Some samples from the next Bajema's Web collections I'm about to release, as well as some new collage work
Myke and I have been putting together. Myke's also been hard at work at some custom and very artsy goggle designs,
which you can get a sample of in his flickr account, found here.

We've got a new purse design up in our Etta Diem Etsy store. This is the Cthulhu Crush Box Purse, Version I. The purse features Bajema's Professor Vogel's Reading Machine, the Bird Room, Poison and Blossoms, the Calcutta Flower Song, and of course the Cthulhu Crush. Only two of these have been made, one to offer and one to keep in our box purse collection. Other versions of the purse may be made using this art, but there will not be another one like this. So consider it a limited edition collectible.

http://www.ettadiem.com | http://ettadiem.etsy.com

As it says on our Etsy store page, we're willing to make custom designed box purses using any of the art found on either Bajema's or Myke's websites. Just scoot us an email at ettadiem at gmail.com with the titles of the artwork you'd like to see turned into a purse ;)

NOTE: This is a pre-sale for the Bajema's Web Collectons II, Etta Diem book. Please note that this book will not ship until it arrives from the publisher the first of May 2009. The pre-sale offers special extras that are available only through the pre-sale, but I want to stress that the book will not actually ship until it arrives in May. Thank you for noting that, and now without further ado...

Bajema's Web Collections II: Etta Diem
The name sake for our brand and shop has her own collection! My second collection of work introduces my character Etta Diem with new artwork and writing all done in Miss Diem's somewhat antique and eccentric style, and all of the art and writing she is involved with as a Snapdragon Tea character.

This collection includes Etta's encyclopedia of Harmful Sensation, her mostly true stories of the strange and quirky (like the tale of the prostitute popular during the Jack the Ripper times, who was singled out by her chattering teeth... that didn't happen to be in her mouth) and a variety of other dark humor tales from Victorian times. The collection also includes a new series of steampunk/dark fantasy styled art that had not been seen as of yet.

The pre-sale includes:
01: A discounted purchasing price of the book, $16.66 instead of the $24.00 regular selling price, plus shipping.

02: Three metallic prints of work in the book that will only be available through this pre-sale offer.

03: A small, hand drawn original doodle that will be yours and yours alone.

04: And lastly, like the first pre-sale for book one, the first forty issues will be signed and numbered. These will also have a limited edition alternative cover for the book (seen in this preview of the book cover).

As mentioned above this is a pre-sale. My book is set to be delivered to me the first of May 2009 and all pre-sale books will go out when they arrive. This is a good way to nab a copy of collection two at a discounted price with a few limited edition perks. The first sale went quickly and sold out so I recommend taking advantage of the sale the sooner the better.

And for those of you who nabbed a copy of the first collection I give you my many many thanks. I'm currently waiting for the second printing of my first book to arrive and when they do the first one will be available again.

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.

To purchase, please follow this link.
