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

1

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,
LDG Nicole

Freaky Fanatics: Kelly Doty Rocks The Decay On An Upcoming Ink Master Angels

Last night we were tuned into Ink Master and a commercial for the future episodes of Ink Master Angels came on. I screamed out “HOLY SHIT! THAT’S MY BARRETTE!” My husband then re-winded our DVR and low and behold there was the incredible Kelly Doty on our TV screen, rocking the Dead Girl Skullerfly barrette I made and gave to her at last year’s Villain Arts Chicago Tattoo Convention.

If you are not familiar with the show, here is a great video used to market the new season. It’s of the tattoo artist hosts/judges being asked about their take on fashion. It really sums up why I wanted to make and give Kelly a custom piece of my Dead Girl Decay line!  When I made it I was inspired by who she is. Hence all the fun green tones I used. Not only is she an amazing artist, whose work I admire so much (would be a dream come true to be tattooed by her), but I thought she would really appreciate my creepy cute creations due to her eclectic goth style. This was definitely confirmed by her reaction the day I gave it to her, but seeing her wearing it on TV really makes me honored to know I am a part of what makes her so unique and amazing.

Freaky Fanatics: 10 Month Old Mia

If you recall, back in November I made Mummy and Me Dead Girl Decay barrettes as a baby shower gift for my cousin’s girlfriend and their soon to be baby girl Mia. Here is a photo to refresh the old memory…

Well I bring this up because today I was tagged on Instagram in the most adorable photos of Mia. She finally has hair and therefore was able to wear her Sugar Skull barrette for her 10 month photos. How perfect that it’s during my favorite month and time of year. And a purple jack o lantern as a photo prop. How freaking adorable!
