at the moment im retardedly stoked about my bracelets going to norway! why you ask?! because norway is possibly the most bad ass country .....EVER! <br />
<br />
i have been trying to get more stuff up in the etsy store but i keep selling my goods before they make a debut in cyberland. but never fear, i've still got PLENTY of tricks up my sleeve. but i'm telling you kiddies, once i put something up in the shop you had better act fast because things dissappear rather quickly.<br />
<br />
so how about some calabrese?! i still have a few tops to make. i'm doing at least one for myself! so often i'm left in the dust with all my goodies going to other people. i only hvae...like 3 or 4 things that are solely mine i shall never sell. everything else...subject to sale. SO i'm makin sure i get a good calabrese shirt to keep for myself. i'm also doing at least one in size s-l and at least one in lush size 1x-2x.<br />
<br />
and my oh my, skull print denim skirts!!!! this fabric seriously makes me want to sit down and spend the time making a pair of pants.<br />
<br />
ok some other things that are brewing in my cauldron.....movie monster handbags, evil dead bag, a clockwork orange bag, and the little pinkhearses!!!<br />
i've also got tons more fabric to get through here . and tons of jewelry i cant get good pics of so i'll just sell them out of my bag!<br />
<br />
oh dear. i've gotta go. random a.d.d. time is overcandistrangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08113523749674556131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790096675821640720.post-58775730923928229372011-03-21T05:56:00.000-07:002011-03-21T05:56:42.790-07:00pick one and go!i've had so many fantastic ideas lately i'm kinda gettin crazy. i cant decide on what thing to do because i have so many...<br />
like the true gemini i am i dabble. in this. in that. and now! i've made a purse out of leopard duct tape and playing cards. although this is just a gateway for an idea thats been brewing in my brain for a while. i wanted to find a good sturdy way to make handbags in different shapes, and with this technique i can make any shape at all, and it will be sturdy. although duct tape is fantastic and all (especially when its leopard) i plan on still covering these bags in fabric...but! my horizon has been broadened. another profound mystery for myself is how to turn all these awesone crazy collages i've been doing for years into wearable art...?! well i do believe i've found the answer. i can literally do anything with these purses and the possibilites are FANTASTIC!! now if i could just find that crazy fetish collage i did...<br />
on a lighter note....snaeskin pvc! ooooohhhh yeeaahhh!!!candistrangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08113523749674556131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790096675821640720.post-76010063628559061822011-02-24T06:25:00.000-08:002011-02-24T06:25:35.173-08:00zebra snakes and cramps...oh dearcramps shirt almost done. had to order some elastic lace. the back laces up with yellow and black zebra material. havent decided on the straps....but heres a preview<br />

BUTsince i have an appearantly lame ass camera and no respectable photoshop program.....all i have to offer is a fuzzy picture. so sad.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> so im doing some bloody skull and meat cleaver bracelets, might do some hand painted "zombie infection" bracelets with green ooz dripping down the skulls cause green ooze is oh so in!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> i'm also stepping up my classic fur skirts with pockets or panels of marilyn, coffins, and hearse's. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">going to have some hearse necklaces, a collage of murderous devices necklace (ie. cleaver, brass knuckles, hearse, combat boots,guns)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> speaking of necklaces! i've seen enough of the boring ol blood on a cleaver idea. i'll have painted hearse necklaces (wouldnt a purple or pink or even green hearse be awesome?! or even a bloody hearse...now thers an idea) brass knuckle necklaces painted to whatever color youd like or just the classic silver charm... razorblades necklaces.......eh....? i'm sure i'll think of a way to jazz em up (without beeing too jazzy)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">i've also got some awesome beads of poison cans with a skull ...i'll put the pic of those beads up!!</span><br />

<span style="color: lime;"> so here i go on a new adventure in internet land. making a facebook fan page, a blog, working on new items, brainstorming new venues of art to dabble in and all the while trying to keep my sanity and a clean house!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"> for those of you who dont already know me...well, you got some 'splaining to do...:)</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;">i make clothes, purses, accessories, white chocolate skull candies (for personal consumption) and various forms of art.</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"> in person i am a very soft spoken, creepily polite individual with an odd sense of wonder, amusement, and creation. i take far too little in life seriously, and while i day dream of moonlighting as a serial killer who kills rude people, i somehow manage to "cook up" delightfully spooky clothing....and other stuff.</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;">well, this is just my intro... now off to the intros for all these other pages i'm working on!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;">good midnight to you!</span>candistrangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08113523749674556131noreply@blogger.com0
