Madame Scodioli Geek Scrub

26 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, free stuff, madame scodioli soap 39 comments

Today’s etsy shop giveaway is from seller Madame Scodioli. I am a seeker of all things bath and body. So of course I love her little tins of fragrance and handmade vegan soaps.
The one posted above is Hierophant: Hierophant’s purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. This crisp, clean blend of sweetgrass and aromatic sage with supporting notes of bergamot, geranium and amber will do just that. A mystifying scent.
Contains beeswax, jojoba, vitamin E oil and fragrance.
Approx. 1.0 oz.
Screw-top container.

After the gates close and all is quiet on the midway, Madame S. retires to her wagon and spends her evenings sewing, crafting and making soap for the rest of the performers.Her soap and perfume are crafted from highest quality ingredients, always tested personally by her and the rest of the troupe.

And our giveaway looks heavenly. I’m not a coffee drinker myself, but every time I drive up to Starbucks to get my cocoa I admit I take a big whiff. LOVE the smell. So this is perfect for those of us trying to embrace our inner geek!

Tatted Templar Pendant by TotusMel

25 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, templar, totusmel 27 comments


Today’s giveaway is by etsy seller TotusMel. I found her after reading the book “Devil’s Kiss” by Sarwat Chadda. Searching for Kinights Templar items I discovered her super steam punky necklaces…
Hi, my name is Pamela Quevedo. I’m a stay at home mom to 2 wonderful little girls. I’ve been creating stuff since I can remember & I’ve never stopped teaching myself new things. While this site focuses mostly on my needle tatting, I’m also known to cross stitch, knit, crochet, sew, bead, play with perler beads, tear apart motherboards for interesting parts & I even draw on occasion.
My goal with my tatting is to not only to make it wearable, but interesting & dare I say hip. I’m always interested in feedback on my styles & color choices.

I can also be contacted at

This pendant began as the center of a vintage pattern. Hung by a corner, it reminds me a bit of a Templar cross.

The pendant measures 1.75″(4.5cm) across and hands from a silver plated ring. A black 24″(61cm) ribbon is included

Fairy Tale Steampunk Bookmarks by RusticGoth

24 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, rustic goth, steampunk 41 comments

Today’s giveaway comes from the Rustic Goth Shop! She has given us two sets of three handmade bookmarks of original art. Here’s her bio “My dark and dreamy paintings and prints are rather sad and surreal in nature, at times a little whimsical and weird.

“Creating art is what I do…it is how I live… how I connect with the world that exists
outside of my studio…how I connect with my own feelings.

It is my hope that each work of art that I create, invoke a reaction, of some kind, in the
viewer….and a special connection with it’s owner.”

Steampunk Alice In Wonderland Signed Art

23 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, steampunk, strangeling 37 comments


Our giveaway today is for one of three signed prints from Etsy seller and artist Strangeling. Her work is unbelievable!

Here’s a little bit more about Jasmine: My name is Jasmine Becket-Griffith. (Aka Strangeling or mis-spelled as Jasmine Beckett-Griffith). I am 30 years old and I live in beautiful Celebration, Florida. I am a full-time artist and I make my living selling my artwork. I have been selling my original Fairy, Gothic, and Fantasy artwork online since 1997. You are purchasing this artwork directly from me, the artist. My original paintings are all acrylics on canvas or wood – all painted by hand, the old-fashioned way. All prints are made by myself & my husband Matty, here in our living room – and signed by me, the artist! I make all of my jewelry myself as well. I feel that it is important for me to sell my work directly to my fans, without the needless expenses or pretension of a gallery or middleman. I grow weary of the mundane world, and I am trying to slowly create my own through my fantasy artwork. I believe that with each piece of art I get out of my system, onto paper, and into your home I have done my part to make this place a more magical planet. You may know my work from countless books and lines of merchandise, especially through Hot Topic, Torrid, Target, SuperTarget, the Bradford Exchange, Hamilton Collection, etc. as well as my website http://www.strangeling.com/ ! Here is your chance to own the actual artwork. My work can be found in collections and galleries throughout the world, and am featured in the books “The Art of Faery” & “The World of Faery,” “Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed,” “Spectrum” number 11, 13, and 15, “Gothic Art Now,” and others. Also be sure to check out my solo art book called “Fairy: the Art of Jasmine Becket-Griffith,” “Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Portfolio Volume I” and my new book “Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Portfolio Volume II” now available. When I’m not painting, I’m reading, spending time with my family, petting my cats (Mama Wolf and Tigrillo), playing outdoors, listening to music, or traveling. I enjoy traveling all over the world, whether it be for my art shows & conventions or just for fun and exploration! I love the ocean and spend a lot of time island hopping in the Caribbean, playing pirate. I also love visiting museums and historic sites throughout Europe. A lot of my travels end up as being sources of inspiration for my paintings!

Strangeling has donated Three Signed 8×10 Fine Art prints to us

To enter to win one (there are three winners) …leave your name, email address, and favorite print of the three below:

Steampunk and Fairy Bookmark Giveaway

14 Feb, 2010 by in etsy, Meredith Dillman, steampunk 31 comments

Our Valentine’s Giveaway is from the incredibly talented Etsy shop of Meredith Dillman Fantasy and Fairy Art and Illustration

“I mean by a picture, a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be – in a better light than any light that ever shone – in a land that no-one can define or remember, only desire – and the forms divinely beautiful” – Edward Coley Burne-Jones

————————————————-

I am an artist from the frozen north. I would prefer the real world was always filled with autumn leaves and colorful flowers, but at least I can paint them with my watercolors instead:)

My artistic influences include Pre-Raphaelite paintings, Art Nouveau and Japanese comics. I love painting fairies, elves, medieval and Japanese themes. My art has been published role playing games, the book Watercolor Fairies, How to Draw and Paint Fairies, and 500 Fairy Motifs and recently was the cover artist from the fantasy novel Mercury Brightman: The First Sign ( http://www.thefirstsign.com/ )
