It was only a matter of time...

...before I desecrated an American Idol of the 1930's.


I give you,
ZomBetty!!!

I've done a ZomBuddha and a ZomBaby, so it seemed
a natural progression to make a ZomBetty.
Or a ZomBoop if you prefer.

My son has had this unpainted greenware Betty Boop for a few years
that was given to him from a friend. It had been collecting dust on his
shelf so I confiscated it and promised to bring her back in one piece.
My son is slowing (painfully slow at times!) turning to the dark side so
he was actually quite excited at the prospect of having his Mom zombify
one of his ceramic pieces.
I painted her out in acrylics, added glow in the dark paint on her eyes
and on the highlights of her dress.
My son loves it.

Okay, who's next?!
