New Tim Burton Art Flare For Your Holiday Decor! ❄️💀

0
Posted on by

The holidays are upon us, and it’s the perfect time to add a little dark whimsy to your festive decor. To help support this mission, I’m excited to offer 4-inch clear acrylic snowflake ornaments, featuring giclee prints of my pencil and charcoal portrait “What Nightmares Are Made Of” (which is currently on display at Beetlehouse LA)!

Each ornament contains two professionally printed giclee images sealed within the acrylic, ensuring the artwork is not only protected but visible from both sides. It comes ready to hang with a sleek silver cord, making it an effortless way to give your Yule or Christmas tree a truly unique twist for years to come. 🎄❄️✨

But why stop at the holidays? This ornament is also perfect for displaying year-round alongside your Tim Burton or Nightmare Before Christmas collection and spooky decor. Think of it as a little unique artistic nod to your inner Pumpkin King or Queen. 💀🎃✨

I only have four of these ornaments in stock, so if you want one for yourself or as a gift for that special Sally in your life, grab one while you can! They’re available in my Etsy shop and if you are local you can take advantage of my discounted in-store pricing** by purchasing them directly from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL! I made a special art drop visit to the store on Friday, and it was packed with collectors hunting for unique treasures, so don’t wait too long to get yours.

As always, please also share this post and help remind everyone that choosing artists and small local businesses this holiday season helps keep creativity and our communities thriving. 🛍🎁✨

Another Cotton Candy Cocoon Collector

Posted on by

Happy to say I was commissioned to make another one of my Cotton Candy Cocoon Ornaments and it is now being packaged up to ship to my new art collector!

This is now the 6th one of these that I have made for fellow Killer Klowns From Outerspace fans, and I love experimenting every time I make something I have made before. Always raising the bar and learning along the way on how I can improve my techniques. The upgraded hand sculpted toppers were the first thing I improved on and now this time I extended the cotton up a tad higher and also made it a little smoother. Needless to say, I am really happy with how it turned out and so is the client.

Once again I want to give a shoutout to my hubby Frank for always lending me his mad engineer skills to drill and make the tubing fit and work so perfectly every time I am commissioned to make one of these.

For those of you that are new to my work or stumbled across this post due to your love of campy 80’s horror movies, these handmade ornaments measure approximately 8″ from the bottom to the top of the hook. Each one is handcrafted so no two are ever the same. Unfortunately you can’t drink the essence of the person inside them as they’ve been pretty drained already, however they make pretty rad handmade horror decor for your home or Yule tree (if you like a spookier vibe for the holidays). My art collectors tend to display them next to their collection of Killer Klown figurines, Funkos, etc.

Also, these sold out very quickly when I first pre-made a couple of them so now I offer them as a Made-To-Order item in my Etsy shop. So if you are interested in commissioning me to make you one be sure to reach out with any questions or check out using the listing here.

Cotton Candy Cocoons Make Heathers Holiday Out Of This World

Posted on by

The overwhelming response I have been receiving on my Cotton Candy Cocoon Ornaments has been “out of this world” (pun intended). Not only did the ones I pre-made sell out very quickly but my listing for them on Etsy was being favorited so much I decided to set up a custom made-to-order listing for anyone interested in having one made. This of corpse has resulted in me getting to make more of them, but one order stood our from the rest.

When the order came through my Etsy shop I found out it was going to be a gift for my dear and close friend Heather and I had the hardest time keeping it from her. On top of it I was quite honored just knowing that something I made was on her (always well thought out) Christmas wish list and even more so that her in-laws chose it off her list to purchase it for her.

When she opened the gift during the holidays she immediately texted me and we got a good laugh out of it. The best part though was when she followed it up with this beautiful photo of herself proudly holding it up to show me how happy she was to receive it.

On top of all of it she shared the following feedback about the ornament that truly lifted my spirits.

“Nicole designed these creative, and incredible interpretations of the cotton candy cocoons, I knew I needed one! I put one on my holiday list, and crossed my fingers, since she only made two of them. I was very excited when I opened the box and saw it in there! Honestly, I’m surprised she kept it a secret this long. Ha! If you’re a fan of the movie, I recommend ordering one. They’re well made, and super cute. It was a hit when I opened it at my family party.”

Did you also receive one of my handmade Cotton Candy Cocoon ornament for the holidays? Or maybe you bought one for yourself or someone else? I would love to see and feature your photos here as well as on the Freaky Fanatics slideshow of my portfolio website! Contact me via my website or a DM on Etsy!
