Crafting Post: Burned Heart Wood Plaque

One day, I'll get a hang of this taking pictures business. One day.

Good evening, Fanatics!

The other day I was playing around with a wood burning kit that Aaron found among our combined crafting supplies. First off, let's celebrate the fact that I didn't burn myself! Almost, but I didn't! Yay!

Instead of poking just everything with the burning tip like I did at my old apartment (with age comes wisdom), I stuck with one of the unfinished wooden plaques that we had lying around. I had been speaking with my sister recently about Edgar Allen Poe because frankly, I can't make her stop, and pulled some inspiration from the Telltale Heart for a few concept craft projects I've been working on.

Post-Thanksgiving Update

Hello Fanatics! It's been a long while. Too long. We've been very busy over here at the T&B Undersea Laboratory! Thanksgiving is over and done, thankfully, and orders have been falling like a fine autumn rain. We've had record-breaking sales this month, and next month is looking to be just as promising. In addition to our Etsy shop, we've also been selling through gothauctions.com. It's a really handy site for selling of your creepy goods and we're quite happy with it. We even have an advertisement up on there now!

We have also put some of our hard-earned cash intooooo... Christmas Presents. That's right, folks! The most wonderful time of year! Isaac's present arrived just today. Don't tell him, but we got him a stuffed animal safety blanket. If you have a baby, or are a baby yourself, I highly suggest a Ruggle.

And to wrap everything up, we have three new items up in our Etsy shop! Megh has been very hard at work coming up with new designs for the shop and we are making excellent progress. Let's check out a few of these designs now:


This special checkered doll is one of a kind! It was made without a pattern and with cloth we no longer have access to.

This pretty lady right here is a new design of voodoo doll that Megh came up with, made of soft pastel cotton and adorned with an adorable skull and a scaaary bow. This is one of my favorites and I'm betting it will be a best-seller this season. Teapot not included.


And finally we have an older piece that Megh painted while we were expecting, the Boiling Hot monster. Constantly shrieking in eternal, burning agony, the BHM will warm up any living room with its lively colors and pained gaze.

A few observant readers may notice that two of those pictures were taken in our new light box. We built one earlier this week and the results are marvelous. If you're taking pictures of small items, definitely look into making one. Ours cost about $4.00, but we already had he appropriate amount of lamps.

That's it for now, folks. Keep it Fanatic.
