The owner of the Skull Shoppe came by a week ago and I now have this beauty in my collection. It will look great in my collection of macabre and Halloween display pieces.

I have purchased a lot of skulls over the years but what the Skull Shoppe is producing is hands down the best value for the money. It is a hollow cast resin skull that is beautifully aged. This particular specimen you can see serrations and tooling marks where whoever removed the muscle and flesh on the original skull wasn’t very gentle in the process. You can see every little detail that existed in the original. His process of molding is superb. Again if you are looking for a display or reference skull I would bet you won’t find a better one out there.

Deadspider, I have known for many years now. Potion labels, potion bottles, dark curiosities, creepy art, dark mistress of mache. She once attacked me with a large cocooned prop victim, I had my backed turned and she hit me with it. I sometimes get a horrible twitch in my left eye now.

The above pictures are prime examples of what she sells in her ETSY shop

She also makes amazing Halloween displays and you can see some of the pictures of these at her blog at aranamuerta.com.  She sculpts in paper mache and makes some pieces that I am truly inspired by.

So if you are looking for some additions to round out your witch’s kitchen scene, witch potion bottles and other accoutrements, or just wanting to check out some cool Halloween art go check out her site or ETSY store.
