"Then perhaps we should carve a world one day where the strength lies in who you are, rather than in what they expect you to be."
Rin Chupeco, The Bone Witch

Finally a sunny, albeit chilly, day at Faire! Had a blast running around with my coven of witches, but am so sad that there's only one more weekend left!

Three things asked most frequently yesterday:
1. Where is that skirt from?! @silverleafcostumes
2. Where did you get that iridescent flower? @lacasadeflores
3. Is that a Megalodon tooth necklace? Why yes, it is! @become_spellbound

Thought I'd share the skull talisman and ”crowned skulls” tie I wore for the “gothfellas” themed wedding I officiated last week. If only so I can namecheck the work of Spellbound, who made both this talisman and the bloodstone pendant I usually wear when doing weddings.

Visit: @become_spellbound for your talisman needs. :)

Happy 15th Gotcha Day to me! 🤩 It’s been 15 years since the craziest little bundle of joy entered mommy’s life 😝 It wasn’t love at first sight 🙊 but it turned out to be LOVE ❤️ In honor of my special day, I’m sharing some baby pics 🥰 Don’t let my cuteness fool ya 😉 inside I was 💯 a little devil 😈🤣
✨
Because I was the craziest puppy and mommy didn’t have time to train me, she wasn’t sure about keeping me 😬 When I heard her tell grandma 📱 that she’s thinking of sending me to her auntie’s house for a while, I curled up in a corner 😔 When mommy found me, her heart broke into a million pieces 💔 She promised me right then & there that she’ll never send me away no matter what ❤️ That’s when our souls became forever family ♾ Of course I pretended to be mad at her for a little while longer, but then I woke up & acted even crazier than before 🤣
.
So if you ever meet someone crazier than a tornado 🌪 don’t give up on them 😉 They might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you 🥰
✨
I’m not the only one celebrating their special day 🥳 I’ve put on my pawty hat from my beautiful auntie Elly @elly_1027 🤩and my @thebirthdaypuppy bandanna from my besties @bingoandsisters 🥰 I’ve prepared Bubutinis 🍸 Buburgers 🍔 I’ve put my dancing shoesies on 🕺 I’ve warmed up my voice 🎶 and I’m ready to pawty 🤩 with:

This one of a kind display piece is a collab with @become_spellbound, who sculpted the settings and added the stones before passing the snake over to me for its copper transformation. It’s 3.75” wide and just under 5” long and spent 3 days in the electroforming bath!

A little collaboration magic ✨
This crystal wand started with @become_spellbound, who carefully selected the crystals and formed the wand before sending it my way. I added the stones and electroformed it in copper. Next, I oxidized it to black, and polished it to bring out the antique copper finish.
This piece will be up for grabs on 9/10 so be sure to check back if you want it. 🪄✨
