Promotional shoot for “Bow & Crossbones” Jewellery and Accessories
Model: Michelle Lally.
Thanks to John Knight for his ’50 V8 Pilot and all at Shakespeare County Raceway.
One of the things I love about London is the history you find right next to the modern. Crossbones Cemetery is one such place for me, just found a few days ago: bost.org.uk/crossbones-graveyard. The view of the Shard (the tallest building in the city) brings old and new together.
Cross Bones Graveyard in Southwark began life as a burial ground for licenced prostitutes or Winchester Geese and eventually became a pauper's graveyard. Apparenetly it is still dense with the bones of the dead. This odd little shrine has accumulated with offerings from local people. It is an odd and moving place . I think the site is up for development...and controversially seeing its history.
Okay, I made this hat because I wanted to crochet the logo of my sister's clothing company, freaksncream.com. And I totally did it! Success! Its a cupcake skull with crossbones.
I made the pattern up as I was sitting in the car in the desert while my husband rode his dirt bike. haha.
For sale in my etsy shop, see my profile for link.

A garden in the making: an estimated 15,000 people, mostly prostitutes and poor people, are buried in a small patch of land a stone's throw from London Bridge. Not so long ago, Transport for London wanted to get its hands on the plot; now it's becoming a quirky green space to enjoy and remember. On the railings facing the street, people have put up ribbons and home-made votives to remember those long dead, and friends and relatives lost more recently too.
One-of-a-kind, hand-crafted leash hanger. My original artwork is printed and decoupaged onto a sturdy wooden plaque and then sealed with several coats of satin varnish. This leash hanger features a cream and brown skull and crossbones pattern, dog bone accent with a coordinating print, and is finished off with two satin nickel knobs.
Skull and crossbones on the memorial to John How 1688
"Heare lyeth the body of John How of this parish - formely a marener who dayed a husbandman the 26th Day of January 1688. Memento Mori"
( A husbandman was a small-scale tenant farmer who ranked just below a yeoman in rural social status. They were essentially the "average farmers" of their local communities, working modest plots of land primarily to sustain their own families.
The term comes from the old meaning of "husband" (from the Old Norse hūsbōndi), which meant a "householder" or "master of the house" rather than a married man, combined with the verb "to husband," meaning to till or cultivate the soil.

Crossbones Cemetery, Redcross Way, Southwark.
A cemetery for prostitutes licensed (pimped) by the Bishops of Winchester Palace in Southwark. When they died, after years of paying their dues to the church from their work, they were buried in this unconsecrated ground by the bishops. Later it became a burial ground for paupers, still unconscrated. It is believed that there are 15,000 people, men women and children buried here.
Since Talk Like A Pirate Day is in two days, I figured it would be a good time to upload this one. ;)
The charm is made from silver-toned metal cube letter beads, a pewter Jolly Roger flag charm with skull and crossbones, two round red glass beads, and red and black enameled copper wire (this makes the cell phone charm stiff).
At the end is a black cell phone strap, allowing it to be connected to a phone, Nintendo DS, or any kind of mobile or electronic device with a spot to hang a charm.
The entire charm is about 5 1/4" (13.3 cm) long from end of the cell phone strap to bottom of the flag, but the beaded and flag part itself is about 2 3/4" (7 cm) long. The strap and metal bit under it is about 2 1/2" (6.4 cm) long and just the strap is 2" (5.1 cm) long.

Week's holiday in Malta based in Sliema.
St. Johns Co-Cathedral was built by the Knights of Malta between 1573 and 1578, having been commissioned in 1572 by Grand Master Jean de la Cassière as the conventual church of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller of St John, known as the Knights of Malta. The church is considered to be one of the finest examples of high Baroque architecture in Euro

The east wall has diagonal buttresses and a three-light window. Along the top is a parapet, in the centre of which is a sundial. This is inscribed with the words "We shall", and skulls and crossbones; on its summit are hourglasses. At the ends of the parapet are urn finials.
All Saints' church is all that remains of the medieval village of Kedleston, razed in 1759 by Sir Nathaniel Curzon to make way for the magnificent Kedleston Hall.
Today, the hall is a beautiful National Trust property and you can easily combine a trip to both attractions at once. The Curzon family has lived at Kedleston for 700 years and their stunning memorials - created by several famous designers including Robert Adam - fill the church. The grandest was erected in 1909, commissioned by Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, for his wife Mary. A dazzling marble tomb -- with lifesize figures and watching angels -- floats on a sea of green translucent quartz in its own little chapel with superb stained glass windows.
Another monument from 1456 shows Sir John Curzon in full armour with his wife and their two dogs. Essentially thirteenth century, with a classical east end, All Saints is filled with fine fittings including oak box pews, pulpit and communion rails. However, its oldest feature is the Norman south doorway, which has zigzag moulding and grotesque bird heads.
Look out for the carving of the fiendish little cares of horseman and wild beasts that glare out at you just above the door!

Exterior
The church is constructed in sandstone with Welsh slate roofs. Its plan is cruciform, with a central tower over a crossing, a nave with a north chapel, north and south transepts, a chancel with a clerestory, and a north vestry. The south doorway is Norman in style, having a round-headed arch decorated with a zigzag pattern, enclosing a tympanum with weathered carvings of beasts. To the right of the doorway are two two-light windows with flat arches. Each transept is buttressed and has a window consisting of three stepped lancets. In the south wall of the chancel is a priest's door, with a lancet window on the left, and a two-light window under a flat arch to the right. In the clerestory are two-light windows in both the south and the north walls. The east wall has diagonal buttresses and a three-light window. Along the top is a parapet, in the centre of which is a sundial. This is inscribed with the words "We shall", and skulls and crossbones; on its summit are hourglasses. At the ends of the parapet are urn finials. In the north wall of the chancel is a two-light window, and the north wall of the vestry has two paired lancet windows. The chapel has three bays separated by buttresses. In each bay is a three-light window under which are three trefoils acting as ventilators. Along the parapet is the inscription "QUIA MULTUM AMAVIT". The west wall has diagonal buttresses and a three-light window. Above this is a lancet window in the gable. The tower is in two stages. In the lower stage are two lancet windows, and in the upper stage are two-light bell openings on each side. The summit has a battlemented parapet, with crocketted pinnacles at the corners.
This is from a church at Cabra crossroads where a modern high cross has a skull and crossbones on one its base panels.
