We may be past the official bauble season, but this grenade decoration from DaWanda was too pretty not to share. The all around brilliance of the grenade watch from Vestal and, of course, the infamous Pac Man Grenade, also deserve attention.
Pretty and deadly weapons really fascinate me--in particular grenades. I am clearly not alone as grenades appear to come in all forms, including oil lamps, street art stencils (such as the Dolk grenade head), lighters and even a bad arse personal safety alarm rather brilliantly constructed from charms.
