About

This cabinet of curiosity was custom-made for a supporter of the Awesome ‘Possum Volume 4 Kickstarter. They wanted an occult theme, and I made a booklet to go with the cabinet so they would know exactly what they were looking at. There are twelve vials filled with assorted occult items, some hand-made, some new looks at real items.
