Create 365 - 148 to 161

Okay, so, due to things that could not be controlled (migraines, my scattered creativity, an over-thinking brain and a bit of squashed hope) I am obviously way behind posting. I have been creating though! Here's what I've worked on during my blogging absence:

Day 148
Swirly wall switch.

Looks much better than they ugly, cracked thing that it originally was.

Day 149
Here is a Daisy Circle Skirt.

Oh wait, there is no pic yet because I wore it already and now it's in the wash. As soon as it is laundered and ironed I'll add it in. You'll just have to take my word on it.

I made another skirt for myself, hurray! I keep seeing cute skirts and dresses but so many are too short for my taste. I prefer knee-length or longer, thanks. I just don't want to be getting "friendly" with all the town every time I bend over, ya know?

Day 150 to 156
Seven new limited edition reversible headbands.

Top: Kittens and Cobwebs, Peaches and Screams, Pushing Up Daisies
Mid-Left: Peach Dreams
Bottom: Daisy Chain, Sweet Zombie, Candy Kittens

Click the pic to go see all 32 of the LE headbands I currently have available.

Day 157 to 161
Dahlia Barrettes, one of which which will be given away soon in celebration of breaking 900 on my shop's Facebook page!

 

It looks like I lost a little over a week's worth of creating but it couldn't be helped so I'll just soldier on. Hopefully I can keep up with my 365 a little better now and not take 2 years to finish it! We shall see, we shall see.

Create 365 - Day 17

Grrrr raaaaaaa....

Just another day of zombie wrangling. This one will have a little more detail but he's pretty much done. The final thing is a design on his shirt and maybe a little more "blood".

I think all the time I've spent on this little guy alone today equals item done for the day, don't you? Don't worry it'll be done-done shortly. I just wanted to get the post up before I forgot so I can go back to watching my CSI.

Up next, his delicious beau. Yum.

Create 365 - Day 16

Today was the final final touch to chibi-Vic (see yesterday's post for the update), made lunch for the rest of the week for the hubbers, and then wracked my brain over a couple of Zombie Mini Plush for a friend of mine, who I may or may not feed to a pack of wild kittens after I'm done with these. Here's a sneak peek at the finished sketch.

Wish me luck! xx ~Static

More Custom Pocket sized Zombie

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

Custom Pocket sized Zombies!

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

I Can Haz Brainz?

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.

Zombie Party Girls

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.

My zombies, they are taking over!

Rommie the Not-Sock Zombie Monkey now lives on the US East Coast, another Not-So-Fresh Zombie is nibbling his way through the UK & a Lil Zombie Jibber is biting toes in Australia!

If you look real close you can see Lil Zombie Jibber (bottom right) has got himself a little soul patch (wee goatee) & a labret like his larger human counterpart! He's also missing his foot which was apparently gnawed off in his attempted escape from the other zombies. Didn't do him much good did it?

Zombies Love You For Your Brains 1

Freshly Dead Zombie Pin

The Freshly Dead may be confused, as you can see from this guys face, but don't fooled. They can get you just as good as a Not-So-Fresh one! As this guy apparently learned the hard way. Just because they're only a *little* green around the edges doesn't mean they're any less of a Zombie.

Remember, head shots are the way to go. Although you don't really have to worry about these little guys... too much.

I'm not responsible for any hypothetical zombie outbreaks!

♦ apx 4" tall
♦ cut in detail, layered, sewn & painted all by hand
♦ they are made one at a time, each one is unique

♦ Comes in it's very own Black Cotton Body Bag which can double as a tissue pouch when not occupied by the zombie, of course.

 

If you'd like a more hardcore Zombie stay on the alert for the Not-So-Fresh Zombie Pin (coming soon)!
