A collection of photos of dead victorians. Be careful, they are heart breaking. From Boing Boing.

Rachael Matthews, one of the organizers of Cast Off and author of Knitorama (remember the knitted hand grenades?), has a new crochet book: Hookorama! Projects include fantastic burlesque costumes to wear at the circus, easy to make essential accessories for the modern home, a crocheted cover for your bicycle seat and more.

No, not grave robbing - grave rubbing. A great how-to-description of the art of gravestone rubbing appears on Mistress McCutchan's Morbid Outlook website. Did you know that there is also a term for the study of mortality? See the Center for Thanatology.
They have printed a bone-chillingly graphic guide to cemeteries in all 5 boroughs.

Bath bomb fizz, and cauldron bubble. * Who knew Bath bombs were so easy. Thank you Cat Morley and Craft.

What an amazing book! Craftivity is absolutely gorgeous and totally inspiring. Tsia and all of the contributors have done an incredible job presenting creative, original DIY projects. All readers of the SuperNaturale site should most certainly not only check it out but help spread the word. Be sure to tell your friends, colleagues and family about the book.

. . . So I got to do a podcast interview with this really cool lady named Tsia about her new book. You should give it a listen.

Amanda and I went to Disney land while in LA last weekend and noticed this guy walking around the park pushing a stroller.

So I come home and do a search for "chainmail mickey mouse ears" and find this thread on The Ring Lord.

I've since shown the picture to the guy. It's a small world afterall.

Ever since my first issue of Sassy mysteriously appeared in my mailbox in 7th grade, my love affair with independent publishing has only grown deeper and more true. If you have a similar afflication for zines / magazines / newspapers / journals of the offbeat and distinctively individualistic variety, I would seriously consider spending a long afternoon at the Megazines exhibit at the Visionaire gallery at 11 Mercer Street. "An exhibition of rare back issues, out-of-print titles, and the best of contemporary independent publishing."
Seriously, it's phenomenal. The first issue of Interview! I-D when it was a zine! Nest, U&LC, Tokion, Permanent Food, Butt, 032C, Eros, Flair!!! Go before it closes on Nov. 3.
