mantle time.
hello all.

last night i decided to clear my usually messy, cluttered mantle and make it more, well, unified. normally it housed my monster/halloween collection along with my religious icon collection, but i managed to just keep out the religious junk. the rest went tucked away in storage. as for the large branch piece above my mantle, i made it. it's a bunch of sticks i've collected from the local mountains all wired together.

anyhow, hope you all like.




the over-all result.

the right side.

the left side (once again).

yes, the date says 1951. i love it.

this took me forever to wire together and hammer up. but it was oh-so worth it.

I love the whole thing, especially that you've made a skull and horns into something not goth but gently fairylike. That's a deft touch you have!

Agreed.

It made me think of the masked ball in Labyrinth.

Heart candle? I love it!! Where'd you get it??

Everything is great...the only thing I think isn't my taste are the crystals hanging off the deer/branches, but everything else looks amazing!

I love the Virgin Mary. Not that I'm a religious person, by any means, but I just love the Virgin Mary... I used to put a statue of one out in the woods/flowers/grass/wherever and take pictures of it when I was a little girl! And I'd pretend I was her when I was little, wearing an old blue nightie and a white pillow case on my head... and my daughter pretended she was her all last Christmas, too... I've passed on the weirdness gene.

...so, that being said, I love your Marys. :)

I know this is a really old post but maybe you'll get this anyway and be able to answer my question - how did you hang the skull? I have a great skull w/antlers but have no idea how to hang it. Also, does it have any kind of seal or protectant? Mine is old (my dad found it in the 70s or something) and starting to deteriorate...
