Enchanted textiles

*Fairly Enchanted* Designs is a somewhat new Seattle-area shop that is run by a quirky girl who has been creating art throughout her entire life. *FE* draws on her obscure thoughts of a twisted reality in order to provide curious items featuring monsters, zombies, and plushiness which are bound to spark imagination and conversation.

Dark texture

My name is Crystal Fosnaugh. I work as an oil painter, using old maps,
organic matter, and beeswax. Secondly, I construct jewelery pieces
using recycled metal, old vintage treasures, and resin.  Images are
drawn from maps, beetles, the victorian era, anatomy, botany, and
anything else that my heart is drawn to. Lastly, I construct dark and
glamorous hair pieces from feathers, vintage jewelery, and flowers.

Death wears a hood

Spider Baby expands on the modern version.

The black hoodie is now a piece of iconic apparel like the t shirt & leather jacket. Spider Baby makes wondefully dark, edgey, one-of-a-kind hoodies for anyone. Fabric designs ranging from skulls, bats, flames, webs are hand sewn on to the classic, black zip-hoodie creating a unique piece of wearable art. Sizes range from child to men's 2x.  Custom orders welcome!

The bare bones...

The Skull Shoppe was created to offer a new choice to those looking for a great skull at an affordable price. As a skull lover, I found it impossible to find a good skull at Halloween or online for a reasonable price. Taking matters into my own hands, I started the long process of the “affordable skull”. I offer a skull to meet all budgets. From economical models, novelty, foam to high end museum models, I have you covered. With the exception of my economical models, all skulls are cast and finished by hand to assure the finest detail.

Dark waters

Where waterfront charm consists of neglected boats shielding their wounds behind broken-off piers and where dust-bowl glamour consists of Victorian pageantry in a cabaret of heartaches, Miss Oblivious has drawn inspiration to create individual hand-stitched dolls of performers through re-creations from still images captured through static and moving film.

Miss Oblivious, a Seattle-based custom portrait doll-maker, writer, film producer/director, and artist, produces a public-access TV show in which she exhibits short films featuring talented artist and performers. Miss Oblivious also publishes "Oblivious Nation" formerly "Cunt Fear", a zine documenting her life world, and messes since 1994.

Vendor wares

"Tormented Artifacts contains a bit of everything:  an imaginative smorgasboard of wearables and curiosities fusing occult experimentation with steampunk exploration and just a touch of cyber. Leather masks dip into pagan and fantastical themes, getting absolutely insane in the gasmask section. Other accessories include tribal-futuristic accessories and elegant jewelry. And the art pieces: arcane boxes and books and scrolls and blades, an elixir case with a couple of "missing" potions, fossils and skulls from ancient monsters."

Our roots...

It all began at Crypticon '09...

A group of us sinister crafters had crossed paths before but had not yet been contained in one room. So at the end of three days filled with horror and zombie filled goodness, we said goodbye until next time. But when will that be I wonder?

Portland's community had many events for us to sell our wares. But we all call Seattle our home, so why is it all business and no fun?! Miss Ginger called on the ladies to attend Dark Tea where we plotted and schemed... Mourning Market was born!
