Zombies & Skulls

      A few months ago, I had posted the trailer and info on an independent movie that is shooting in my area, called Zombie Girl Diary.  Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to stop by the director's shop - Creepy Cadavers Prop Shop in Chambersburg, PA., and get a look at some of the amazing props, molds and other monster making goodies he has there.  Mike was very nice to take the time to not only show us around, but to answer our questions, and even show us the deer he made for the movie Lovely Molly.
    Directed by Mike Pine, the movie is about "a mother and daughter fighting to survive throughout a zombie apocalypse.  Along they way they encounter other survivors and come together to make their way through the crazy world, now turned upside down."  The movie stars Vanessa Rae Bent, Mikayla Wagaman, Tim Cassidy, Hillary Styer, Mike Pine, Jimmyo Burril, and Jim Krut. Behind the scenes photos have been posted on on Zombie Girl Diary's facebook page.  Here is my favorite pic, an amazing shot of my husband, aka the Amish Zombie, taken by King Photography:

     To help support this amazing movie, Zen Creations is having a fundraiser. Purchase any pair of skull earrings from the Zombie Girl Diary section of my Artfire shop, and Zen Creations will donate a large portion of the sale to the production of Zombie Girl Diary.  With just one purchase, you get a great pair of earrings, and support independent film!  More styles and colors will be added over the next few weeks, so be sure to check back. 

 

Peach Festival, gears, inks and death of my computer...

My computer has died. :(  Correction, both computers in our house has died, all within  a month.  What are the chances???  We didn't panic when the laptop died, we still had the pc as back up.  Then a few weeks later ---- dead.  At first, I thought, we have our phones and my kindle fire, we can deal when we're at home for a few weeks until we get a new one.  And then it hit me --- no computer means no new listings in my shops!!!!! Of course this happens when I'm in the middle of a big creativity burst, making new pieces almost every day. Until we get a new computer, I will have to settle for posting pics on here and on the Zen Creations facebook page.  

Here are two pictures of things I have been working on lately.  I'm pretty excited to be playing around with some different materials/parts/objects and using inks and patinas.  The first one is the start of the piece in the 2nd picture:

Excited to work on more pieces, and soon include some feathers and other materials!
