Marie Antoinette SnowGlobe




You won't find anything else like this on Etsy!

One of a kind, clay sculpture of the beloved, and wrongly treated Marie Antoinette and her decapitated head. She is wearing her signature powder blue gown, and is immersed in micro-glitter, with floating white pearls, and iridescent purple beads. Oh did I mention her decapitated head is floating around in there too?

This is a plastic domed snowglobe that is 3" tall from base to top of dome and 2.75" in diameter with a black base. I was going to decorate the base, but it looked kind of cheesy.

Sculpture of Marie's body is 2 3/4 inches tall, and the floating head is 1 3/4 inches.

Being beautiful is a lonely affair



Sunday is a strange day. I always feel like I should be doing something with myself, but can never figure out what it is. Boredom got the best of me, and I started to draw and this little lady appeared. I'm thinking about making it into an ACEO or possibly a print. I've always been terrible at drawing, but I'm sometimes impressed with my doodles. Maybe it will be a new hobby to explore!

Princess of the Peppermint Parade





She was so pleased to be nominated to be The Princess of the Peppermint Parade! But she choked on some candy during the festivities! The crowd mistook her choking for enjoying the holiday fun. How sad...

Christmas Calamaties




So you know those people that look forward to Christmas ALL YEAR and then totally freak out on the day and don't enjoy any of it? Well take it a step further. Hunter (unfortunate coincidence) hacked all of her party guests to pieces when one of them refused to sing along to Silent Night. Oh dear...

More to come soon, I promise!

Miniature Portrait of an Emo Girl




I saw these 5 x 3 cameo style wood cut outs at Michaels and was inspired! She wears a real fabric dress top, and sports a 3D wood cut out head. Black micro glitter border, and tied with a black ribbon to remind you of your sadness. http://www.thetinytragedies.etsy.com
