They also carry the Sourpuss brand and tons of punk/metal goodies from jewelry, purses, t-shirts, dresses to towels, shower curtains etc! It’s a must see!

Busy As A Bee
August 22nd, 2011 Posted 7:51 pm
Although it may seem that I’ve been slacking a bit, I’ve actually been keeping myself busy as a bee. I’ve been working hard on my inventory of Calaveras, Bloodshot Eyeballs, and a couple of commission items. Not to mention, I didn’t want to bore everyone here with a ton of picture of the same items.
As promised, here is a picture of my CultGrrrl Creations packaging
It was actually a little harder to get a good picture with the plastic than I thought but I think this does it justice…hopefully
Btw, more pictures of the newer Calaveras can be seen in the gallery.
I hope to have a few more pictures of NEW items soon! I am finally working on the Zombie Elephant today so that should be finished and photographed soon. I should also have a new Monkey to debut within the coming weeks as well.

Apologies
August 16th, 2011 Posted 10:38 am
I just wanted to apologize for leaving anyone waiting to see the new CGC packaging hanging. I did get the bag headers on Friday afternoon and got super busy being a domestic goddess (IE. cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc…) I did take pictures on Saturday morning but then the hubby asked if I wanted to go shopping…well what you think happened? Craft store here I come
lol Of course posting the pictures was put off until Sunday because I had a grrrls night out with the BFF that night. Unfortunately, I got a killer head cold on Sunday and have been out of commission until today. I should have a few pictures posted this evening.
The packaging came out okay…not as close to the color as I wanted, but that can be adjusted very easily the next round. I do have few other minor adjustments that will be made but I am happy with the overall look.
On the amigurumi front, I have come up with a new look for the eyes of my Calavera / Sugar Skull ornaments. I will be packaging these in a 3 pack for the upcoming holi-daze. These are going to look great on Halloween & dark themed X-mas trees. I actually had to keep one for myself for the rear view mirror of my car.
Mind you, this picture doesn’t have the new “eyes” but some roses I found at the craft store. I will have pics posted of a full set with the news eyes soon…I promise

Calavera – Second Attempt
July 20th, 2011 Posted 10:11 pm
So I tried again and I am very happy with this one, if I may say so myself
I’m sure if I keep at it, the next few may have even more embellishments, but we’ll see how that goes. Btw, more pics can be seen in the gallery.
