Cartoon Shoes, Alien TP, & The Cutest Mini Moon Knight

Happy Tuesday, adventurers! I come bearing treasure from the distant wilds of the spidery inter-webs.

Also this photo of a yard here in Florida:

Just 'cuz.

:D

 

Starting with the latest custom kicks by the queen of cell-shading herself, Ginoza Costuming:

HEART-EYES

 

These are themed to the new Borderlands video game Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, which I can't wait to play with John. 

Even if you're not a fan of the game, though, who wouldn't want cartoon shoes? Here are more Brittani's painted:

 

You can see more - including Brittani's internationally acclaimed cosplay - at the Ginoza Costuming Facebook page. (Srsly, prepare to have your jaw drop. This woman's got SKILLS.)

Because I'm a sucker for all things glowy and colorful, I bring you the creations of Fiore Di Luce, or Flowers of Light, in Milano, Italy:

My Google Translate isn't working, but I believe these are all handmade by a single couple, Elisabetta & Pier. From the process photos the lamps look like a form of paper fiber stretched over individual wire frames. Amazing.

Their lamps and pendant lights come in all sorts of fantastical floral designs, plus there are a few with butterfly wings:

OoOOoooh.

Then there are whole tabletop trees covered in delicate, translucent leaves:

Eep, so pretty. Follow Fiore Di Luce on Instagram for more eye candy - they have less than 800 followers, HOW - and you can also browse their Etsy shop to see what's available. (Brace yourself; prices range from $250-$600.)

Speaking of magical glowy things, guess what happens when you combine a leather teacup holster - which is always badass - with a glowing uranium glass teacup set?

SWEET GHOSTLY SLIMER THIS IS AMAZING.

This UV light up holster is by the amazing Doc Stone Studios. Give the good Doc a follow for more incredible leather work and steampunk stylin'.

Michelle over in my Labyrinth Fan Club shared her new pin board, and I think y'all will approve and/or make grabby hands for it:

This is a custom design by Tower of Treasure shop on Etsy, which has mostly Disney style boards for sale, if you're in the market. The design and frame are made of plastic - I assume laser-cut -  for a super polished and durable look. Love it.

Cindy over on FoE introduced me to my new favorite thrift store:

This gives me... ideas. :D

:: makes note to check toy section next time I'm thrifting::

The Repurpose Project is all the way in Gainesville, sadly, so it's a mixed blessing seeing all their incredible Facebook posts of things I never knew I needed.

Gimmie.

So yeah, if you love thrifting and antiquing like I do, definitely give The Repurpose Project a follow.

From the RPF, here's a mini Moon Knight named Logan meeting Oscar Isaac at the show premier :

D'awwww.

 Logan is just 6 years old, and his dad makes all KINDS of incredible cosplays for him. I love seeing how excited they are together! You can see more on their Instagram account.

Speaking of, are any of you watching Moon Knight? What do you think? I've fizzled out on Lower Decks and I'm ready for a new show, but this one looks... intense. Curious what y'all think.

And finally, since this is a crafty crowd, here one last Cool Thing I have to share:

Imaginarium 'Wings & Bones' Mould

I KNOW some of you could make amazing spooky things with this silicone mold! It's food safe so you could make teeny chocolate skulls for cupcakes, or use hot glue to make wings for embellishing gothic book covers, or resin or clay for jewelry! So many possibilities, with almost all 5-star reviews, and it's on sale for less than $14 right now. Yes, please.


As always anything you purchase through my Amazon links gives a little back to help support me and John, so it's a free way to support this site. Thanks for the clicks, the comments, and community, y'all. Love you!
