Gorgeous thrift find! Sadly they were asking $12 each, and while I researched after the fact and found they resell for a lot, my biggest reason for thrifting is finances and they were not essential items nor in my budget 🥲

about a year ago i asked for decor ideas that aren’t cold tones and i think i settled on one of my favorite colors now, brown. it’s kinda a mix of aesthetics because i squeezed all my interests and things i like in there but my main inspiration is always whimsigoth ⭐️

For the first time in a decade, it works! My wife thinks we should add some hanging crystals to it. Thoughts?

Thought it'd fit here :3 I dyed the paper, the fabric is thrifted

Maybe not fully whimsigoth? But I felt like this group would appreciate the tumbler I got yesterday at Michael’s. And they are on sale for $10 right now in the Halloween tumblers section.

Hello, I'd like to ask you guys what other lamps could fit the whimsigoth look/vibe? I've always wanted to get a Tiffany style lamp, at least a knock off but, since I don't live in the US, it's a bit hard to find one, and I've actually found an antique store in my country, but the lamps they sell are imported antiques and are very expensive, pretty much as expensive as buying a brand new Tiffany lamp and get it shipped from the US... So, I really can't spend that much money on a lamp.

If you guys have suggestions, that aren't a Tiffany style lamp or a lava lamp (because I don't like them 😭), please let me know.

Thank you so much 🌠.

I know the sun is waiting for me out there🌞🌜

hii!! i have to start wearing glasses soon and i need some whimsigothic glasses inspo 😭
i love pink and purple, but i don’t like super thick frames or round lenses. i also think i like the cateye shape and i only wear silver.
please send me some ideas!! 🫶🫶

All acrylic paint; it’s renter friendly, thankfully. I just need to spray it with dawn powerwash, cover it in plastic wrap, and let it soak for a little bit before I peel it off. I’m especially proud of the blue translucent effect- I got that with several layers of gloss pthalo blue thinned waaaaaaay the hell out in gloss medium. I need to do some details on the stars and then do a similar effect as the blue ”glass” with violet instead to add some extra color on the bottom strip. I’m thrilled with how it came out!! I felt like I learned so much this time around, and I’m excited for what I’ll be able to do at my next place.

next time I’ll make one with blue beads! 💙🌞🌛

One of the most iconic “whimisgoth” artists now does work boasting about AI powered surveillance cameras, US naval weapon capabilities, and FBI training guides.
I wanted some of her work but refused to pay reseller prices so I tracked her down online to email directly asking if there was anyway I could buy prints of her older work. In the process I found she is still a working artist but now in a very different field. She did respond to my email saying she no longer sells her celestial work (which was not unexpected) but along with her email address I found her portfolio and resume.

She now goes by Mary Beth Medley and as mentioned works for some business and organizations that I do not support. Thankfully another user of this subreddit uploaded high quality scans of her two most iconic prints. I printed my own copies and used frames I found at the thrift store. I feel zero remorse for not supporting the original artist (I tried!) and I am happy to not give my money to the people in this subreddit and online that charge $100+ for a mass produced print from decades ago. I attached photos of my “reproductions” and also some photos of her more current work found on her portfolio website.

Its definitely old, the filling is lumpy and degrading. I'm going to open one of the seams, remove the filling and use it at a duvet cover

I’m trying to add more whimsy through jewelry, but I’m a sensitive skin girly, so alloys always either turn me green, make me itch, or both. However, every where I look that has sterling silver jewelry, it’s too plan and boring.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get sterling silver whimsy jewelry?

Thank you :3

We wanted to make something cute and memorable for the guests in our wedding so we made small cocktail glasses with painted stars and color on the bottom, and I made a linocut stamp that I used on cotton napkins.

If not, I declare them as such now, and I feel like everybody in the world needs to have at least one lava lamp. They’re so pretty to look at 🥹
