This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
To continue with the spookiness, a pair of guillotine earrings, roughly inspired by ones made in France around 1880, that reference obviously the French revolution. I've been making those for a few years, but they don't seem any less relevant nowadays.
It's made by hand, with a saw and a brass plate.
It's the fashion choice for when you want to get ahead.
Literally fashion that slays
revolutionary!
Nice for when you really want to look sharp.
They are lovely! Do you have a website or store?
I have an etsy page, I'm the process of reopening and refreshing it after a relatively long pause, but these are still available.
You can find it at murmuresmetalliques.etsy.com (I hope the link isn't against the community rules, I'll remove it if it is)
Excellent, thank you so much. I lost some hours this week. When I get disposable income, you're on my list. I can't wear pierced pieces, anymore, I intend to see if I can convert them somehow.
I mean, I can't guarantee that I wouldn't need some delays to adjust, but I'm always open to custom requests, and it would be possible to change the hook into a clamp, to make it a necklace, or whatever else.
If you want, you can also contact me to find a more suitable price, and I can see to adjust it a little.
Thank you so much. I'll wait until I have full price, depending on customs and tariffs, shipping. You deserve to be paid properly for your art work. Maybe something will come through. I'm trying to sort some way of getting more hours.
Are you in the US? If so, I haven't set up things yet, for now I'm sending within Europe, but I'll see how things work with delivery costs and tariffs.
And for the cost, we can always have a middle ground, but it's your choice, I'm just saying that I'm open for discussion.
Thank you. I really appreciate your generosity and kindness. It touches my spirit, deep inside, in the best kind of way. There are really good people, the world over, and thank you so very much for not letting the ugliness eclipse your light. We need it.
Yes, USA. Take your time. I'll work on things from my end. I think we make a fine team. Wishing you happiness and wellness.
Thank you for the kind words, hope we can work things out. You're welcome to contact me to request a craft whenever you'd like and we can discuss it more in detail.
Wishing you happiness and wellness as well, take care!
Perhaps a version with $ sign instead of the crown for a more modern meaning?
This goes SO fucking hard
I love this! The skull and crown are nice touches!
The original has engraved heads wearing a crown instead, but I wanted something a bit more "symbolic" rather than graphic (and also I can't engrave accurately to save my life :p)
I need something like this for our national kings day next year but dont wear earrings
It could be adapted into a necklace or something else. I would say that a keychain would also work if the metal was thicker
depending on how big it would be, I would totally be down for one!
Well, the size can be adjusted to be bigger, but they currently are around 3.5cm for the guillotine itself (so a bit longer with the skull/crown under, around 4.5cm).
Feel free to contact me on etsy if you want to work out the details and see what I can do to fit more what you'd like.
Badass
Earnings so cool they have their own earrings (pierced bottoms?).
I don't have earring holes in my ears... but I would wear the hell out of these! (Also, if I had a significant other that wear earrings and had the similar taste, I would buy these, no doubt!)
I might end up giving the option to have clamps instead of earring hooks, so that pierced ears are not a requirement. And/or possibly make a necklace version.
A sharp edge with guardrails.
Oooh, don't fall asleep with these on!
Magnificique!
