Originally posted in Myke Amend's journal, my lovely partner in the Etta Diem shop. This is an incredible painting, the images here don't do it justice. So take my word for it, this is a beautiful piece of steampunk work for lovers of airships and those floating cthulhu pet enthusiasts.

Antarctic Experiment

"All in all, the experiment was a brilliant success, though it ran for a shorter time than desired.

Ultimately, the machine had to be shut down prematurely, else we might not have had enough crew to make it comfortably back to port. Over forty Russian tribesmen bravely gave their lives to science this day - a terrible tragedy as they will surely be expensive to replace.

Also lost was an entire crate of ether, carelessly dropped from the edge of a berg in the midst of today's activities - a tragedy on so many levels.

Nevertheless, we saw many wondrous and splendid things this day: creatures and landscapes from the aether danced and swam about us through the air, and we saw the laws of our world temporarily suspended by those of the aether world.

It leaves me to wonder: How closely does the placement of their world correspond with ours? Are these same creatures to be found elsewhere on our planet, or would we perhaps find other inhabitants should the machine be tested in new locations?

What sorts of variants or unique beasts might we see in other locations such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Indonesia, London or perhaps even New York City?

Needless to say, I am beyond eager to see!"

The Chiropterothopter is an aether-driven mechanical aparatus, made for the collection of blood samples from would-be targets; It is a handy tool for spying, scrying, cursing, or assassination - so easy to use that even a mere doctor of ancient metaphysics would say is only somewhat difficult. This replica is lovingly Hand-Crafted by Myke Amend. It involved many, many hours of work, and a lot of good materials. At an art show, or on hos site, this one would typically be priced at no less than $400. A need for some sort of sale has changed this for this week - don't let the low price fool you into thinking this is a low-quality item, as it is a personal favorite - very detailed, and a completely unique, one of a kind, something you'll never see again item. The piece does come apart - wings detach - revealing mechanical insides to the creature. Coffin: The wooden coffin is gilded with gold leaf, and the legs are solid brass. The interior accents are made of brass bits, clock parts, and ceramic polymer clay.Figure: The figure is meticulously crafted in intricate detail piece by piece. It is made of brass, clock parts, and polymer clay. Accents are done in hard enamel paints. This piece is not a toy, it is a sculpture, a work of art. It has tiny parts which children (or adults) can choke on.

Some Ghouls Wander by Mistake, by Myke Amend

Boyfriend pimping begins here: We've been without internets for a few days thanks to snow and the fact that our cable line is attached to the house with twine and broken bottle caps. But now we're all up and running and I can direct you to a new section in our Attic Shop. That would be here, behind this little linky here! I've made a variety of items from Myke's comic Some Ghouls Wander by Mistake. If you do not already have a copy of this smashing title, you can correct this problem by taking this link and grabbing a copy for yourself. Even if you have not, those who like their tee shirts and novelties with dark humor, mad scientists and steampunk cuties, these are products for you. So be a good lad or lass and pop on over and have a look around. Comments are welcomed, or suggestions for different designs. We're also beginning to put our dark valentines up for the approaching romantic day. Visit here or our etsy store over the next few weeks to see what we have to offer. Now off you go, have a good day, and make sure you give your sammich head kitty lots of love!
