beat up creations

Beat Up Creations is probably my favorite Etsy seller of all time! Angela Rossi uses recycled, abused, tossed aside, broken and forgotten items and turns them into fabulous new creations. Besides the altered antique plates shown below, she makes assembled sculptures and fine art prints. I adore the "Picture Day" series, vintage school portraits with animal heads.

blue bayer design

We love Blue Bayer!
Last year for Christmas we ordered a few bat skull cabinet pulls from Blue Bayer's Design NYC Etsy Shop and a really cool Raven skull necklace that I wear constantly.

 Blue Bayer Design now has a website as well with lots of great stuff, check it out!
