About Malle
When your grand niece has a passion for the un-dead, a zombie doll for Christmas is what you make! After doing a little research, I decided not to go with a full-fledged "Shawn of the Dead" figure, but rather something that more closely conjures up Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas". I have to get this one in the mail so I can't fool around with it more, otherwise I'd probably go after it with some red paint and a shredder to see what happens. I'm going to make a boy zombie doll for her brother today, and since boys are usually much more icky than girls (i.e., tolerant of blood, guts and dirt), I can probably do some down and dirty fun stuff with him. :)
Malle is made from 100% organic cotton fabric, grown and woven in the USA. Her eyes are rescued buttons from an old rain coat, and her arm joints are secured with vintage buttons from my dad's collection (he was in Asia during WWII and collected them while there). Her face is painted with professional grade acrylic paints. She wears a little silver chain on her left arm, which also has a long gash with stitching. Her black and purple lace dress is from a recycled blouse. The pictures don't show it, but she wears a pair of black lace boy shorts underneath the dress. A pair of black lace ribbons set off her little pasty white ankles.
Stay tuned for the boy zombie. In the meantime, enjoy Malle!! (Pronounced "Mah-lay").
