I took a wee break from chibi making and stitched up this little Owl.
She looks a bit sleepy, maybe even a little hung over? And, I just realized in looking at the picture again that I forgot to embroider her belly feathers. Well, I'll just have to fix that along with finishing her brother. Then it's back to chibi-ness for me!

I'm a bit stumped on how I want to do the face for this doll I'm working on right now. Applique or reverse applique? The first is easy, the second is harder but it might look better. Is it really a decision when I always seem to choose the hard way? I can't seem to help myself.
Anywho, here is a fairly complicated, but really neat, two piece origami spider on my cat's back!
Hmm, my little dude doesn't really seem phased by it at all. He even tucked his head down and went to sleep after the pic, spider still staring from his back. Where's that fierce animal instinct, man's adorable little serial killer? Wuss, is more like it.
Here's the spider on it's own...
Until tomorrow xx ~Static
Today was a little slow going but I did make an apron for myself. I finally got to use some of the great fabric my friend, MyPrettyZombie, sent to me!
The only thing you can't see is a loop on the inside to able to hang it on a hook when not in use. I may add a pocket, even though I've never actually used one on an apron before. I'll definitely be adding a big bat applique though! I just don't want to place it and then possibly have to move it if I decide on a pocket. It's mine so there's no rush and it is completely functional as is. Just perfect for my Halloween kitchen!

I seem to be doing things in pairs lately. Here's a friend for the Red & Yellow Dragon, a Grey & Purple one.
When I get them to the light tent for a better photo shoot you'll get to see the cute little tails.

Another spooky cute critter for Valentine's Day, a sweet little blue-eyed VooDoll!
It'll be available in my shop shortly, or you can always order one in custom colors. Black hearts are also an option! Just include the request in the "message to seller".

The one thing I did from scratch, start to finish, today was bake chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Nom! Unfortunately, I have no pic of them because the almost 2 dozen of them have disappeared. Not into my gut! I only ate 4... or, was it 5?
So, instead, here is a pic of what I'm currently working on, the chibi doll. I also painted the ZomBunny with "blood". She's off to Canada soon and wanted a pic with her semi-complete friend. They bonded over missing parts, go figure.

Today was adding a star fish, with embroidered star, to the Mermaid's hair and making a Krampus.
Obviously the lovely Mermaid and Krampus aren't talking at the moment. It seems they had some sort of a disagreement. Something about him snickering at her tail and her making fun of his little yellow backpack, as far as I can tell.

Dun-dun... dun-dun...
This itsy bitsy embroidery will have to do for tonight. It's only part of something much larger but I had to take a break after that wee work and work on another custom order. The flash washes it out but there are tiny, pointy teeth in that chompy mouth. Better to nom you with!

Hah! It's like a hawk hood!
It's not for my coconut-head, obviously. And, please ignore the blurriness. It's difficult to take photos when you are pretty much blindfolded.
The different colored dots around the edge are pins, this was taken before I pressed the edges. Hopefully once the person this is going to gets it they will take a better pic :).

Revamped the Voodoo Doll, which I'm much happier with now. I also added a Pink Leopard Maneki Neko to the bunch. I'll get better pics of both of these little darlings shortly.

I made another Valentine Batling for a trade (the other one sold!) and tried to make a chibi voodoo doll.
I'm not totally pleased with the voodoo doll though. I need to think about it some more. Maybe different colors? Hmm...

Here's a couple custom requested Ivory Krampusses playing together before they went off to their new home. One's obviously a little shy, the other not so much...
Always happy to make more or other create other critters!

Ebil Bun Bunnee stalks behind dust ruffles and under couches seeking out those dirty little wannabe bunnies made of dust with it's sharp little claws and wicked carrot blade. Though you might want to watch your ankles. Ebil Bun Bunnee gets a little overzealous at times.
♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦
Ebil Bun Bunnee was created as part of the EtsyDarkTeam's Year Long Birthday Swap and now lives with Nitebyrd far away where he can't poke and tease my other critters. This naughty bunny has issues with authority but should behave well enough as long as there is an ample stash of carrots laying about.
Can't wait to share my presents shortly!
Not-So-Fresh Zombie Pin
The Not-So-Fresh Zombie is pissed. You would be too if you had gone through the shock, denial, sadness and fear of being turned. On the up side, being undead he doesn't have the capacity to worry over the guilt part, right? Unless of course someone comes up with the cure for zombie-ism, then he's screwed. But we all know that won't happen anytime soon. So grab your shotgun and watch out for the teeth! Although you don't 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 Zombie with a little less angst check out the Freshly Dead Zombie Pin here.
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.

It was a Halloween theme! I couldn't pass that up.
Here is my completed rendering Pet Zombie Creations painting Crying Jealousy in fabric on a 14" wide tote (all from scratch!) with a couple of my Postcards, a Charm, an Autumn Black Rose, a couple Moocards and a wooden coffin full of candy. 
As you can see I decided to do something a little different. I was itching to do another fabric portrait and found this to be a perfect opportunity! I thought PZC's painting would be perfect with it's undead, zombie-like feel for the Halloween theme. The colors were chosen not only to compliment the image but pink, purple and black (in that order ;D) are her favorite colors. Voila, PZ's gotta brand new bag.
Ok it wasn't as simple as I make it out to be. You can get a glimpse of my madness in my in-progress pics on my Flickr photostream.
Enjoy!
This sweet big-headed starry eyed Hippo Doll is my latest custom piece and reserved but another can be made. Let's talk ;)
