I stash, you stash, we all DEstash!!

Destash blitz at the MSC Lab!!

Hey there, fellow crafters and DIYers! *poke*

My supplies are literally taking over the house. So, to clear out the surplus, TONS of new craft & sewing supplies are being added to my Etsy shop. Fabric, beads, jewelry findings, stamping supplies, sewing tools, trims, art supplies, you name it. Listing as fast as I can but this might take awhile! *sigh*

Stop on by to snap up some deals.

MSC now on Facebook!

Mad Science Creations now has a Facebook presence!

Adventures with black spray paint!

My long-time obsession with spray paint rears its head again....

Years ago, I picked up an old wicker settee. It looked so ragged and worn in shades of mud brown that I almost pitched it to the curb many times. Well, on a whim, I decided to, as Mick Jagger says, "paint it black." I am SO glad I did! Now it is one of my fave things. Check out the before and after...

And I didn't stop there!

I also whipped out the spray paint and attacked 2 wicker cabinets, one of which had a cool mirror, that I just snagged at a thrift store a few months ago. Sorry, no before shots. My bad.

Observe... :)

Hopefully I didn't fry too many brain cells from the fumes after years of this behavior.

Vampires and other things that are Blood Red.

Huzzah! Just listed a couple of new clothing items. For some odd reason, both are predominately red. Hmmm...could be a coincidence. Or my muse could be channeling my vampire themed life of late. TrueBlood's season 2 is on and I started reading "New Moon" at the behest of a pile of friends.

Speaking of the Undead, I recently added a couple of fangy offerings to my store: a Vampire Hat and Vampire Hoodie. :)

Back to the new stuff....

Anyway, the first offering is a new skirt style, a ruffly, flouncy design using coordinating fabrics with a comfy wide waist panel of medium weight black knit, that I plan to make more of. The body is a wicked tattoo and wings print of grey and black on a red background. The ruffle is striped grey and black.




The second is a zip front patchwork dress that I started 2 months ago, got sidetracked, and finally completed. It is gothic mix of carnivale and creepy goodness. I threw in a variety of fabric types (from satin to spiderweb mesh) and prints (harlequin to stripes).

Go ahead and check 'em out. You know you wanna. ;)

Zombies, part deux...

Another creepy submission by moi for the Etsy Dark Team!! The August theme is "They Live on Fear" and what could fit the bill more than a zombie offering?

Amble slowly to my shop and check out my Zombie Brains hardware necklace! :) And for die-hard (or should I say dead) fans, check out this humorous zombie article about those pesky moaning critters with a gruesome palate.

Z is for Zombies

For pretty obvious reasons, I want this reaaaaally bad! *looks longingly at the photo*

It has always been SO dangerous for me to hang out on the ThinkGeek site.

Do I have small children? Nope, we are pet parents but that doesn't qualify. I am just a sucker for twisted toys. Now I need to think of a way to rationalize ordering yet another strange collectible for my evil lair.

Save Some $$ - MSC's Back to School Promotion!

Makes me think of that funny Staples commercial where the parents are dancing with happiness in the aisles while the kids give them evil looks as they buy school supplies. *eg*
