I’ve posted about Andrew Bell here and here already. Now he’s debuted a project I must support: the Candy Corn zombie.
I feel compelled to post this because I find these little tricolor nuggets to be one of the most vile candies in all of creation, and I think it’s quite fitting to craft one that is undead.
This is how pretty much all Candy Corn looks in my head anyway. I’d love a go at that chocolate cookie he’s standing on though.
I’ve posted about Violetpie’s wonderful work before, but I love her new Halloween creations just in time for the season this year.
Little goth deer…
Zombie bunny!
Quite an interesting articulation…
Couldn’t help but laugh at this:
Aww…it wouldn’t surprise me if someone started selling soaps on Etsy designed to look like these (there has been a surprising amount of fetus soap…why not put a sea life spin on it?).
A vintage depiction of an onion bringing HERSELF to tears. How meta.
Yes, it’s a claw…but doesn’t it look like an alien head?
So much pink…so much…meat. Valiant effort on the part of the meat roller.
The logical dessert spread after a setup like the above would clearly come from this book:
I’ve seen some bad wax figures, but Wax Jesus is looking a little rough.
I suppose it could be worse…these things could be happening.
Ha! No idea where this comes from, but it’s entertaining.
Here, have some emotions:
And now for your daily dose of confusion:
I can’t help but revisit and repost certain artists on this blog. Sandra Arteaga is one of them.
I absolutely love her new display, The Funeral of Mr. Cookie.
(Check out the little ice cream baby!)
So twisted and amazing…
Check out some previously selected examples of her work and her Axolotl.
Emily Bawn does a killer (pun intended) job on this zombie bridal shower invitation:
Look at the classy yet spunky macabre detail! Emily says: “I wanted to have the feeling of formal grace at a first glance, but then upon closer inspection a transformation from elegance to the grotesque with the details of body parts and the macabre.”
Even though this was done for a bridal shower, zombie invitations are surely great for all kinds of non-wedding related events.
Check out the happy couple:
Browsing Creatures from El inspired me to see if anyone was selling filigree bat jewelry on Etsy. Not filigree backings with bats attached…but intricately carved wing designs.
The incredible Fable and Fury did not disappoint! This is getting me in the Halloween spirit (not that I don’t enjoy bats all year round).
It also comes in silver (I believe I saw red as well)…
The black one is going on my wish list.
This Antique Bat Necklace also turned up…love this one too.
These sculptures by Creatures from El are unique, magical hybrids of biology and design.
Each sculpture can be customized in a variety of ways…
I wonder how the designs take their shape; to what degree they are planned and what degree the shape and forms simply emerge as part of the creation process.
I would love to have this one perched on my desk to keep me company:
I recently posted my whimsical decision to bedeck my honey bear with googly eyes on the spice rack.
I hadn’t given it a second thought until my awesome friend Lindsay sent me a photo of how she took the idea and ran with it:
This got me thinking of how fun it would be to get a giant collection of googly-eyed household items in any form my readers saw fit. I’d like to create an album of these and share it when/if there are substantial contributions.
I know not everyone has googly eyes lying around, just waiting to be affixed to random objects, but if you do…send a picture! Go bring something to life! You can email me the photos: shewalkssoftlyblog (at) gmail (dot com).
HAVE FUN! And spread the word if you know any crafty folks…
Something about these tiny old darlings, humbly perched with the tree that bears their initials against a vast glittering background, is rather touching.
Perhaps I’m remembering something a friend said recently…a dream she had about two people in love and all the world around them disappearing.
May you all carve out something simple and beautiful that makes a bare world sparkle around you.
