Wondrously Strange

I have a policy that I don't buy items off the front page of Etsy since I don't want to take time away from someones moment in the spotlight. Every rule has it's time to be broken, however and that time came for me when I saw wondrousstrange.etsy.com on the front page a month ago. It was her gorgeous Raku miniature masks pictured above. They were hauntingly beautiful and they had to be mine. I couldn't risk someone else taking them away from me so I bought them immediately. They are so beautiful that I still haven't found the perfect project to use them in yet. I like to look at them and think about the possibilities, which is more fun than actually using them at this point.

I also bought this lovely pin called There's Love in your Future. It was inspired by the HBO show Carnivale. This show was prematurely canceled a few years ago and I still have dreams about it. This pin captures the haunting and surreal qualities that I loved about the show just perfectly. I have it pinned onto my old gray winter coat to add a touch of intrigue to the cold winter days coming up.

She is also an amazing photographer and doll maker. I am honestly in awe of her artistic talents. Everything she does has that same dreamy and strange quality that I love. I have a feeling she will be seeing a lot more of my paypal dollars in the months to come.
