Just as promised, I have been creating more Moffins! This time as adorable, monstrous, coffin creations measuring approximately 2.5″ x 4″ with a metal wire ornament hook that’s perfect for hanging around and protecting your home or yule tree!
I do plan on making more of these but no two will ever be the same. So if you like the ones you see above be sure to scoop them up before they are gone. They are currently listed for sale in my Etsy shop and will soon be available to see in person and purchase at a discounted rate* at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL.

Most people know that I have quite the infatuation for all things circusy. Top it off with campy horror and it is quite the recipe of giddiness for me. So it is no surprise to most people that I have always had a deep love and appreciation for the movie Killer Klowns From Outer Space. I mean what other movie incorporates walking a balloon animal dog on a leash!
It really was great getting to be a kid in the 80s, surrounded by so much weird, creative energy and it’s been great growing up and being able to appreciate the things from my childhood on a whole new level. For instance, having the honor of meeting Mike Martinez aka Rudy (my fave👽🤡) and Harrod Blank aka Slim at Flashback Weekend a couple years ago. You can tell by the look on my face in the picture below what a milestone moment this was for me. That recipe of giddiness in full force.
As with most pop culture, horror, and fantasy things that I love, I had been wanting to create something I had envisioned from the movie, but was not sure how I was going to go about making it. Let’s just say I have been researching supplies for the past year.
And that’s when we went inside, and that is when we saw those people in those…those pink, cotton candy cocoons.Dave, it was not a circus tent.It was something else.
For a while now I have been working on variations in between other projects and finally found the base that worked best for what I was trying to create. With the help of my amazing, engineer of a husband (who was able to get the tubing to work the way I wanted them to) I was finally able to bring what I was envisioning in my brain to life and am so happy with the way they turned out.
I present to you my Limited Edition Cotton Candy Cocoon Ornaments….
They measure approximately 8″ from the bottom to the top of the hook. 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. I have even been considering making some to be displayed next to my own Killer Klown collection of figurines, Funkos, etc.
There are currently only 2 of these ornaments pre-made and listed in my Etsy shop. They will also be available to see in person and purchased at a discounted rate* when I make my next art drop off at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL this weekend. In other words, be sure to get one while you can.

So I know I mentioned in a past post that I was currently working on some creations that I started before everyone was forced to stay home due to the COVID pandemic. I completed them during quarantine and have been going crazy not being able to share them with my art collectors but it was very important to me to get photos of these metaphysical pieces out in nature.
Ironically with the world in chaos I feel like everyone could use some extra healing right now so being able to get out to photograph them came at perfect timing. My husband and I took a trip to a secluded forest area and he helped me get some good shots of them for all of you. When they were hanging in the trees they looked so magical as though they were left their by fairies which is exactly what I had hoped for.
Handcrafted, blessed with incense and charged by the Strawberry Full Moon, here they are.. my new Limited Edition Spiritual Skullerfly Crystal Wreaths!
These pre-made pieces of hanging art were handcrafted with a miniature wreath as a base with a ornament hook for hanging. They each feature a glittery Skullerfly coordinated with a matching rosary chain of crystal beads, a clear point natural crystal gemstone to draw in positive energy and adorned with matching feathers, faux flower petals and twigs from nature dipped in glitter.
Carnelian (Orange) to invoke creativity and balance the sacral chakra
Rose Quartz (Pink) to invoke love and balance the heart charka
Aventurine (Green) to invoke prosperity and balance the heart chakra
Lapis Lazuli (Blue) to invoke confidence and balance the throat chakra
I currently have pre-made only 1 of each of these. Buy the one that speaks to you the most and let it invoke and inspire you where ever you may display and hang it. Each one measuring approximately 5″ x 4″ and currently available while supplies last in my Etsy Shop!
The Mutter Museum in Philly was mine and Frank’s #1 reason for wanting to go to Philly when we took our road trip with Mike and Heather back in March. Knowing how excited we were to go there Mike and Heather even paid for our admission as an added thank you for Frank driving the 11 hours to get us there (yes our friends rock!).
Part of the reason I was so intrigued by this place is because anatomy was my favorite subject in art school. Then you add on all my own “fun” ailments, my love for oddities and anything remotely macabre and that pretty much sums things up. Needless to say when we went there I was mesmerized by the place. We are both still so happy we got to experience it in person. Recently on an episode of Ozzy and Jack’s World Detour show we got to experience it all over again. As we were watching it we kept saying “ohhh we were there! We saw that!” ha ha.
I had been following the museum for many years before getting to go there and knew that every year they put up their Mutter Tree for Christmas. Often people send in ornaments to donate that go with the theme of the museum. Well this year I decided to donate one of my 2016 Santa Claws Christmas Ornaments to the Mutter Tree! Well go and behold I opened this post on Instagram this morning and could not be more thrilled!
So thrilled it arrived in one piece and is now a part of this incredible museum’s holiday tradition! See other ways my art and handmade creations have been featured and displayed on my official portfolio website! Also if you like this ornament, there are other versions of it available in my Etsy shop. They are one of a kind so once they are gone they are gone! Happy Holidays everyone!
