Comforting and soft.

Ever since I was little, I found great comfort in stuffed animals and the cuddles they give. They were always there, through thick and thin, through disappointments and sadness, through triumphs and joyous times. Always there. And I love them for that. I'm forever greatful, in fact, which is why I started making my version of them at one point. Until one day when I became convinced I was too old to make stuff like that. "What will people think?". It made me so unhappy, of course, because making quirky things is a part of who I am, and an important part of what makes me happy. So, after a while, I said to myself:"me, you know what people will think? There goes a happy person!". So this is an ode to all the things that makes us happy, no matter if it is socially accepted or not (granted you don't hurt anyone else or yourself of course!!). Do your thing and be yourself and f*** the unnecessary bulls*** ! It's not only okay, but in fact it is required for you to be yourself at this point in time! So let's make like scruffy cuddle kitty, and stride with pride!

The Skull Bank - the blog!

Hi there, and welcome to The Skull Bank's new blog! I'm so glad you decided to have a look.

It has been little over a year since I started my etsy shop, but the name "The Skull Bank" is new. The name I started out with was "Tiny Ox", because I'm born in the Taurus' starsign, love oxes and also you have to start somewhere, am I right?! 

But, it didn't feel quite right, in fact The Skull Bank seemed a much better fit, because:

1) I like to make skull art (amongst other things - just art in general), like drawings and pendants and so forth, and the thought was that it could be somewhat of a storage space for skulls of different kinds (and so many other things, of course).

2) It represents all the ideas, fantasies, (day)dreams and emotions that me and you and everyone else carry within ourselves in our own skull banks, so to speak (cheesy, but true, ha ha).

And that latter point is what made me want to start this blog; because all those things are what gets me creating in the first place; not to mention that it's fun and IS THE WHOLE POINT IN ITSELF!

So, with the help of a few magic wands:

I declare this blog's existence! Hurray!
