BM-5 Tailgaters Custom Bears Vs. Packers Handmade Pin Up Girl Barrettes 🐻🏈🧀

The last thing you probably expected to read about on my art page is football. However some friends of mine over at BM-5 Tailgaters asked if I would be open to making some custom Chicago Bears Vs. Green Bay Packers pin up girl style barrettes for their female fanbase. As you all know I enjoy making anything that gets my creative blood flowing and loved the idea of getting to contribute to their team spirit and passion for the game. 👻✨

I handcrafted a total of 12 barrettes, 6 per team…

I individually packaged the barrettes so they were ready for their upcoming events and included a I Support Human Handmade Art sticker in each one for some added flare.

They really liked the way they turned out and I had a lot of fun making something where I was able to use my Dead Girl Decay pin up girl style but themed for something out of “my norm” or should I say out of “my weird”.

If you are a hardcore fan of the Chicago Bears I highly recommend to “bear down”and give this wild group a follow over on their Facebook page. These guys are not just fans, they are dedicated to the game. They have been featured on many news broadcasts, involved in charity fundraisers, and are proud Charter members of the Chicago Bears Tailgating and the National Tailgating Hall of Fame.

And if you are looking to add some unique handmade flare for your next event, be sure to contact me about custom orders and check out some of the other unique wearable creations I have conjured up on the Dead Girl Decay page of my official portfolio website. I also have a few remaining Pop Culture Decay barrettes available in my Etsy shop and on the shelves in my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL.!

Stay Strange & Magical,

I am very excited to share that Closet Collectibles has moved my artwork from their store shelves to my very own glass display case. Needless to say, I am feeling rather proud right now, but most of all I am feeling truly honored and blessed.

To celebrate this milestone, I have decided that all Closet Collectibles shoppers will also get their “shop in store” discounted rate* on all of my unframed art prints now!

This means…
💀 8.5″ x 11″ giclee prints for $10 (regularly $15 online)
💀 5″ x 7″ giclee prints for $5 (regularly $10, only available online by request)

Also, the remaining stock I have left of my Limited Edition Art Print Puzzles (only available at Closet Collectibles) are now all marked down to only $5 (regularly $10). There are only a few left so go get them while you can. I have some new Limited Edition items in the works that will be taking their place at the store, so stay tuned for that as well!

Pictures really don’t do the display case justice so take it from me and go take a trip to Closet Collectibles and see it for yourselves, buy and trade collectibles while you are there, stock up on my art, and make sure you tell ’em Living Dead Girl Nicole set ya! 🤗

Stay Spooky & Magical,
LDG Nicole

*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 as their resident local artist.

New Closet Collectibles Display!

Over the weekend I did another art drop off/pickup at Closet Collectibles (Crete IL)! I was pleasantly surprised to find that they gave me a new display spot in the store and I could not be happier.

It has nothing to do with my love of built-ins (well maybe that’s part of it) but it has everything to do with it being a prime spot in the store that really showcases and protects my work! I really love it! 💜 

While I was there I picked up my Undead Doll Betty who was adopted on Etsy. Holly has now taken her place on display and is waiting for someone to adopt her and Teddy.

My “The Lovers. The Dreamers. And Me.” (of Jim Henson and Kermit) portrait prints also made their debut. While I was there I also re-stocked my sold out giclee art prints of my other Spitting Image portraits (which are now on the 3rd shelf pictured).

I am so grateful to Chris and Michelle for always thinking of and supporting me as their resident local artist at Closet Collectibles. Mother’s Day weekend is always a rough time for me so this really lifted my spirits. So blessed to be a part of such an incredible store ran by such incredible people. I can not recommend shopping there enough. And when you do, be sure to tell them..”Living Dead Girl Nicole sent me!”

Stay Spooky & Magical!

New Exclusive Items at Closet Collectibles!

This weekend I did my art drop off at Closet Collectibles in Crete IL!

Living Dead Girl Nicole with her art displayed at Closet Collectibles in Crete Illinois

Betty my 50’s inspired undead doll and my Walk On The Wild Side portrait giclee print made their debut as well as another exclusive item I made just for their shoppers!

Exclusive as in this is another item that will not be available to purchase online but will only be available to buy in person at their store! A great way to get something unique, while shopping small, local and supporting an artist all at the same time.

This exclusive item is my Caged Cannibal Scary Fairies! They come freshly fed and ready for their new caretaker and can be hung up for display! A mix of my love for whimsy and horror all rolled into one creepy magical creation! You can see more photos on the Remains page of my portfolio website as well as a little video on Youtube.

While I was there I also re-stocked my sold out giclee art prints of my Spitting Image portraits and added some new one of a kind Dead Girl Decay barrettes to replace others that have sold and am already in the works of masterminding some more!

My husband Frank also shopped their wide range of horror figurines while I did my drop off. He picked up a They Live Rody Piper figure and the Flasher Gremlin figure we have been wanting to add to our collection.

In other words don’t waste your time at places like Spirit Halloween or big box stores for horror decor this spooky season. I for one witnessed Spirit Halloween’s selection and call it “same shit, different year”. Closet Collectibles offers way more unique items and supports their local artists! They also love to buy and trade for their non art related items. So if you are looking to get rid of something from your collection for something else this is the place is an all around win win! Not to mention Chris and Michelle are seriously the nicest folks you could do business with! Go show them some love and tell them Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya!

Stay Spooky & Magical,
