and i'm trying to come up with awesome captions to go along with my marilyn shirts but havent struck gold on that one yet. i would write "beautiful disaster" with her pic but thats a 311 song and since they are not at all my cup o coffee i cant in good conscience do that soo as i stated, havent struck gold on this one yet. but the frankenstitched tops are going to be the absolute shit... yow

i want your skull

ok! since ivemade it through the trial and error stages of my skull bracelets, i should have sample sales coming up within a week! i have green skulls, purple, blue, pink, and like a rotting yellow color. oh and the white ones and the bloody ones too.
in necklace news, i'll have a hearse necklace, some danzig skull necklaces, and cleaver necklaces. i'll also get a pic up of the uber awesome necklace i made with my "poison can" beads.
and im in trial stages of coffin necklaces. they will be handmade and customizable. just have to get the perfect technique down!!
in clothing news, i just got in some fabulous hearse fabric!! i'll be doing calabrese shirts, (a couple of them for the public at least!!) a taxi driver shirt....and of course new misfits gear!
purse news? i'll def be doing a purse with the hearse fabric. i have a misfits evil never dies purse thats almost finished. just a few details to add. and i found an awesome vintage vinyl purse at the thrift i'll be customizing. i'm thinking dexter for the viyl purse but who knows!!
now!! earring news. getting supplies to bring my "brass knuckle" earrings to life and working on a technique to get "dexter" written on my cleavers.
ok, now that you know whats going on around here, i have to go make stuff!!!

heres my beyond crappy pic of these...they dont like to photograph well. better ones coming very very soon....but not too soon as to catch ya with your pants down or anything

coffins, marilyn, and cleavers...oh my!

so i have been working on skull bracelets for a couple weeks now. i have green skull (skull beads) bracelets, purple, and individually hand painted bloody skulls!!! if it werent for my ridiculous camera i would have pics up by now. BUTsince i have an appearantly lame ass camera and no respectable photoshop program.....all i have to offer is a fuzzy picture. so sad.
        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!
   i'm also stepping up my classic fur skirts with pockets or panels of marilyn, coffins, and hearse's.
going to have some hearse necklaces, a collage of murderous devices necklace (ie. cleaver, brass knuckles, hearse, combat boots,guns)
 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)
i've also got some awesome beads of poison cans with a skull ...i'll put the pic of those beads up!!
  crap...damn coffe/add/insomnia/......meow?
i'm sure i forgot a bunch of stuff but i cant be giving away all my secrects now can i!

those are beads! can't wait till they get hear. might do a bracelet and maybe earings with them...hell i may ever just sew them onto clothes for all i know.

well.....rock n roll

you want to hear about my new obsession?

hello new and exciting world of blogging! i'm candi
               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!!!
  for those of you who dont already know me...well, you got some 'splaining to do...:)
i make clothes, purses, accessories, white chocolate skull candies (for personal consumption) and various forms of art.
 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.
well, this is just my intro... now off to the intros for all these other pages i'm working on!

good midnight to you!
