New at Chenille Macabre!

This week at Chenille Macabre, it's Beastmen and Bogeymen! First we introduce an all-new species of miniature at the store- the Satyr- who's joined by another of our popular Rakshasa cat warriors!

Then on the Bogeymen front, two glow-in-the-dark horrors come at us from the dark! Behold the chain-rattling Ghost Mini, and also the brisk-selling Slasher Mr. Eyeball Plucker from AMPUTHEATRE- The World's Goriest Board Game!

All handmade, all unique... all macabre! Buy yours today!

Darkside Soap presents - F.O.T.G.

OK, it all started out innocently enough. This yellow goo started ozzing through the walls of the lab, so we fed it to our chickens. They got huge & we had giant omelets for breakfast everyday. Well, then the rats got into the goo...and well, now they're terrorizing the neighborhood. Oops...
Ok, now we figure we gotta get rid of this stuff, so we put in in the cauldron & made this batch of soap from it. It smells great too, like Oatmeal, Milk & Honey. Note that application may cause enlargement of body parts, so please use liberally on the buttocks.

Featured! SWStitchery.Etsy.com on BuyZombie yet again!

Wow this site knows good Zombie when they see it! LOL ;) It was actually suggested to me a while ago by Stuart, the mad zombie poster of BuyZombie, to make a Zombie Batling. So since I finally got around to actually making one I thought it only fair to name it after him, the Zombie Batling named Stu! He in turned featured my latest creature on BuyZombie (yet again!)!

Zombies, Pirates, Rats, & Cats!

It's been a little bit since I last updated this blog! I haven't gotten any sleep for a few days, so please excuse this entry if it's less than eloquent tonight, lol!

I'm really getting into the mirror face pendant necklaces, and I think I'm going to be on this kick for a while ;) So far I've created bats, and cats, and puppies; and now to add to that collection I also have a zombie, a pirate, a rat, and a new kitty with a fishbone rather than a tail! The pirate and zombie are part of my "Have a Nice Day!" spin-off pieces, and they are each "Have a Nice Plunder!", and "Have a Nice... BrAAaaIIiiNS!" respectively.

Take a look at the listings for these new pieces by clicking on each photo!











Creepy Dolls

I just listed a new doll on Etsy... come check her out!





Featured!: IllustratedInk on SomethingDreadful.Blogspot.com

From the fingers of SomethingDreadful ("dreadful" as in the good creepy sort of way of course):

As a handful of you may know, I do these monthly artist spotlights each month. I've done...let's see...four now. I select someone from our team, ask some nonsensical questions about them and their craft, and then put it all together with samples of their work. They're great fun to do!
Well for the month of June I selected IllustratedInk and it was a very nice spotlight. Check it out if you like!


http://somethingdreadful.blogspot.com/
also, I've been featuring lots of EtsyDarkTeam items on my blog. Or sometimes just cool stuff that catches my eye. Hehe, like zombie shoes!

Definitely a blog worth following! xx ~Static
