Michelle Scrimpsher is an artist who has brought the dark side to this holiday season with ornaments that deviate from candy canes and Santa Claus.
Michelle Scrimpsher's ornaments aren't the usual happy, festive decor pieces most are use to. Instead, each piece takes on a macabre theme that's beautiful, artistic and an interesting alternative to conventional festive decor. A few are shaped like organs such as the Black Heart, while others are inspired by horror literature such as the Cuthlu which is influenced by H.P. Lovecraft. Each piece was beautifully hand sculpted by Scrimpsher and it's clear that a lot of work was put into each one.
These ornaments will bring a hauntingly beautiful look to the tree.
