MerryXmas Intestine Babies

For Christmas, I went to visit my family in Guelph, Ontario again. Thanks to a spectacular Christmas gift (100 Canadian dollars) I made a killing at the Value Village thrift store, my favorite place in the whole world.

Among the treasures that I picked up was this set of wall ornaments - angel babies wrapped in some kind of wreath.

After a quick paint job, the wreaths became bloody intestines and the babies became much cuter:

Tattooed Anti-Christ Hanging Baby

One day, I came home to find a plastic baby on my bed. It was another dollar store gift from my housemate, Sally.

I gave her a little paint pen makeover as practice for a tattooed leg lamp that I am still in the process of finishing.  She's one of those dolls where the eyes close when you turn her upside down, just like Satan.

I never had much talent at drawing but, given the right materials, I can trash something in minutes:

The anti-christ baby now hangs in the middle of my bedroom (which may explain why I rarely entertain guests in my room).

Mother Mary Night Light

My housemate Sally is as much a fan of dollar store trash as I am, so I was totally stoked when she came home one day with a plastic Mother Mary night light from a dollar store in North Philly. It gradually became this:

And now hangs in my bathroom:

(If you're religious and this offends you then that sucks, but I answer to a higher power: plastic googly eyes.)
