It is that time of year again… 🎄the holiday s

It is that time of year again… 🎄the holiday season is upon us once more! ☠️ As we settle into our favorite traditions, and write our Victorian death-themed Christmas cards, our thoughts may turn to what gifts to get our loved ones. It has been a stressful year for us all, so why not add a bit of cheer by purchasing some macabre goodies!

From memorial keepsakes to matching Christmas skull hand towels, we have something for everyone!

Yes, we know it is the holiday season. No, we don’t care that this is very Halloween-themed art. ⁠👻⁠

CW: If the idea of dead bodies makes you uncomfort

CW: If the idea of dead bodies makes you uncomfortable, this will not be for you!! This post has images of a dead man in his coffin.

We have grown so distant from death that the sight of a dead body, even through our computer screens, makes us uncomfortable.

When Kimmo Metsaranta’s grandfather passed away in 2014, she made sure she was present during every moment past death; dressing her grandfather and preparing him for the funeral.

Quoting Metsaranta on why she photographed the process: “Looking at the pictures now takes me back to the moment of seeing him in the coffin. In the pictures he seems to be at ease. And there still is that sense of presence. In some way I feel a lot closer to him now than I ever did before.”

@rag_and_bone_dolls is an artist based out of New England. Her work pulls from nature, dreams, and folk tales. Her obsessive fascination with the past, and the beauty and importance of decay pervades her thoughts and haunts her work.

“The first dolls I created came about in an attempt to exorcise characters, ideas and stories out of my head that had been haunting me for years.

They were very rough little sculptures made from twigs and string and wire and rope. Every time a character took form and existed in the physical world, another would take its place and demand to be seen and held.

Slowly, slowly the rudimentary little heaps became characters with faces and limbs. Ragged little beings who'd been forgotten and neglected in the way-up-high attic of my brain.

Whose eyes beg to be listened to.

They clutch their rags.

They whisper their story."
