Friday The 13th Metal Sculpture

friday-the-thirteenth=metal-sculpture

Halloween is inching nearer and that can only mean one thing: I will be happily posting all the horror related stuff I can find! I found this Friday The 13th Metal Sculpture by inaBAG while playing with the “pounce” feature on etsy and I have to say, jut the picture was so super cool, I couldn’t just pass it by. If this rendition of Jason isn’t enough on his own, his mask and axe are removable, opening you and your friends up to all sorts of minature axe attack fun.

Yoda Hat + Market Bag

My friend Heather Mann is always making great stuff (like the Star Wars finger puppets Renee posted about last week) but my favorites from her lately have to be her Yoda crafts. She made this fantastic fleece hat and wrote a tutorial for it on her Dollar Store Crafts blog — the total cost for the project is under $1!

Heather also did a Star Wars swap over at Craftster recently and made this awesome appliqued Yoda market bag in Jedi robe colors for her partner. You can use her instructions and this free morsbag pattern to make one for yourself, too.

Heather’s hat tutorial has totally inspired me to make a head-to-toe Yoda costume for my one-year-old daughter Pearl for Halloween. I’ll post more pictures when I’ve made my version — I’m figuring out the robe, snake and walking stick right now!

Kill Bill Halloween Costume

In honor of my movie-geekness (and love of all things Tarantino) I am featuring this amazing Kill Bill Halloween Costume I found on Flickr because it’s awesome and a little too soon for any good Inglourious Basterds costumes. FlemingBonaparte made this GoGo Yubari costume a couple years ago for Halloween. It appears doable with some decent thrift store finds, some tinfoil and enough creativity to get a wooden plank to stick to the side of your head. I love it!

Terminator Converse

When these babies popped into my inbox, and I hopped over to HunkyDorky to see what else Sponzar had created I was giddy. These are really amazing Terminator Converse sneakers that Sponzar had drew on then painted. I, myself, am an “old school” Terminator fan, enjoying parts one and two a little more than parts three and four, but if I was going to join The Resistance, I’d really like a pair of these shoes.
