Pocket Zombie

After making the penguin for my coworker, I went on a trip to Walmart to see if they sold the doll joints that I use as safety eyes in my projects.  Well it turns out that no, they don't sell them there.  As I strolled along the craft isles, however, I found this bag of tiny buttons and thought to myself, "I want to make something with these!!!!"  (I think I was the only person in the store to get that excited over buttons.)  I purchased a bag and journeyed home feeling very, very crafty.

At this time I had just completed the game Plants vs. Zombies on the Nintendo DS.  In the game, as your plants shoot peas and other things at the attacking zombies, they steadily lose body parts until they are defeated.  This inspired me to create a tiny pocket-sized zombie with detachable skin.

Without Skin



With Skin

I crocheted tiny pants and an exposed heart to finish off the piece.  The detachable skin is connected to the rest of the arm by a small piece of yarn so that it cannot be misplaced.

Cutest Zombie Ever

Pocket Zombies: If the zombie's in your pocket, he's not eating your brains.
