It's the zombie apocalypse

What a fun swap this was. I really don't decorate for Halloween but I did this last year and it put me in the mood. I was paired with a new friend...Heather. Heather wanted to use clay so I said I would too. What I didnt realize is Heather is wonderful clay artist. what I made for her looks like an art project gone wrong in comparison, but I hope she likes Little Dead riding hood despite her many flaws. Ironically, she sent me a Little Red too! She is so delicate and pretty I think in a past life she was a fairy.
She even made a pet wolf on a chain...The details are wonderful. She made soldered clay charms that I am going to make a necklace out of and an adorable bag that everything went into with chocolate too! Woohoo....
I love this little skull charm! absolute coolness...
Now for little Miss out of control Dead and just in case you missed it, she came with a disclaimer.....
Instead of bringing Grandma a basket she is sitting in one. I made her some halloween cards in the shape of gravestones and included some thin ginger cookies ( I LOVE these things) and some Hot Chocolate....
So I put Zombies from last year as a centerpiece for my table and here they are...A zombie tea party.
One last thing...If you want to read a great zombie apocalypse book for young adults read "The Hollowlands" and its sequel by Amanda Hocking...They both are page turners....Happy Halloween all...xoxoxmelinda

Absolutely awesome !!!! Melinda Little Dead Riding Hood is amazing :-) The one Heather sent you is amazing too - I have to agree about her being a fairy before her zombification. Love the idea using your dolls as a table centerpiece ..... I think I need to clear away homework central off the dining table and do the same:-)
Phenomenal job girls .... real works of art:-)
