Zombie decor for a bathroom?

Brainy themes are always in style. ;)

This undead decor is "to die for"!! ;) Appreciation goes out to Zombie Queen for sharing her creepy cool video which features one of Madsylvania's offerings: a zombie kitty hand towel. *need to go shopping for the walker themed items shown here*

Spring has sprung

Flowers are blooming everywhere and with spring, new listings are popping up in the shops. The newest offering in Madsylvania is a twisted Easter item. Damien, the Deviled Egg, is a sinister but adorable plushie who would love to menace your home for the season.

Also available are dark themed Embroidery Hoop Art Wall Hangings with crafters in mind. All are constructed from vintage hoops with a machine embroidered image.

Off to work on more new items for Magicwerks!! 

Don't be afraid of Maxwell the Angry Knife

Just finished up a "killer" project. Behold, my entry for the Urban Threads "Monster Bash Contest."

Maxwell the Angry Knife is one creepy cutlery dude. He may have anger issues but he has a soft side too.

Oh and he's now available at the Madsylvania Etsy Shop. On a roll, so be ready for some new sinister toys and other goodies. :)

Goodies for your dark Valentine

Loads of Anti-Valentine's goodies have been added to the Madsylvania shop. It's not to late to grab some dark heart related products. Everything from corsets to embroidered towels to jewelry. Shown below is a portion of what's available and more will be added this week.

Super Bowl Sunday new product sneak peek

A recent commissioned order was for a Green Bay Packers fleece shrug. Even though I'm the daughter of a college basketball coach, I'm just not into sports. Quidditch is as close as I'll get. ;) So soon (tentatively, this spring) I'll be making available shrugs for football, basketball and baseball teams. The logo will be machine embroidered and the hood lining/sleeve cuffs will be the team colors. And what better day for a sneak peek than the big game?

Got Snark?

Want to express your Anti-Valentine's Day sentiment? Snap up a Snarky Heart Plush Clipon at the Madsylvania Etsy shop and show some attitude. Six styles are available: Go Away, Piss Off, Bite Me, You Suck, Hate You and Get Lost. Shown in the photo are black with machine embroidered blood red text but if you prefer a different color felt and/or font, no problem.

Oh and Happy Friday the 13th! To celebrate, my hubby and I will be spending it with Morticia & Gomez. ;) We have tickets to the Addams Family musical tonight. Good creepy fun.

Last chance for new unique holiday stocking designs!

Have a gift card or small treasure? Why present it in a boring box? *yawn* Madsylvania now offers small felted stockings with unique machine embroidered designs such as a black widow spider or a kitty cameo or a phoenix. They are also small enough to hang on a tree and look pretty killer!

And in my Magicwerks shop, now available are full-size Harry Potter felt stockings for all 4 houses.

Time is running out to grab your holiday stocking! I will be on vacation until Dec. 28 but in stock orders will shipped until Dec. 21 via Priority Mail. No new Made-To-Order items will be accepted until after the new year. Have a diabolical holiday season! :)

Out of town for Turkey Day but never fear, any orders will be shipped on Monday, Nov. 28.

Ready for the zombie apocalypse?

Even the walking dead need to be stylish and warm as they shamble about the forests and alleys in search of tasty brains. ;)

Just listed, a killer Zombie Zip-Up Shrug in the Madsylvania shop. Loads of machine embroidery and yes, bite marks.

Welcome and Happy Halloween from the forest primeval

Join me as I continue to creep into the Blogosphere on a gloomy Hallow's Eve.

From my inital foray into online selling of my designs in 2004, I've been known as Mad Science Creations. But of late, I've been dying to change the name of my shop to Madsylvania. A sudden brainstorm for this name hit me while playing World of Warcraft last October. "Mad", as in lunatic fringe (as most creative sorts are), seems to appear in most of my ventures, including my alter-ego, Madviolet. And "Sylvania" refers to my love of forests and the spooky town of Transylvania where Igor assists Dr. Frankenstein with his minion duties.

Now that Etsy has finally allowed shop owners to use a new nomenclature, I was able to do so. Yay! This blog will serve as a portal for all my shops. Prepare for lots of announcements of NEW items from the dark side, contests, tutorials, promotions and other cool stuff. I will also occasionally feature talented artists and their wares just the share their awesomeness.

Oh, and if you are morbidly curious, check out my "new" Etsy shop, Madsylvania.
