Another Cotton Candy Cocoon Collector

0
Posted on by

Happy to say I was commissioned to make another one of my Cotton Candy Cocoon Ornaments and it is now being packaged up to ship to my new art collector!

This is now the 6th one of these that I have made for fellow Killer Klowns From Outerspace fans, and I love experimenting every time I make something I have made before. Always raising the bar and learning along the way on how I can improve my techniques. The upgraded hand sculpted toppers were the first thing I improved on and now this time I extended the cotton up a tad higher and also made it a little smoother. Needless to say, I am really happy with how it turned out and so is the client.

Once again I want to give a shoutout to my hubby Frank for always lending me his mad engineer skills to drill and make the tubing fit and work so perfectly every time I am commissioned to make one of these.

For those of you that are new to my work or stumbled across this post due to your love of campy 80’s horror movies, these handmade ornaments measure approximately 8″ from the bottom to the top of the hook. Each one is handcrafted so no two are ever the same. Unfortunately you can’t drink the essence of the person inside them as they’ve been pretty drained already, however they make pretty rad handmade horror decor for your home or Yule tree (if you like a spookier vibe for the holidays). My art collectors tend to display them next to their collection of Killer Klown figurines, Funkos, etc.

Also, these sold out very quickly when I first pre-made a couple of them so now I offer them as a Made-To-Order item in my Etsy shop. So if you are interested in commissioning me to make you one be sure to reach out with any questions or check out using the listing here.

New Iron On Art Patches at Closet Collectibles!

This weekend I did another art drop off at Closet Collectibles in Crete IL! This included restocking sold out items but also adding a brand new product… iron on art patches!

I had a total of 50 patches made of my most popular art pieces, but here’s the kicker… there is only 1 patch made of each art piece! So if there is a particular art piece that speaks to you, be sure to make a trip to Closet Collectibles ASAP to get your hands on these unique pieces of wearable art. They are only $10 a piece and are a fun new way to rock my work!

I also have very little inventory left of my art print puzzles so I have decided to slash the price of the remaining stock to 50% off! That’s right, all of the remaining print puzzles are now only $5 a piece at Closet Collectibles. This will allow me to make more room for even more items I have in the works. Look for them in the same bin as the iron on patches and my remaining inventory of 5″x7″ prints.

I also decided the remaining stock of my Skullerfly Crystal Wreaths needed a better display stand. So I purchased this gothy little “Tim Burton like” tree and I could not be happier with the way it looks. I find it much more fitting for my work and it also leaves me room to make and add more of them. Although these particular creations are available to purchase in my online Etsy shop they are available at a discounted price* (as marked) for my in store Closet Collectibles shoppers and make for great gifts as well.

See these new additions and all my other art pieces in my display cabinet at Closet Collectibles and don’t forget to tell them Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya while you are there!

Stay Spooky & Magical,

*Price is discounted from online store prices. Etsy listings reflect the unfortunate amount of shop and transaction fees they charge us artists to sell online. If you are local or traveling to Illinois, I encourage my clients to save money and see my work on full display by shopping my artwork in person with my consignment partner, Closet Collectibles where they truly support my creative endeavors to the fullest as their resident local artist.

Cotton Candy Cocoons Make Heathers Holiday Out Of This World

The overwhelming response I have been receiving on my Cotton Candy Cocoon Ornaments has been “out of this world” (pun intended). Not only did the ones I pre-made sell out very quickly but my listing for them on Etsy was being favorited so much I decided to set up a custom made-to-order listing for anyone interested in having one made. This of corpse has resulted in me getting to make more of them, but one order stood our from the rest.

When the order came through my Etsy shop I found out it was going to be a gift for my dear and close friend Heather and I had the hardest time keeping it from her. On top of it I was quite honored just knowing that something I made was on her (always well thought out) Christmas wish list and even more so that her in-laws chose it off her list to purchase it for her.

When she opened the gift during the holidays she immediately texted me and we got a good laugh out of it. The best part though was when she followed it up with this beautiful photo of herself proudly holding it up to show me how happy she was to receive it.

On top of all of it she shared the following feedback about the ornament that truly lifted my spirits.

“Nicole designed these creative, and incredible interpretations of the cotton candy cocoons, I knew I needed one! I put one on my holiday list, and crossed my fingers, since she only made two of them. I was very excited when I opened the box and saw it in there! Honestly, I’m surprised she kept it a secret this long. Ha! If you’re a fan of the movie, I recommend ordering one. They’re well made, and super cute. It was a hit when I opened it at my family party.”

Did you also receive one of my handmade Cotton Candy Cocoon ornament for the holidays? Or maybe you bought one for yourself or someone else? I would love to see and feature your photos here as well as on the Freaky Fanatics slideshow of my portfolio website! Contact me via my website or a DM on Etsy!
