@princessxombie gave me a little disco pumpkin plush & I sewed wings & glued a googly eye on it & it's a littol creechure now

It hangs under streetlamps & slowly spins using its 2 little grabby feet. The light reflecting off its shiny scales disorients its prey- insects, small rodents & sometimes even fish [pretty much anything nocturnal & small enough to fit in its mouth. It uses a froglike tongue to catch prey. I don't know why it's pumpkin shaped or what the stem is for. Vibration-sensing organ maybe? Maybe it uses echolocation, but fitting with the disco theme, it makes like a rhythmic 4-4 beat by clicking its jaws I dunno

I think the dirty mirror kinda adds to the aesthetic 😅

Taking pictures of a mirror is hard. Antler is real shed, mushrooms made by me with polymer clay!

My Dead Boy Detectives Lantern is finally done!!!

I was originally going to make a replica, but the cardboard shapes kind of got a little funky along the way.

Very happy with how it turned out though. 👻<3

Prehistoric Mirrors from Turkey, c.6,000 BCE: these are the oldest manufactured mirrors in the world, dating back to about 8,000 years ago; they were meticulously crafted from pieces of obsidian

Above: two of the obsidian mirrors from Çatalhöyük (Turkey); this pair was found buried together back in 2012

At least eight of these obsidian mirrors have been discovered at a Neolithic site known as Çatalhöyük, which is located in Turkey. All of the mirrors date back to roughly 8,000 years ago, and each one was crafted from a chunk of obsidian (volcanic glass) that was knapped into the shape of a disc and then meticulously polished with progressively finer abrasives until a smooth, slightly convex surface had been developed.

Some of these mirrors can still produce remarkably clear reflections, even after 8,000 years.

Iron Age Bronze Balmaclellan Mirror, The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh

The Balmaclellan Mirror was found in a bog in Kirkcudbrightshire, south-western Scotland. It was part of a hoard of precious objects wrapped in cloth and placed in a bog, perhaps as an offering to the gods. Both faces of the item were smooth for reflecting.

Dated to 80-250CE, this mirror shows a mixture of influences in its style. The people who made this were familiar with southern British Celtic art and Roman art, adapting these to create a distinctive local style.

FINALLY! I've been wanting to make the magic mirror from Twisted Wonderland for a while and it turned out AWESOME!!! Now looking at the finished project, I should have tried to find an oval canvas since you can barely see any of the mirror part BUT STILL!!! The frame is built from cardboard and foam clay and a crapton of gold paint. When I have time, I'll edit the video of me making this.
