The Zombie Barbie Garden

[Kitsa]

I want to get a bunch of cheapies at the dollar store and make an army of the Barbie Undead marching across my snapdragons.

I used cheapie acrylic paint (if you can't tell) with a little bit of pearlescent for shine. I screwed up a couple and will have to repaint them- they're too shiny and look like androids, not zombies.

I had a horrifying experience while making the one with the green dress. I had the bright idea to rub dirt all over her, so I took her out to the garden where I'd just pulled up a bunch of zucchini plants and it was all dusty. I reached for a handful and rubbed it into her dress, then realized that something didn't smell like dirt. Then I felt the gooeyness. I had a handful of the local stray's catshit.

Not a good thing to happen to an OCD handwasher, I can tell you that.
