Plants Vs Zombies Paper Toys

Plants Vs Zombies has been released for the BlackBerry Z10! And I have a BlackBerry Z10! So guess who’s been spending all of her (precious little) free time yelling at zombies?

These Plants vs. Zombies paper toys are probably going to be my next obsession. Paper crafting is super fun! It’s inexpensive, relatively easy to make, and there are oodles of awesome patterns out there…like these cuties from Mayainpaper! There are downloadable patterns for quite a few plants and zombies, but I think Crazy Dave might actually be my favorite.

Left 4 Dead Health Pack earrings

 

I like to think of myself as a helpful person.  I bring a net positive to most situations.

Left4Dead Healthpacks

Except…
There is a specific circumstance during which, I have found, I am downright useless:

Zombie Apocalypses
Gentle reader, should there be a zombie apocalypse, you do not want me anywhere near you. I’ll be worthless.

I will stumble around with my pistols, clumsily shooting at your butt, and thrash about in Boomer Bile. And if you get hurt, oh goodness, if  you were to get hurt, I will have already used up my healthpack. By accident. When I was trying to equip a flashlight.
That is what brings us here, kids. I am loving these ‘lil Left 4 Dead polymer clay earrings. Hand sculpted, painted, and glazed, the earrings are mounted on pure silver fish-hooks. They are small and light-weight as well, so you can wear them comfortably. More importantly, you can wear them and dream that you are the kind of person that always has a spare healthpack with them and they’ll stay on, even if you’re carrying a flashlight. Everyone’s butts are safe!

Apocalypse, interrupted. You are a hero, Kristina Tuck.

There is a lot more video game inspired jewelry where these guys came from, so be sure to check out Ms. Tuck’s Etsy page.

Reader Submission! Zombie Braincakes!

Geekcrafts Reader Kayla sent us this sweet picture (hahah) of the Zombie Braincakes she made for her Zombie Research Society meeting.

Man I love cake…

I’m pretty sure I’d still love cake even if it’s covered in fake blood…

I reckon these’d go down a storm at your local church bake sale.

“I Heart Brains” Best Friends Necklace

I heart brains BFF necklaceThis “I heart brains” best friends necklace set is the perfect thing for horror-loving BFFs.

Hand-made out of polymer clay by Sarah, these and other creepy-cool organ-influenced accessories are available at her Etsy store Beat Black.

Give one to the friend you trust not to eat your brains when the zombie apocalypse hits!

Zombie Quilt

What you are looking at isn’t a painting, it’s a quilt – a very well done one at that! Crafters user graverobbergirl made this quilt for their friends’ Halloween Wedding Anniversary. They were inspired by this picture on Flickr, and the results are fantastic. Check out their WIP photos on craftster.

Gnombie Fever

Is it spring yet?  Here in the Great White North it certainly is not, but I’m sure it will be soon (that’s what I have to keep telling myself).  In the meantime, I’m stuck with what I can only assume is gnome fever.  I’ve been looking at all sorts of gnomes on DeviantArt, remembering the days of green grass and fresh warm air, but I was stopped in my tracks when I caught sight of Deviant user Jevist’s Gnome Family Portrait.  I love so much about these little plushie guys, from their goofy eyes and poofy beards to their detailed belts, but what I love the most is how Gnombie fills my mind with terribly wonderful ideas of a world full of tiny undead gnomes, complete with their colorful pointy hats.  Don’t stop at just the family portrait though, continue on to read about Gnibble, and don’t miss Voracio, the gnome eating Alien!
