Quick update for the Bindlegrim summer sale of vintage-style lanterns!
The following 3 lanterns end tonight, July 7th, 2013. You can check back on the last blog entry to see more detailed specifics of which had greater or lesser stock.
1: The last lantern with this pane imagery - "The Haint House" (signed edition #2/5) was inspired by old vintage images of haunted houses - and there are 12 distinct images with doors, windows, and cracks, oozing with skeletons, ghosts, ghouls, witches, ghosts, bugs, snakes, zombies, and other Halloween oddities: The last HAINT HOUSE vintage style 12-side lantern #2/5 BINDLEGRIM Halloween art
2: The Cornish Litany (From Ghoulies and Ghosties and Long-leggety Beasties and All Things that go Bump in the Night, Good Lord deliver us!) Lantern (last of the green) and (with 12 postcards included) feature a host of scary characters in gothic settings terrorizing people. One early artist of these images featured a palette of green and purple, and inspired the color choices. Bindlegrim began work on Cornish Litany imagery in 2011 seen in Meister's collection "A Litany... Cornish and Otherwise": CORNISH LITANY vintage style LANTERN (Choose Color) & 12 POSTCARD SET Bindlegrim
3: The Pumpkin Patch (last of the yellow) was created with a focus on vine and leaf motifs to closely merge with the leaf and pumpkin design of the frame. The scene is midnight, deep in the brambles of the pumpkin patch, crawling with a number of spooky creatures staring back at you. And in the middle of all this one very scared little cottage: BOOK + PUMPKIN PATCH classic style HALLOWEEN lantern #5 BINDLEGRIM color choice
Wow, time is really flying and Halloween countdowns are popping up all over! That's pretty scary as I'm frantically finishing the proof for Sketchbook of Straw, and still hoping for a late September or very early October release (and watch news for some free copies to be given away)!
In the meantime, Bindlegrim is offering some of the limited edition lanterns that popped up ever so briefly during this past year! Some of these were held back for the Halloween season, and with so many desirable Halloween goodies out there right now, this may be a chance to get them at a good price. These lanterns end on ebay this Sunday night September 16th.
1:The Pumpkin Dream #4/5will be packaged together with the lantern and a copy of the book that gave it its name. This is one of three left with this particular pane imagery:
The lantern was inspired by scenes, characters, and dingbats from The Pumpkin Dream. And for images see the gallery below:
2:
The Haint House #5/5 was the very first lantern Bindlegrim offered, and it was pretty ferociously swept up (perhaps given its creepy content), and this is one of only two left with this particular pane
imagery:
This lantern was inspired by old vintage images of haunted houses - and there are 12 distinct images with doors, windows, and cracks, oozing with skeletons, ghosts, ghouls, witches, ghosts, bugs, snakes, zombies, and other Halloween oddities:
Wishing everyone a great autumn as you plan your decorating scheme for the upcoming holiday! I had a bit of fun creating this grouping here that features some of the many vintage items that have inspired me to create Halloween art, especially lanterns. Cheers!
