Heaven's Vault @heavensvlt - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to Heaven’s Vault, a project that has been a long time in the making.

As an artist based in Massachusetts, I grew up playing around old graveyards and ivy covered buildings. I had my own little world of tombstones, old brick, and light pouring through gaps in the leaves.

I am currently making art and accessories inspired by tomb monuments for gothic fashion, egl, or anyone who wants a little reminder of their mortality.

my shop is now open at www.heavensvault.net

I finally picked up some nice vibrant floss colors

These are likely going to be brooches/necklaces

Shop update is live! I really love these brooches and the different motifs I used. I took a lot of inspiration from nature, drawing from bones to grapevines to the night sky. These pieces are ready to find their final resting place.

Memento Mori, Fugit Hora

If I had to pick my favorite gravestone, it would probably be John Foster's. A few years ago I noticed it at the MFA. I've had it in the back of my mind since then. Just as much as the stone, Foster's epitaph has stuck with me.

I pray you ascend beyond the sky; may you measure the highest heaven.

This piece is a stylized interpretation of his headstone.

While larger than most of what work l've put out at about 4x3" | had to remove some motifs from the central carving due to lack of space.

Im not sure how exactly I'm going to mount it but this will be a display piece rather than a wearable

I have much more cadaver synod art left in me

my hair is green again. also thank you @heavensvlt for my favorite pin of all time. I put it on my favorite sheer shrug so now it looks like a tombstone amongst the flowers instead of just flowers.

#thank you for giving it a good home!
