In general, people don’t “get” me. I’m used to it; I don’t care. I’m weird, I’m dark, I’m a little twisted. I’ll take it, whatever. It’s just who I’ve turned out to be. I got an awesome gift from my boyfriend’s mother; Zombie Felties. (First time I didn’t get something totally lame!)
So I made her this:
Their bodies are completely felt and stuffing (plus bead accents). The hubby was put together in the wrong order so he’s not as strong as his lady. The bones are bugle beads and seed beads with one strand of embroidery floss. The arm bones and leg bones have small pieces of wire to hold them stiff; plus a full wire through the feet, legs and into the body for support. The base is clay and heart shaped. Wifey doesn’t actually have a full body, just a torso with thick wire as her legs (since you wouldn’t see up her skirt anyway). I frayed the edges of her dress and used some Stiffen Stuff spray to keep it crinkled and his coattails curly. The tree in the back is bunch of thicker wires twisted around each other and then smushed full of clay, plus threads of seed beads dangling.
