Thank you both for your kind words : D

The sugar skulls, whilst theoretically edible, don't taste very good...kind of like eating a plain sugar cube. But they're fun to make!

I found the triptych mirror in a dumpster! I couldn't believe someone threw it out! It reminds me of an old church window, too, with the arches :blush:

In a dumpster? :blink: Incredible! But it's in such a good state! Did you recondition it? The things people throw away these days!
the thread of life lies severed on the brink of paradise.. .

Yes...in a Dumpster! I just used some furniture polish on the wooden parts, and had one of the mirrors replaced, as it was missing.

And thus we stumble upon one of the great boons of gothic decor, a tendency to rejuvenate or reinvent items others would just throw away. Good job! :)
