Twilight Resin Necklace

Twilight Resin Necklace

I wasn’t going to read the Twilight series. I don’t do scary and I figured books about vampires would be scary. But then I caved and became as obsessed as every other teenage girl. Oh, wait, I’m way past “teenage.” Anyway, the books and the movie – I love them, so I was really excited to see this Twilight Resin Necklace that Craftster user merrydeath21 made for her daughter. You can click through to her post to read about how she made it with resin, printed images and a daily pill sorter.

Anyone else have a Twilight craft?

Stephen King Heart Embroidery

 Today I heard the story of a 21 year old, Stephen King loving, video game geek who passed away from congestive heart failure on January 12th. Mikey was trying to “hold on” until The Watchmen movie came out, but sadly, this WOW loving geek passed before it happened. I thought to honor his memory I’d post this Stephen King Heart Embroidery that I found awhile back and was waiting for the “right time” to post.

Antarcticraft made and posted this detailed embroidery of a heart with a famous King quote “I have the heart of a small boy, it’s in a jar on my desk” embroidered in a great “creepy handwriting” style on craftster. This is something I would love to have in a frame next to my Stephen King collection on my shelf, great job, antarcticraft!

Zombie Baby Ball

Zombie Baby Ball

Craftster user ChrisSews wanted to make something that a guy would enjoy opening at a couples baby shower. Since the guy in question is into zombies, she came up with a Zombie Training ball. She says,

I embroidered the baby zombie, and the “Future Zombie Hunter” on black satin and white flannel.  I found this great black and red skull fabric and also used some red velvet, red grid fleece, white striped terry to make lots of different textures for the baby.  I also added some ribbon taggies.  I finished it off with black felt end caps embroidered with the biohazard symbol.

This baby will be prepared for the inevitable zombie invasion right from the start!
