotta work on another St. Pat's Skull order for a local client
due tomorrow morning. It's gonna be a late night.

  1. Glo these are fabulous and worth every meticulous minute! For bunny ears I would use an eye pin and tin foil then add the clay over but stick the eye pin in the head x
