Here’s a mid century Moravian star light that I got for my birthday the other week. I have been wanting an old one for some time, they are so pretty. We hung it in my studio and I love it!

Hey there! I’m the face behind all of the bones that you see here. Thanks for following me.
I’m a dark surrealist painter and find inspiration in all things spooky. I’m from historic Bucks County PA where I live and work in an old brick schoolhouse circa 1861. The Schoolhouse is not haunted. 👻
