Getting Spooky
DD#1 has been on a ghoulish drawing binge. Zombies, ghosts, goblins, witches and other creepy images adorn the pages of her sketch book. This past weekend she decided to create one of these charming creatures in 3-D.
The design, pattern & sewing are all by DD#1. Oh, did I mention that she claims that she can't sew? I wonder what this means for the future of her knitting. . .
Note the brains spilling out of his head.
He's chomping on a yummy wormy. (Or is the wormy chomping on him?)
She added shadowing around his eyes and mouth.
The stitching on his chest is where his heart used to be.
Hope you and all of your ghouls are ready for the spookiest of weeks!
ETA: A few more photos with his creator now that she's home from school.
That is so freaking adorable (yet scary, too!)!!

That's great. He looks like a hopped (or crawled maybe) right out of Tim Burton's head.

She could totally go into business on etsy with things like this. It is so freakin' cute (Oh...I mean....sooooo scaaary!)
Seriously. Can't sew? Pshaw. Clearly she can. And well.
Tell her the brains seal the deal (MMmmmmmm.....Brains........Spicy......)
Very well done indeed.
