“When I was five years old, my parents gave me a magic chest. I learned to cast spells, although of a childish kind, before I had learned to read and write.” ~Wolfgang Hildesheimer

The 303rd in a series of OOAK "aLterED" creations from the dArK cobwebbed filled hemisphere of my brain. Creation date: June 2, 2009 Signed
For your consideration, Harry, the Great.
This little wooden chest of drawers measures 12 x 7 1/4 x 4 inches and has undertones of blue, distressed and painted black. The two doors are blue with paintings of the sun, moon and clouds. On the right door is a lock, on the left is a key attached to a beaded wire. Inside the chest you'll find Harry Houdini, amongst other things.
Harry measures 5 3/4 inches tall and his bones are made of "aged" plastic. Harry is "wearing" an aged pair of "shorts" and is bound in silver chains with a brass lock. I'm sure he'll escape soon as he was brillant in his execution of this feat! Completing this creation are the following items: various aged signs, an aged photo of Harry, various playing cards and a hanging rusted chain with rusty bell attached (listen for the bell to ring, perhaps Harry has escaped!). In the drawer is a description of Harry, "King of Handcuffs," by the Houdini Magical Hall of Fame and a key. In the other drawer is an aged card and aged sign.
This chest can be used to store your magical items!!
Please note that this dark & lovely decoration can take up precious space on any flat surface (preferably in your home) & would make a lovely addition to any home if you appreciate the eclectic side of life!
If you have a question, please feel free to scratch a note to me via email and I would be more than deliriously happy to respond.

=Special order, please allow 2 weeks for me to craft this item=
This is my latest design, in which I combined a heart locket, with the beauty of brass filigree.
Gorgeous intricate patterns of flowers, birds and other victorian motiffs decorate all the filigree parts of the choker, while numerous Swarovski crystals and pearls sparkle in olivine, bronze and golden colours.
The locket is adorned by a beautiful rose, and is completely functional, allowing a small photo or solid perfume to be kept inside. All the beads are Swarovski, including the olivine baroque pendant hanging from the locket.
Its length is 32-40 cm (12.5-15.5 inches) but can be made longer or shorter upon request.
All components are nickel and lead free, brass filigree, brass stampings and genuine Swarovski crystal.

Pillbox Designs is yet another alter ego for my better half and I. We have been in business for about 6 years under the names Pillbox Tales (Our lighter Side) and Immortal Tales (Our Darker Side). We both are creative people and enjoy making things. Both were online retail shops that catered to the alternative scenes including Rockabilly, Goth and Indie. We retailed clothing, shoes and accessories from various manufacturers, as well as our own line of custom made Corsets, clothing and T-shirts. Our professional and private lives forced us to close our doors in 2007. Now we are back and ready to create again.
Pillbox Designs started as an idea to create Vinyl Wall Graphics that suited our lifestyle and of people like us. In the coming months we will be gradually adding designs and if you don't see a design you like or have an idea that you have to have let us know and we will work with you to make it happen.

Designed for elegant ladies in the steampunk set, this mini top hat is inspired by Victorian riding hat designs, but with a neo-mechanical flair.
This hat is made of black felt, measuring 5.5 inches long by 4.75 inches wide, including the brim. It is adorned with a large "pad" of feathers in tan with dark brown accent feathers, a two-tone style of pad that we have only in limited supply. The band is made of glittery coppery-tan tulle and forms a bow at the back of the hat with short tulle tendrils that hang down the back.
The hat is finished with a hand-made steampunk adornment, of watch gears and cogs hand-set in resin in the back of a vintage clear watch crystal with brass-colored edging. Each of our steampunk adornments is one of a kind. The photos show one example of our adornments. Please look at our blog at joeireedhats.livejournal.com for other examples, or send us a convo to see a photo of specific pieces we currently have in stock.
The hat is sewn to a hair comb, in a style called a fascinator, for easy attachment to any hairstyle. All adornments are hand-sewn and securely attached.
This hat is MADE TO ORDER. It will be custom made when your order is received, which can take up to a week.

This is a one of a kind upcycled steampunk jacket from re-Shawked Stitches. I took a brown velvet blazer and adorned it will vintage laces, trims, and other goodies. I also relined the jacket in a dictionary print silk lining. It closes with 4 black large snaps and have keys for decoration. It also laces up at the back waist to give a fitted look if you like. It was inspired by a mix of Victorian and military. I make other versions of these but each one is truly one of a kind. Lots of hand sewing goes into making sure everything in impeccably placed. This is a great jacket for fall and winter!
This is a S/M sized jacket.
Measures:
Flat across chest 18.5.
waist: 16
shoulder to shoulder: 15.5
shoulder to wrist: 24 (not including lace)
Let me know if you need any other measurements!
