Idol of Veles

"Veles is one of the ancient Slavic gods and natural forces in the pantheon of Slavic mythology. Veles is associated with various aspects of life, such as fertility, livestock, water and wisdom, and sorcery. He is often depicted as a man with horns or a mustache, which may indicate his connection to the animal and natural world."

 This amazing hand-carved idol of Veles comes to us from Slagovir.

Making Teeth

I love when the YouTube algorithm actually works.  This DIY video from Dark Nook shows you how to create prop teeth using cotton and wood glue.  The result is a cheap, workable modeling putty that dries hard.  It's similar to the cold porcelain recipe mixing PVA glue and cornstarch, but the long cotton fibers prevent the cracking problem common to that material.

What's Better Than a House Elf? A House Demon.

Ukrainian artist Alisa Tochylovska returns to our pages with a Khovanets, a Slavic house demon.  They're known for bringing wealth and plenty to their owners.  Unfortunately, that prosperity comes at a price.  The creature harvests good luck from their master's neighbors, bringing misfortune to them so their owners can benefit.  Worse, their owners pay for that prosperity with their soul when they die.

It Bites

I've watched enough B-movies to know that sticking your finger near any kind of odd-looking carnivorous plant is a very, very bad idea.  Sadly, Elizabetta Visentini hasn't learned that valuable lesson.
