Hello my gorgeous ghoulies!! Creepy Katie here, with newly crafted sinister shinies, for your viewing pleasure. I've had a lifelong fascination with crime scene analysis, and the sciences used therein. I had a lovely classmate in college that was a retired CSI, and we'd chat true crime all the time. As such, I've always found blood spatter patterns morbidly beautiful. When I discovered the existence of lepidocrocite, my inner Dexter was over the moon. The crystal structure looks like arterial spray, preserved in time forever. It also has subtle schiller sparkle, similar to sunstone. These two pieces are great specimens of the gem, both freeform native rose cut faceted cabs. Set fairly simply in fine silver bezels, and the rest, sterling silver construction. I went more romantic goth with the more triangular stone, and trad gothic architecture to the more oval gem. They are sizes 9, and 9½, available immediately. I also have a small cache of these cabs in stock, if you desire something more custom. Indulge your inner gore wh , and get yours today.

Hello my dapper devils!! Your glamour ghoul returns with new/old treasure. You all know I have a lifelong love of history, architecture, and antiques. This piece is an example of all of it, in one. The setting is an antique French brass press molding, from the turn of the previous century. Decadent Roccoco styling, with sumptuous details, from three cherubim, the graceful curls, highlighted with draping swags, just beautiful. It was a dull as mud when I acquired it, over a century of tarnish, from languishing in storage. I found a perfectly sized antique Uranium glass rivoli in my collection, but the cut is double point faceted. So, I skeletonized the center of the setting, with a tiny saw, and inset the gem. After a good session of polishing, and refining, this formerly homely piece sparkles like gold, and glows like the aurora borealis under blacklight. I'm obsessed, obviously. I have *ONE* more of these settings, if your muse demands it. 😘

Hello my freaky darlings!! Well, today is your glamour ghoul's birthday. My 37th rotation around this bizzare space rock we call home. No big plans for today, but shennaigans planned for a few days out with my darling fiancé. 🥰 Celebrate my birthday, by doing something nice, and indulgent for yourself. And I'll be back with new deadly designs next week. 😘

Hello darlings, it's me, the ghoul with all the cool jewels. This week's offering, was kinda hard to do. As I'm slowly going through the workshop I shared with my dad for 26 years, I keep finding things. He stashed treasure everywhere, and I never know what I'm going to find next. I came across a bottle, filled with jewelry that needed repairs. At the bottom, I found something I hadn't seen in 30 years. A pearl ring my dad made for me when I was in elementary school. I, in my childish lack of knowledge, fell asleep with the ring on, and my finger swelled, leading to my dad having to cut it off my finger. I had no idea he'd kept it, and when I found it, memories came flooding in, and I had a loud, messy cry. Even the pearl had memories, as we got it together at Seaworld, at the crack your own oyster booth. I knew I wanted to restore it, to keep that happy, if fraught memory alive. So, I did my best to preserve as much of the original setting as possible. I had to remove the pearl, fix the remaining shank, and add on a new one. The smooth spots at the top of the ring shank, are the original metal, which was a plain band. I intentionally left them like that, to show where he left off, and I took over. Strangely, it seemed like it was being difficult, and problematic, until I switched music. I had on Alice, and it fought me. I switched to "The Mamas and the Papas" and it went smooth as silk afterwards. 🤣 I don't know if that was my dad saying hi, but I hope so, he never warmed up to Alice Cooper. 😅

Needless to say, this is not for sale, but I thought I'd share it with you. 🥰

Hello my giddy goblins!! The glamour ghoul returns, with firey finery. Still working on getting my mojo back, but here's a sexy little snack in the meantime. Diamonds have always bored me, plain, clear, and basic. I live for color, flash, and fire. And does this piece deliver all of the above, and then some. The star of this design, is a stunning antique Czech glass cabochon. It's called Dragon's breath glass, or dark mexican opal glass. She's got incredible color, movement, and internal structure that flashes, and changes every which way you turn it. Set in a delicate bezel of .999 pure silver, captivating swirls, and points embrace this magical stone, the spirals echoed in the comfortably wide, deeply pattered ring shank. A secondary handmade rope border ties the design together, like a shibai master. It's gorgeous, romantic, and eye catching. This particular ring is available immediately, in a size 9½, or custom made to order, in any size. Do you love the flames? Get your piece now.

Hello boys and ghouls, it's me, yours cruelly. Still working on getting my mojo back in the shop, but some days are definitely more difficult than others. As such, this minimalist design popped into my head. Burnout, is so very common, especially in millenials, so I made a visual personification. Hand smithed in 12ga sterling, life sized, burnt matches, hanging from my signature 925 leverback hooks. I won't lie, this last year has left me burnt, wrung dry, and put away wet. At least the earrings look good. 😅

Hello my freaky darlings, your glamour ghoul returns. I finally managed to take back the shop, and it took more time, and grounding, than anticipated. But, doing so, and getting back to my art, honors my father's legacy. So, here we go. The newest addition to my collab series, with the endlessly talented . A really lovely scrimshawed piece of ethically sourced human calaverium, a coffin, inked with St.Peter's cross. I went full trad-goth, with my favorite fanged fine silver bezel, ringed with a secondary, enhancing sterling beaded bezel. Set atop a wide, and very comfortable tooled sterling band, Morticia Addams herself would be proud to sport this grisly gem. As it currently stands, this is a one of a kind piece, but we'll see if others happen. 😉

Hello my darling deviants. I know no one has heard from me since last Fall, but, I live, sorta. The past few months have been a huge change in my world. My father's unexpected passing, two other family members declared terminal, and adapting to life as a household of three. I won't lie, it's been unbelievably difficult, processing pain, loss, depression, and taking care of my mom. My father instilled in me my love of art, creation, metalurgy, and so much more. And it would be a disservice to his memory to stop making. I haven't yet had the nerve to fully take back the studio, it was a shared space, and now it's mine alone. So, here's me, trying to regain some normalcy. And what better time to come home, than on the first Friday the 13th of the year. I present my newest design to my Radioactive Rarities line, The Curie. made me these stunning UG skulls, and most of the beads are from my dear friend . Solid sterling construction, made one link at a time. Faceted vaseline glass, stunning UG claws, gleaming black pearls, and attitude. She's *LARGE* glows like a nuclear reactor hitting critical, and demands your notice.

To all my followers that are still here, thank you. Your support, kind words, and love have meant so much, in this dark time. I'm wobbly, but I'm still standing. 😘

Well, it's been a few days, I guess I'm at a point I can get this out. This is a post I didn't expect to have to make for at least another 20 years. My father, Stanley, passed away unexpectedly on Monday afternoon, he was 76 years old. He has spent the last two years in and out of the hospital, for various ailments. It still hasn't quite hit, it feels like a terrible prank. My pops was a cockroach, always survived everything.

After his last hospitalization, he required three times weekly dialysis. We were taking him into dialysis, he was having trouble with the walker, and asked me to get a wheelchair. He tripped getting into the chair, hit the pavement, and apparently flatlined. There was so much blood. The EMTs and emergency folx got there fast, and did over an hour and a half of CPR, it just didn't stick. The trauma doc said it was likely he was having another heart attack, which is why he was feeling off, and fell. I just kept expecting him to sit up, and ask why we were all staring at him. Seeing him effectively die in front of me, is something I'll never forget, and will haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.

This is a incredibly fraught time for my family, so please be patient with me. I'm out of my studio until further notice, and I don't know when I'll be up to making again. Do me a favor, and hug your loved ones extra tight, tell them you love them, time is more precious than we really know.

Hello my spooky sweethearts!! I know I've been pretty much invisible the last month plus, but a lot is happening. My world has been tipped over, and shaken like a bag of scrabble tiles. My dad is finally home from the hospital, but now on three times weekly dialysis, with many other new diagnoses, new meds, and needing help with just about everything. On top of that, my grandmother, my last surviving grandparent, has gotten a more or less terminal diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer, at age 94. My poor mom is stuck managing both their doctor appointments, meds, and transport. I'm taking care of her, and my dad, and the household, with my own health issues chiming in. This has been a huge upheaval, for all of us. As a result, I haven't had the time, or energy to create, and the stress has made my own chronic issues worse. I'm barely hanging on, but I have to be strong for my family. I wish I had better news, but this is why I've been incommunicado. And I doubt things will get easier soon. I truly appreciate those who've reached out to me, you guys are so sweet. I don't know when I'll get my feet back under me, and back into my studio, but soon, I hope. 😫😣
