Attention Customers:
We are now taking pre-orders for this year's Labyrinth Ornaments!
Offered for the first time, and will be very limited!
Each hand-painted ornament is made of a 1" iridescent glass bubble, features "Labyrinth" in silvery-white movie-based print on the front, and a pale colored barn owl on the back. All will be finished with an assortment of white, ivory, and silver ribbons, and embellished with beads. These are much cuter in real life, our photos don't do them justice! (Our pictures turned out a little blurry- we're working on better ones.) Makes the perfect gift for a fan of the movie, or keep it for yourself!
Each double-sided ornament is $17 each, and we offer discounts on multiples shipped to the same address. Each is carefully packaged to arrive safely and will be sent insured. Shipping costs are not included- feel free to email us for an estimate.
If interested in one, please email us with your name, number of ornaments you'd like, and shipping address (don't forget country if outside the U.S!). You do not need to send any money until your ornament is ready to ship (early to mid-December), and we can accept Personal Checks, Money Orders, International Money orders, and Paypal payments.
Eye Lichen Wall Mount
Eye-Lichen are the little clumps of eyeballs and moss growing on the stone walls of the labyrinth maze. Are they Jareth's spies, or just simple-minded lifeforms? No one but the Goblin King himself knows, but we've managed to strike a bargain with one of the King's dwarven gardeners, and have secured a colony of glittery eye-lichen to grow for ourselves. All lichen of this strain have medium brown eyes.
Two sizes of Eye Lichen Clusters are currently offered:
Small 3-Stalk Plaque: Large 7-Stalk Plaque:
Overall dimensions are approximately:
5" x 5" x 4" (12.5 cm x 12.5 cm x 10 cm) 8" x 8" x 7" (20 cm x 20 cm x 17.5 cm).
***Able to drive down the price by offering the dwarf some plastic trinkets, we can now offer both sizes at reduced prices; only $39.99 for the small cluster, and $49.99 for the large cluster!***
Both sizes are available Glittery, or Non-Glittery:
These clusters look wonderful together- position two clusters near each other in your Labyrinth collectibles, or hang the smaller plaque a few inches above or below and to the side of the larger. And for those of you who'd like to accquire both, we are offering a discount for a limited time: order both plaques, at the same time and in the same colors, for only $79.99. That's a $10 dollar savings! Shipping not included, please email Andrea for more information and estimates.
Please Note: Each cluster is hand-grown and tended to, and therefore slight variations will be present in each. This does not detract from the overall quality, just gives your little guys personality.
Coming Soon: Jumbo 21-stalk Eye Lichen cluster!
Jareth's Crescent Necklace
Finally, there is an attractive, smaller replica of his necklace available to grace your neck. Made of silver-tone wire with a golden colored center, this crescent-shaped necklace measures approximately 1 1/8" wide by 1 1/4" tall, and is ready to string on your favorite necklace or a simple black cord. We can also make them in gold-tone wire with a silver center (not pictured). Only available to those who know the importance and power of his royal necklace..

Goblin Necklace
Is this little guy sticking his tongue out at you? Perhaps, but put him 'round your neck and have him laugh at others as you stroll through your day. Each 1" pendant is cast in lead-free antiqued pewter, and comes strung on a black cord necklace, ready to wear! Makes a great gift for a friend, or add him to your favorite charm bracelet! Each just $10- free shipping to continental U.S. ! **PLEASE NOTE: We only have a small handful of these until later this spring 2006!**
"Birthright" Feather Quill Pen
Though we have a webpage just for feather pens, this specific one just had to be shown here! This pen is a favorite of mine. Thoughtfully designed to represent many aspects of the movie Labyrinth and of the Goblin King himself, "Birthright" is meant to be the royal pen he would use for all of his writing- whether sending a written letter of notice banishing one of his subjects to the Bog of Eternal Stench, or ordering a new outfit for the upcoming Masquerade of Jareth Ball.
"Birthright" is made using a vintage (pre-1950's) soft ivory-tone goose wing quill, meant to symbolize the barn owl that he changes into. Jareth's royal crescent-shaped pendant, featured in silver and two shades of gold, even shows the little sideways-8 figure that symbolizes infinity. The Labyrinth maze is hand-painted in silver behind the pendant, and tapers upward to end about half way up the feather. Three small silver dots end the tip of the feather. The handle is the natural ivory colored shaft of the feather, barbs removed, and is filled for stability and durability. A vintage, silver-plated writing nib made by Barion Pen Co., and a goldtone finger rest finishes the handle. Measures a little over 13" long, unisex. $30, this pen will be strictly limited to a series of 3. Pen pictured has been sold, 2 identical others can still be made upon request.
"Crystal" Balls and Wooden Practice Balls
For those of you who've dreamt of learning Michael Moschen's (a.k.a Jareth's) mesmerizing trick, these may be the thing for you! Through an outside supplier, we are able to offer these beautiful, nearly shatterproof acrylic polymer crystal balls, and solid maple wooden balls.
Acrylics- Because they're made of acrylic- not glass- these guys are tough. They're completely clear, and unlike quartz crystal balls, are free of any distortions or "floaties" inside. (Also pictured in our "Going Underground" picture at the top of the page!) Available in clear and various colors, in different sizes. Check back often, as different colors can become available. (Current colors available are listed).
Sizes, Prices, and Colors Available:
Clear Crystals: 2.50" (6.35 cm) $20, 2.75" ( 7.00 cm) $30, 3.00" ( 7.60 cm) $35, 4.00" (10.20 cm) $105
Transparent Colored Crystals (Garnet Red, Aqua Blue, and Amethyst Purple currently available): 2.50" (6.35 cm) $35, and 3.00" (7.60 cm) $55
Black Crystals: 2.5" (6.35 cm) $20, 3.00" (7.60 cm) $35
UV Crystals (Clear with slight blue tint, reacts to blacklight): 2.5" (6.35 cm) $30, 3.00" (7.60 cm) $55
Glow-in-the-dark Crystals: 2.5" (6.35 cm) $20, 3.00" (7.60 cm) $35
Wooden Balls- Made of solid maple, these little guys are perfect for beginners practicing juggling tricks, or for those not yet sure if they want to invest in a trio of acrylics. Warning- the wooden balls are slightly heavier than the acrylics, they're a bit painful if dropped on toes while practicing!
Sizes and Prices Available:
2.5" (6.35 cm) $5, 2.75" (7.00 cm) $6.50, 3.0" (7.60 cm) $7.50
Shipping not included in prices. Email me with the number and sizes of crystal and/or wooden balls you'd like to purchase, your City, State, Zipcode and Country (if overseas) for an estimate.

Wreaths
A Labyrinth-themed wreath, complete with three glass balls, a trio of eye litchen, a fake peach, and an assortment of "owl" feathers. Made for my own collection, the wreath pictured below is not for sale, though similar ones can be made upon request. Most wreaths will range between $30-$80 each based on size and style. Please email for details.
Walking Sticks and Staffs
We sell custom-made staffs through TCD, but we're offering more custom-made, Labyrinth-inspired staffs here.
Here is our first- a white, spiraled wooden staff that is breathtaking. A Dow Channeling Transmitter quartz crystal shaft (with phantoms!) serves as the finial, and is ringed with snow-white marabou feather trim. A small mirror set beneath the crystal ensures that any light entering it is reflected back up through the crystal, making it absolutely glow. Five styles of cording grace the staff, and gold-plated bells, eight different types of beads and three types of feathers also go into the making.
Designed by Andrea Brink with the final conflict between Jareth and Sarah in the Escher room in mind, we call it the "Lady Fae" staff. But don't let the name fool you, this staff can be used by men or women. (Picture Jareth in the white outfit holding this staff in one hand, a crystal ball in the other.) Other staffs are in the concept stage, and as all are custom-made, please email Andrea for prices and more information.
Below: Piece-by-piece shots of the finished staff (they overlap a little bit), and close-ups of a few of its elements.
The Phantom Quartz Crystal and mirror.
The beautiful spiraled wood that is the base.
The cords and beading.
Small golden bells and a silver "tassle" end two of the cords.
The Copper piece that protects the foot of the staff from wear and chipping. The bottom 6" of the staff is coated in a polyurethane sealant to help protect against dirt, dust, and grass stains.
Now for a bit of fun!
Here is Mike, dressed as Sir Didymus on the last day of the 2005 Maryland Renaissance Festival. Children, teenagers, and adults alike loved him! One little girl got her picture taken with him (it was her birthday!)
Disclaimer:
I do not own the Labyrinth, or any of its characters therein. I am offering these hand-made crafts and products to those who share my love of the movie, because I love the movie.
