Grimoire of Cthulhu

Master tomecrafter MilleCuirs returns to our pages with this Grimoire of Cthulhu.  I love the custom embossment design.

 

Cthulhu in Copper

Artist Michael Broom brings us this nicely done Cthulhu idol in a patinated copper finish.

 

The Margate Mystery

Oh, my.  What strange and mysterious creature could have washed up on shore in Kent?

Beachgoers have found a "strange skeleton-like" figure which washed up on the shore at a British beach and left them puzzled over what it could be.

Paula Regan stumbled across the eerie object while enjoying a seaside walk with her husband Dave in Margate, Kent, on Monday, March 10, and a crowd gathered to look at it. Photos show what looks like a skeleton and mermaid hybrid, partially buried in sand and surrounded by seaweed- with a skeletal head and tail-like structure.

Followers of the blog will immediately recognize the creature as a traditional sideshow-style Fiji Mermaid.  It's hard not to congratulate the Regans for a hoax well played, but I really wish the reporter hadn't played along quite so enthusiastically.

 

 

Worshipper of Dagon

Richard Svensson is a dedicated amateur filmmaker who specializes in hand-animated fantasy.  Over the years he's produced dozens of short films, including a number of Mythos-inspired works.  He created this puppet to appear as the creature at the climax of his adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft's "Dagon".  It's a fantastic sculpt, built using techniques that Ray Harryhausen would be familiar with.  Click through the link for a detailed look at the film, and the puppet's construction.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Welch Edition.

Sculptor Luke Welch brings us his take on the traditional Cthulhu idol, heavily influenced by Lovecraft's own sketch.

 

Double Bracers

These beautiful Aragorn-inspired leather bracers come to us from Outcast Props.  What makes them unusual, other than the level of craftsmanship, is that a gambeson-style bracer nests inside the ornate outer armor.  Click through to see a full gallery, including some cool color variants.

 

Ebonized Wand

McCormick Wands returns to our pages with this wonderful tableau featuring one of their ebonized master wand designs.
