BlackwaterFX

Something on my bucket list right now is to do a zombiewalk, where many many people participate by dressing like zombies and walking around town pretending it is a zombie apocalypse. To create an awesome zombie costume, one must aquire awesome effects and props. When I do, I know exactly where I am going!

A happy customer:




The feature of the day is just the place for you if you have the same desires. Or if you want some kick ass props for Halloween or whatever other creepy ideas you may be mulling around in your skull.

Todays special feature is BlackwaterFX







At Black Water FX we provide movie quality horror props all year around. We are a husband & wife team. My husband makes most of the items. The Blood Splatter line was inspired by Silent Hill. We just started making Halloween items sometime last year. We had sold a few of our prosthetics on eBay, but decided to move over to Etsy. Why? Well, I believe people on Etsy appreciate hand made items more & it's a much friendly environment than eBay and other websites. What keeps us motivated? Well, Halloween of course :-) We try to keep our items life like. The more real it looks, the better & creepier. However, we do make other holiday items such as Christmas, but only during the Halloween off-season. If you're interested in purchasing one of our props or would like a custom prop built or have any questions, feel free to contact us.

CINCH IT UP SINNER!! Lets Rock!

Oh the woes of individuality, shopping in the mainstream can get downright depressing. I learned early on (middle school and up) That the best way to cope is by deconstruction, making it yourself, find someone who can, or find a really special shop that doesn't sell a million of the same boring t-shirts. Well look-out because the whole list is right here ghouls. This rocker chick has some wicked cool creations!And more in the works! **Cue the Tesla coils, bubbling test tubes and fiendish laughter**

Today's feature is.....CandiStrange!






Seller Message:
so my name is strange Candi. i was developed in a crazy experiment at the wonka factory.
for as long as i can remember i have made things. and for as long as i care to remember i have been in sweet undying love with the underground.
i make my own clothes and accessories because for one thing, i like nothing i can pick up off a rack. i just cannot settle for the same stupid crap everyone else is running around in. i also haven't come across many diy shops selling my specific brand of insanity soooo i must make do for myself.
I'm a strange crafter in the fact that i don't make or even follow patterns. every item i make is completely constructed using any methods or materials that will work and have quality.
I'm always thinking up new ways i can do things and sampling different methods for quality before ever making available to the public.
most people look at a plane shirt and see....a shirt. i look at it and see a canvas and a doorway to my creativity.
not only do i make things completely from scratch, but i cant pass up an opportunity to improve other cool stuff i have or find. so while not all of my stuff is completely hand made, it's certainly not what it was before either.
one of my favorite things is to make corset type lace up tops out of pants legs. it always works out well, and they always look fantastic.
i'm also not one of those people who just take any ol shirt and upcycle it. i look for vintage AND rare. I've made many friends mad because i don't particularly fancy "updoing" any old item. i have to have a love for it in the first place or it just wont turn out right.
one of the more awesome things i do with my time is my "traveling punk rock store" i have a big giant bag i fill with random goods I've made and literally lug it around town wherever i go and approach people who look like they may be interested, or just hang out with my kids at the park and set up shop on a picnic table or something. it's a great way to meet people and get the word out about myself.
but when it all comes down to it, i just rock n roll. it's my main priority in life.

Now is a great time to head on over to her shop www.candistrange.etsy.com she is having a big sale to make room for new stock! save up to ten bucks on awesome gear!

Stolen Away to the Fae

Today's feature is the lovely FaerieDustDesigns
Now its no secret amongst my peers that I have an affinity for the world of Faerie, so this shop makes me happy on multiple levels :) Faeries and horror you might ask? Well yes definitely, some of the first horror stories ever told were ones that involved the Fae. Kidnapping, pinching, mind erasing spells, time suckers and more, not all creatures in the faery realm are sweet.





Not that there is anything wrong with the ones that are. I love pink glitter and tutus as much as the next gal.




And who hasn't fantasized about flight at some point in there life?

Tattooed on My Heart

Todays shop feature is Vickideath. Goodness I can honestly say I got giddy when I saw she joined the Horror Couture team as she was one of my first favorite etsy shops and the reason I started a blog in the first place so long ago, as I stumbled upon her blog and was so entertained that I subscribed right then and there! I Love everything in her shop and if I had the money they would all be mine and you all could just go and suck an egg. But I don't: so I suppose I cant be selfish and must share her with the world. Actually I am honored to present to you. Miss VickiDeath.

Bio:
I'm an independent artist based in Liverpool, UK. With a love for all things horror, sci-fi and tattoo related, I combine these passions to create some pretty unique, original and horrific pieces of art. Think Frankenstein's Monster meets a Tattoo studio, and you'll be pretty close!
From paintings, to ceramics. Clothing to fiendish jewellery boxes, I try not to limit what I create my art on.
All work is original. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind items! I also love taking on custom orders!
