Undead Bluefish . . .

I have to share pictures of the zombie doll that I received in this year's Zombie Doll Swap.

This year's theme was Dr. Seuss zombies.  I gave my swap partner the choice of any character from 

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

I read that book so often to my kids when they were little - I still can recite much of it.  My partner chose the "Blue Fish".

Undead Bluefish is AMAZING!

My swap partner Shelly did such a great job.  It looks like he is made out of paper-mache . . . he shimmers with glitter and sequins . . . and makes me smile. 

Today was good. Today was fun. 

Tomorrow is another one.

Daisy-Head Mayzie as a zombie . . .

 My swap partner received her package . . . so I am able to share pictures of the zombie doll I made for this year's Zombie Doll Swap.  Thank you as always Valerie for hosting this fun swap!  I look forward to this swap every year!

For this swap we had to create a zombie doll of a Dr. Seuss character.  One of the character choices that my swap partner gave me was Daisy-Head Mayzie.  I either had never read this Dr. Seuss book, or if I had, I had forgotten.  How could I resist making a zombie doll with a daisy growing out of her head.  

So . . . my version of Daisy-Head Mayzie as a zombie and my version of her story . . . 

You may know the story of Daisy McGrew.

A story so outrageous you may ask, “Is it true?”

A real live daisy grew out of her head.

A real live daisy . . . or so it is said.

 

There is more to this story than a flower in her head.

They say she now walks . . . among the undead.

How did this happen?  We do not know.

Maybe it was how the daisy began to grow.

 

Out of her head and into her brain.

No wonder this daisy became such a pain.

The other kids asked Daisy, “Now what will you do?”

“I guess,” Daisy answered, “I will get used to this too.
