Zombie Survival Kit

 Well, creativity takes many forms. This kit was put together over the course of two days, to give to Finn on his 11th bday.

Here is a list of contents:

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL KIT
“If it’s moaning keep going.” 

This Kit has been specifically designed to ensure survival in the first days of the Zombie Apocalypse, after which time… well… 

Map (because your GPS will not work any more. Remember- moss on the north side of trees.)
Gauze (both for First Aid and for disguise)
Fake blood (to disguise yourself as an already infected zombie)
Glow-stick (light source)
Garbage bag (rain poncho, carry-all, tarp, alternative clothing)
Garlic and silver cross (vs Vampire zombies)
White Powder (to aid in tracking zombies and killing them before they kill you)
Earplugs (so you don’t go mad listening to the moaning)
Tongs (for retrieving unsavory body parts for testing)
Thermos (for body parts, or water-- remember which!!)
20’ Zombie outbreak hazard tape (to warn others of infected areas)
2 shoelaces (doubles as rope, assorted handy uses including binding prisoner zombies who still have their arms and legs)
Wooden skewer and metal prong (weapons, marshmallow toaster)
Anti-zombie aerosol spray/ after-bite antiviral disinfectant (self-explanatory)
Zombie outbreak response badges (to ID members of your team)
Zombie targets (to keep your gun finger well-exercised. Due to Canadian gun laws, we cannot include a gun in this kit though it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you have several, and about 10000 rounds of ammunition.) 
Assorted badges and signs

Clay dioramas


 These two (raw, as yet unfired) dioramas were inspired by the work of Londoner Danielle Wood, who is a fabric artist displaying work at Canzarro House in Wimbledon, where I stayed Dec 2011 for my aunt Kiki's wedding. Just for fun, I 've included Danielle's lovely work in this post. Keep your eyes peeled over the weeks to come to see how these glaze up.
