  • Zombie Love Birds Halloween Ornaments

    These zombie love birds are actually Halloween presents for my niece and nephew. They are polymer clay ornaments sculpted over hollow egg shells. The lady bird for my niece, Jessie, is a mainly frilly with a touch of ick. The one for my nephew, Ryan, oozes ick, but that was a happy accident. I had […]
