Gothic Art

Tonight, I was honored to be the guest on a video podcast hosted by Rebecca Cuthbert for her new show, Girl Meets Gothic, which is produced under the Horror Realm YouTube channel (by Travis Bruce). The episode on which I appear will be released shortly, and on the episode, I promised I'd write a blog, showcasing some of my gothic artwork over the years. So, here is that blog!

It's important for me to stay busy with more than just writing. My creative outlets come in many forms.

Below are some of the gothic art pieces I've made over the years. First up are my "Tooth Fairies". These are fairies made from  preserved animal teeth.

So, now you have seen the tooth fairies, but how about some fairy tails? (Fairies made from tail bones pieces.)

​Not everything I do involves bones, however. Sometimes I just see ordinary objects, and I picture them all gothed up, so I do it. Like this gothic cathedral I made using an old decorative bird cage and some ugly Dollar General decor.

​My art doesn't always have a planned direction. Sometimes I simply gather creepy crafting materials and let them speak to me.

A good porcelain baby head goes a long way in my world...

I adore Victorian-style ornate frames, and I'm also a huge fan of ghosts, so a lot of the time when I feel the urge for gothic crafting, I just make my framed ghosties.

In conclusion, I feel very grateful that Rebecca Cuthbert invited me onto her new show, Girl Meets Gothic, to chat about all the weird stuff I do! Go follow the show on YouTube under Horror Realm! And look for my episode, dropping soon!
