Farewell to Summer (Sale Final Week)

A gargantuous thank-you to all who attended this year's online summer sale of Bindlegrim's past designs 2013, and to those who shared with others... much appreciated...! Wrapping up the last week this Sunday August 10th, 2014 having bid farewell to much of the Creeps pictured below... except for the following:

1) Vintage-Style Halloween CREEPS #2/5 Silhouette Set Candy-Box Vellum-Eye Lantern

Vintage-style candy-container lanterns from the Creeps (Silhouette Version) #2/5 from a limited run of five signed and sealed during production. The same characters are also found on the 12-sided lantern in listing 2. The design features classic slot-and-tab containers to hold treats, and as an open-top box doubles in function as a lantern. I imagine these (in the photo I failed capture before all were sealed) set for a gruesome table of six at a cool ghoul Hallowe'en party. (You can see various photos of the Creeps here on flickr:

2) Vintage-Style Halloween CREEPS 2/5 Artist Signed 12-Pane Lantern Limited-Edition

The last available listing for this edition --- one vintage-style 12-sided lantern Creeps #2/5. If you've been keeping track of the 12-sided editions, this was #8 in the Bindlegrim series of lanterns (and was a special edition only for the 2013 year), with the panes inspired by the Creeps (Container-Lanterns). I imagine (again in that missed photo opportunity) this lantern hanging as centerpiece to the table of candy-boxes above listed. You can see various photos of the Creeps here on flickr:

Thank you again to all those who found new homes for the various Creeps (and other studio oddities) from the 2013 bindle of forgotten goods. I haven't a clue what will appear next year... but stay tuned for the new designs completing the Spooklight series at bindlegoods.bindlegrim.com. There's bound to be a few mysterious products that are created in the lab along the way... or perhaps even the remaining stock of Spooklights should they suffer discontinuing before next year's summer sale...

Spooklight Calendar 2014

If you are following Bindlegrim on facebook, flickr, or twitter you may have already caught a glimpse... but the ol' grumpy grim is indeed happy to unveil here even more preview images of designs coming out of the shadows for 2014...!

The new Spooklights series revisits and expands upon the 12-sided vintage-style lanterns of 2012, and this time around offers a variety of lantern/shade configurations with optional accessories that make these instantly ready for display. Please note that pane content imagery is forthcoming. For working models (shown here) some older imagery from a non-limited lantern (The Horrid Decor) was used for photographic purposes.

First on the calendar is the release of a table tea-light lamp (seen in the shadows above) that is shown above with the base and four-sided shade. The current idea is to release the line as components, the foreseeable decorating choices follow --- #1: the shade (which could be hung over your existing flicker-bulb lighting or placed on the shown base) or #2: the base (which can be used with the shade or simply alone as a candle holder).  No clear photos yet of the different base designs, but below is a glimpse of an early mock-up version to show the actual material without the murky shadows.

Second release during the 2014 calendar year will most likely be the Spooklights votive holder (which is akin to a brazier in its design). The various designs of the base extend eight legs to include such creaturs as octopi or spiders. The one shown here is the Cthlulu-esque sea-life version.

Third and/or Fourth on the list of the Spooklight series will be a combination of lantern and a wall post to provide a means of hanging it from your best location on the wall...! The 8-sided lantern is simply a smaller configuration of the 12-sided lanterns from 2012, and will offer new content for the panes. Bindlegrim is particularly excited about the horizontal hanging-post, as this will be a means to display vintage or non-vintage lanterns alike; imagine these down a hallway or bookends to a door or window. Below is a working mock-up (so exact visuals/mechanics may vary from the final product).

Well, that's the news for now - but this is only the beginning! If you were a fan of the Creeps from last year you will realize that one character The Haunted House was missing, and this largest of the set should also appear this year with even more vintage-style diversity to come. Stay tuned through one of these Bindlegrim media outlets: facebook, flickr, or twitter.

Cheers 2014!
