What a dapper chap! I was inspired by a few posts and popularity of my LED experiments in design. Found an old skull charm, gave him goggles and cobbled together a top hat from an XL brass eyelet, some cut brass tubing and walled setting. I attached it at a slight jaunty angle. Couldn’t resist installing a tiny LED within the skull set in resin. Like my other pieces it’s powered by putting a small clutch battery pack on a small post. The whole piece is set on a stick pin so it could be worn on a cravat or dress coat. Unfortunately, the LED has made it very difficult to photograph accurately. The light seems too bright but in reality it’s just an eerie green glow. Perfect finish to a gentleman’s outfit who dabbles in the macabre and dark arts. The batteries are easy to replace.

Fanart herein! I just read Stephanie Burgis’s historical fantasy Masks and Shadows, which is a pretty awesome story set in 1770s Hungary, about how romance blooms between an Italian castrato and an Austrian widow when they meet at the court of Esterhazy. And there’s magic and alchemy and Gothic horror too. Highly recommended!
Anyway, I love the central romance, and after I finished reading the story I couldn’t get the main characters (Carlo Morelli, the castrato, and Charlotte von Steinbeck, the widow) out of my head. So here they are. I really want a sequel!

My sister came up with a really really cool idea so I brought it to life to sell at a con XD This is handmade, so every single one is slightly different in terms of sewing! Thank you for your time! :)
What a great combo! @valentinescorpse mixed together our Writing Shoulder Corset and Brocade Cravat Blouse!

For a lady of covert activities, a cleverly noosed cravat can be as deadly as a bladed fan or a well-applied crumpet. Unless you’re wearing burgundy gloves, you’ll want avoid weapons likely to produce excess blood, and the cravat promises a minimal risk of damage to one’s attire. (Blood is just near to impossible to get out of silk!)
Let us only hope your adversary is without an Anti-Garroting Cravat, which are all the rage among gentlemen targets these days. They make finishing so terribly inconvenient, and force a lady to resort to far messier alternatives.
