The Batlings revolted after I left them cooped up in my sewing room over the holiday. They're demanding new homes, now! Fine, just because I didn't check on them for one, well, I guess technically two days... sheesh.
Batlings, among other goodies, are currently marked down and in the sale SALE sale section. Get them before they fly off!

Okay so I can't give my nieces zombies for Christmas (yet). Well, one of them might be down with the zombies and other creepy cuteness but her mother would not. So, moving on! Here are a couple of the cuddly-sugarplum-cute *twitch* I attempted for this holiday.
What do you think? Personally, I think they border on maniacal but maybe that's just me. And, if so, I didn't mean for it, they just happened that way. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hopefully my sis/sis in law won't lock them away in a closet somewhere. Or, me.

If you missed the first two from my super fun custom order, you can find Capt Hammer & Dr Horrible in this post. Here are the rest as promised!
I'm pretty sure it all started with this guy and went horribly, horribly wrong from there. The Not-so-fresh traditional zombie. Check out those delish "leather" (aka embossed felt) pants! Just don't get too close, he looks kinda hungry.
Next up, we've got another crazed Santa on the loose...
...and his Elf-y minion! If you hear a jingle bell chiming... RUN.
Ahwoooo! Man, that is one pissed off Burlesque Girl and I'd steer clear if I were you. One minute she putting on the best burly show of her life and the next thing she knows her rabid fans, well, turned out to be truly rabid.
(See the back view here.)
And, here's the poor little nerd that just wanted to see what was under those black rosettes. His mom's going to kill him over the state of his clothes! At least he didn't break his glasses or loose his pocket protector [Yes, I really made a miniature pocket protector].
Happy Holidays! xx ~Static
This was definitely the most fun custom zombie ornament request I've had to date. It all started with Party Girl Teri (in the black dress on the right). Apparently she whispered sweet nothings about me to her new owner. Who then decided she needed a small army of Zombies for her office Christmas tree. How damn cool is that? Very.
So, next thing I know I've got a message asking if I'd whip up 6 --no, 7!-- more. I loved the ideas so much I stopped working on my hubby's coat (sorry, love!) and dove right in.
Santa and Elf Zombies, Burlesque Dancer Zombie with a feather fan, Nerd Zombie with glasses and a pocket protector, the more traditional Green Zombie in "leather" pants, And, last but not least...
Doctor Horrible and Captain Hammer!
Apparently the other Zombies have a bone to pick with Horrible and Hammer. Who knew?
I'll add individual pics of the others shortly. Hope you like them!

PS - Custom requests are closed for the holidays. I'd never be able to finish the work and get it to you on time. We can start plotting for next year in January though! xx
This little cutie is flying around my workroom playing tag with the Love Monkey and Batlings.
It would great if someone would a adopt this sweet girl. Then maybe the Batlings will stop trying to use chop sticks and my hair as a Maypoles, at her encouragement. Probably unlikely but one can hope.
She is a bit of an exhibitionist as you can see and her booty is completely bare. But then, what cherub doesn't run around in only a ribbon, right?
She enjoys hanging out in Christmas trees, flittering around windows and rearview mirrors.
♥ Approx. 4" tall (from top of head to feet, apx 4 5/8" including pigtails)
♥ Approx. 3" wide at wings
See the listing for more details.
If you'd prefer her as a pin/brooch that can be arranged. Or, if you'd like one in custom colors let's talk!
xx ~Static
He's late for a very important date! With you. He really needs someone to serve him a spot of calming tea. The whole Wunderland thing still has him in a really tizzy.
♦ Height: Approximately 14.5" standing (not including those long ears!) & 10" sitting
His arms and legs are shunt-jointed with metal buttons & embroidery floss making him semi-poseable. His eyes are layered button. Mr. Rabbit's body is a printed white Cotton that makes me think of frost on a window, and has striped dark pink Jacquard inner ears. His vest is gold Brocade on one side and lined in grey Cotton blend. A matching snazzy bowtie is made of the same materials as his vest plus a little black grosgrain ribbon. Hand embroidered felt accents and detail work!
NOTE: This item is not meant for young children and prefers the touch of a "big kid" collector. This art doll can be played with, but gently.
I ship within the US and to Cnd, Aus, Jpn & the EU.

Is it me or did this Pocket Zombie Santa maybe have a little too much special eggnog, if you know what I mean?
Anywho, as you can see poor Santa had a run-in with some naughty zombies. They gnawed on Santa's head and arm a bit before the reindeer could stomp their zombie butts into the ground where they belonged. But there's no keeping Santa from making his rounds! Granted with a shuffle and grunt, preferring brains and guts over milk and cookies these days but, hey, what can you do?
♦ Stands approximately 4.5 inches (11.43cm) high from brain to feet.
♦ Individually cut from synthetic felt, sewn, and embroidered by my two hands.
♦ "Blood" is freehand painted.
♦ Comes in a "Body Bag" (aka tissue holder)
♦ Can be left as is, a Mini Plush, ~or~ can have a ornament loop/hook added ~or~ a pinback added at no extra charge. Just let me know in the "message to seller" box when you make your purchase.
(This listing is for the Pocket Zombie Santa only. Skeleton/tombstone/pillar not included.)
Next up, some new reversible headbands!

Here are the goodies I sent to Nitebyrd, my stalkee this year.
Pumpkin jingle bell earrings, a witch eraser, Halloween foam stickers, 4 zombie rubber ducks &, la piece de resistance, a Bloody Zombie Head Pillow Slip Cover complete with pillow! Which, let me tell you, was not easy to find a box for. I had smush the pillow a bit to make it all fit. Hopefully things didn't get too wrinkly on it's way to the coast.
The Bloody Zombie Head Pillow Slip Cover is 16"x16", Grey Woven with an envelope back. The zombie silhouette is black synthetic felt with hand stitched blood accents in cranberry, edge stitched in green to the cotton print background, and framed in 3/8" black satin ribbon, mitered corners and all.
What Nitebyrd had to say about it:
"Static, I seriously LOVE it so much, I want to carry it around like a woobie. I really do!
THANK YOU!!!"

This is probably the last one I'll do. Trying to get slippery, but lovely, lining onto velvet is a pain in the rear. Hell, anything to do with sewing velvet is a pain! But velvet's so pretty! I know. Sigh. Anywho...
Every diva needs a capelet to ward off the cool night airs! They're absolutely perfect for early Autumn, Spring or cool evenings out on the town. Wear it centered, jauntily toss it over one shoulder, or fold down the collar. You can even wear it stripe side out if the feeling strikes you!
See the listing here for details.

Isn't he just the cutest little tiger? Twenty-two inches of squishy, fleecy fun. The 25 stripes and face were cut from soft synthetic felt and hand stitched into place. Crazy, I know, but it was to minimize the bulging of the fleece since it's stretchy and felt really is not.
It took me forever to finish him. I really do think he was unstitching himself so he could stay with me longer. But, he's finally done and on his way to his new home if he's not there already.
Look for him at the NYC Comic Con! Send me pics if you spot him, okay?

Check out the custom Bloomers I recently finished! I personally love them. This one was a bit of a challenge because the Skulls & Roses cotton print fabric is not easy to come by particularly where I live. Luckily I was able to snag some at a decent price online. Then, I realized I was completely out the black cluney lace I was going to use to trim these. But, hidden away in my lace stash was just enough of the black & white cluney lace you see here. I've had it so long I don't think it's made anymore. At least, I've yet to find more!
Even with the hiccups, or more like thankfully due to the hiccups, I was able to create a great pair of one-of-a-kind bloomers for a wonderfully patient (and repeat) customer!

Let's see, I don't think I've shown off the custom headband I made for the lovely & talented Miss Connie Faye. It's purple, black & white skull print on one side & black brocade on the other.
No, I'm not selling these. It is a one-off for someone's Halloween costume.
No, I'm not releasing the pattern either, sorry.
Next up: Matrix style coat for my hubby in black canvas & a dress for me in black cotton printed with red stars. Can't wait!

I love that random people love my creations enough to include them in Etsy treasuries! It makes me feel all squishy inside. This one is just so damn spooky-cute I had to share. I may just share them from now on here on my blog because I've been included in some really beautiful treasuries and there's no point in hoarding all the lovelies for myself ;D

My first PDF pattern ever, Zombie Hand Puppet, is now available. I'm so happy to finally have this done I could *squee*! Okay, maybe I did *squee* just a little because it took me almost 2 years before I completed it. Crazy I know but when you get distracted by other more demanding projects, life and shiny things, well, I'm sure you understand.
The Zombie Hand Puppet PDF pattern is available in my supply shop. If you don't see the listing just convo me and I'll get one up there for you asap.
Big huge thanks to SkeletalDropkick for her great help & insight! You need to check out her amazing wares. Really, you do.

Just a couple of girls out for a nice night on the town but then Erin had to go and convince Teri to take a walk through the graveyard.
"It's a shortcut, I swear!"
That happened to be next to a toxic waste dump. First they lost their shoes in the muck. Then Erin stomps off in a tiff, pissed about her missing shoes.
There's a guy just standing at the edge of the graveyard staring at the toxic dump. Erin wobbled over --she'd already put back a few-- to tell him her woes and maybe sucker him into looking for her shoes. What does she get for it? He totally messed up her hair and got blood on her pretty dress! Jerk.
Teri, meanwhile, trips on a broken headstone and lands face first in some glowing green goo. As she's trying to get up, a bony hand erupts from the goo and starts scratching at her arms and face.
"Do you know how long it took to get my hair this cute, you asshat?!"
She wails on the arm a few time with a rock but it was already too late. Her stomach was growling and wasn't for brussel sprouts.
Thinking about Halloween costumes yet? You should be! Here's a couple patterns I just listed to help you along.
 |  |

L to R pattern description and costume suggestions:
Row 1: Morpheus & Neo in Matrix Reloaded.
Neo's coat in the first movie was more a western style duster with a regular collar & 'V' insets on the shoulders. Morpheus' coat, if you want to be as accurate as possible, should be done in a black alligator skin-looking vinyl. But, that can be mighty pricey so you may just opt for a nice black vinyl.
The pattern suggests velcro closures. Bleh. If you prefer buttons, like I do, here's excellent instruction on how to do so: http://sewing.about.com/library/sewnews/library/aatech0703a.htm . Or, sew in a nice long zipper to go for that Skinny Puppy - Pro-test look! Word. (If you know the band & video you know what I'm talking about ;D)
Sherlock Holmes, Van Helsing, Full Metal Alchemist, Uryū Ishida
My hubby thinks the coat on the left (blue) looks Van Helsing but it would need some tweaking with lots of buckles, straps, top stitching galore and the back reshaped and topstitched. If you want to get as close as possible to the movie costume, anyway!
I think it would be an excellent beginning to a coat for an Uryū Ishida costume, from the anime Bleach, personally. It would also be a good start for a Full Metal Alchemist (another anime) military outfit.
The coat on the right is obviously a Sherlock Holmes style. The pattern even includes the sleuth cap. But if you're good at playing with patterns it could be turned into an Alucard, of the Hellsing anime, coat by shortening and attaching the front edges of the cape to sleeves inner seam rather than have it come all the way to the center front.
Row 2: Victorian travel/driving coats, Interview with a Vampire, Steampunk, Doctor Who
This pattern is a basic men's Victorian driving coat and it includes a pattern for your lady! We know how cold it get's in October here in NA so this would be perfect to throw over your Lestat, Louis or any other Vampire Chronicles character. Louis & Lestat wear something similar in the first movie, if you want to get picky.
And, of course, there's the every popular steampunk stylings. Are you a time traveling mad doctor? A Jules Verne type of adventurer? Well then, you need a coat, don't you?
Shorten the coat to the knee, make it out of brown wool with no top stitching and guess what you have? The coat for Tom Baker's Doctor Who, that's what!
Civil War, Victorian/Steampunk, Firefly
Here we have Civil War North & South uniforms. Confederate is on the left and Union is on the right. I can not say if these are historically accurate for reenactment but I'm betting they'd be a good place to start if you're wanting to make your own.
This pattern is Victorian era regardless and can be used to get you going on some nice steampunk outfits too.
Also, if you lengthen the one on the right to about the knee, stitch it up in brown suede, add wide leather cuffs (or faux if you prefer), don't forget the splits at the side seams aka gun flaps, and guess what you made? A Firefly Browncoat! The previous Victorian driving coat is also a good basis for a Firefly Browncoat.
More patterns can be found in my Etsy supply shop: http://StaticWhite.etsy.com
I also have ladies costumes, beads and trim for sale so be sure to check it all out!
