Of all the items I’ve come across since we started Craftastrophe, I don’t know that I’ve been as concerned for a crafter as I am right now. This individual has actually successfully creeped me right the f*ck out – which was no doubt, the reaction they were hoping to garner.
Yet, I am completely amazed by the amount of detail that has gone into creating this little zombie family.
A shrine to Barbie, complete with a zombie cookie.
Um. Riiiigght.
Padded cell for one please!

Not since the dead kitty doll, or the crochet birthing doll have I been so wigged out.
It’s just so incredibly wrong.
But somehow, strangely mesmerizing, too.

Doesn’t every one have a shrine to a zombie Barbie in their room? I guess I didn’t realize it wasn’t an everyday thing. Learn something new on the internet every day.

Yup, yup, gonna head me on down to the Goodwill and buy me some Barbies. Gonna paint them up to look like skeletons and make a wreath outta them. See what I did there? Took to craptastic ideas and turned them into a craptacular one. I’m brilliant. Now pass the cheese.

I’m from Texas, this doesn’t bug me. Skull dollies are actually common Mexican folk art (though I can’t recall ever seeing Barbies repurposed as such). The shrine is a Dia de los Muertos shrine–you have the photograph of the deceased, & her favorite food. The holiday is often celebrated by spending it with the dead (we will take any excuse to barbeque & drink beer, even if it requires being in a cemetery). This is unique, and out of season, but if it really disturbs you, you should probably stay far away from San Antonio, because we sell this sort of thing year ’round. (It’s also a pretty common collectible.) And the folks at Mi Tierra still have their shrine up.

@Sabra, Sorry for replying to myself; I forgot something. The orange things are most likely meant to be tissue paper flowers, another common bit, both to decorate the shrines and just in general. (I made them in elementary school.)

Yeah, I was going to say that this was TOTALLY an homage to Dia De Los Muertos. Very cool!

This is awesome – and a great Dia de Los Muertos Shrine thing. A fabulous idea.
I know, it looks weid, but I love Dia de los Muertos art!
