Gretel Tapestries
Description: The house is made of candy. The hostess is suspicious. The exit policy remains unclear. “Sweet Temptations — Enter at Your Own Risk” brings a dark fairy tale to Halloween. A crooked woodland cabin boasts candy-corn roof tiles, twisted licorice columns, colorful sweets, and glowing jack-o’-lanterns. At the open door, a wicked witch extends a bare hand full of treats. Gnarled trees, mushrooms, autumn leaves, and a little skull complete this deliciously questionable invitation. For witch lovers, Halloween enthusiasts, dark fantasy fans, and anyone who remembers that Hansel and Gretel should have packed a lunch. Rich orange, cream, and purple details blend storybook charm with sinister seasonal humor. Excellent curb appeal. Terrible guest re
Description: "Lediggang er roten til alt ondt" or "Vacancy is the root of all evil" is a 1898 illustration by Norwegian artist, Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914). This odd illustration shows a root vegetable (presumably a carrot) smoking a cigarette, heedlessly sauntering through some ants as they are constructing something. Theodor Severin Kittelsen is one of the most popular artists in Norway and is well-known for his nature paintings, as well as for his illustrations of fairy tales and legends, especially of trolls.
