In the dead of night, you try to trod softly to draw no attention. Although she has no eyes, make no mistake- Iris knows you are there...

Thrift store toy beautician head - 2.50
5 screws - .25?
2 brads- .02?
laundry basket- 2.00
curby's animated deer motor - ($10 x .3 = $3.00)
scrap wood - .50?
Misc Acrylic paint combined - $1.00?
thrift store black sheet - .90
8" long thick wire - .25?
Leaves- Free
Old broken wood painting pole- .3 rule = $1?
6 cable ties- 1.00?

Total = 12.42

Actually everything besides the head and sheet came from curbies or scrap from former projects, but it didn't hurt to put a price on everything anyway. heh

[pyro]

cool sickie, -- good job----glad to see you made this challenge

[Sickie Ickie]

so am I, Pyro. wasn't easy, but I did it! :)

[Ghoulbug]

Looks cool sickie.....great idea

[Haunted Bayou]

Dang Sickie...that is an awsome prop!
I love that it has no eyes and bloooood and animated too.

[Lilly]

Good Job Sickie..glad you finished it.
I like the no- eyes

[Phil]

I second the nice job. Sickie, would you believe that we have been working on an eyeless girl prop as well? Twisted minds must think alike...

[HrdHeaded1]

Glad I was never a dolly person.. freaky.. looks like something one of the kids on the Adams Family would play with hehehe.. Nice job!

[Sickie Ickie]

Thanks Lilly, HB, and Ghoulbug. :) I had fun making it, plus it is so easy that I am going to animate some other things I had plans on doing but I was too chicken to try! heh

Phil- Great minds certainly do think alike here! I think that's what makes this list so great- we tend to encourage each other instead of trying to tear each other down.

Hrd- Something Wednesday would enjoy burying and unburying in the basement? LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

BTW, somebody wanted a close up of the extremely simple mech for this.

[RAWR]

I would not want that by my bed when I wake up. Great job

[RookieSpooker]

NNNNOOOOOO!! That's one of those "poltergeist clowns" that's just uneasy to have around the house. I would say "Put her in a cage"....but that it would just make it worse. If nothing else, Sticky, you got my vote for creeeeepy. Great job.

[dave the dead]

very cool prop Sickie! Nice and creepy...

[Dr Morbius]

Ahhhh, an animated prop...and a great one at that! I just might have to vote for this, of course I'm biased towards the animated ones. Nice work, SI!

[Sickie Ickie]

Rawr- I would be worried if you took it to bed to begin with! LOL j/k

Rookie, Dave and Doc- Thanks! I was hoping the creepy factor worked. :googly:

[beelce]

REALLY nice Sickie!!!...I love the empty head behind the eyes holes...Nice animation too...now I know what to do with my giant Barbie heads.

[Sickie Ickie]

Glad it is of some inspiration to you Beelce. Lord knows this whole site has been an inspiration to me!

[turtle2778]

I need to keep checking curbies for reindeer motors. Nice prop Sickie, i loved it. My daughter said NOOOO you cant have my barbie for THAT!!! I loved it. :D

[Bethene]

Wow, Sickie, what a creepy prop! Love the eyes, BTW,actually love the whole thing, just the eyes give it the extra creep factor that sends it over the top! I did get a deer motor on clearance, hmmmm, now I have to be on the look out for the doll head!

[scareme]

"Iris I could see more of you, but I don't have any eyes." That's just ickie, Sickie. Love it.

[Sickie Ickie]

Scare, Bethene and Turtle- thanks for the complements. The local thrift store here has those Barbie beauty heads on a regular-ish basis. I started early this year buying them anytime I saw them knowing I could always use them for something. :D

[Spooklights]

That is creepy!

[slimy]

The movement adds to the creepy factor.

Good job, Mr. Ickie, good job.

[Hellrazor]

Yikes, I wouldnt want to happen upon her in the dark! Excellent job!

[Ms. Wicked]

LOL Bryce - Great Job! I too am glad to see your prop in the contest!!!!

[Sickie Ickie]

Spook, Slimy, Hell, and Ms W- thanks guys. :)

I almost missed it altogether with the recent chaos, but I'm proud I "created" time to enter again!

[Fangs]

SWEET Iris Sickie!!!!!!! That is one "Sickie" looking prop!!! :devil: heeheeheehee Love the leaves in her hair! Hope all is better for you now Sickie!!! :D

[BoysinBoo]

I've been trying to figure what creeps me out the most. I think it's the name. I mean, how the #$&! can you name something Iris that doesn't even have any?

[Sickie Ickie]

LOL I have to admit, if it wasn't for my sick humor, I'd have no humor at all. :D

[BoysinBoo]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make fun of your humor when its sick. I'll wait to make fun of it until it gets better. LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

Joke's on you... It ain't getting better none! :p

[Wyatt Furr]

Bryce,
ok ...that thing creeped me out.
nice job :)

[Sickie Ickie]

Thanks Wyatt. heh Hopefully I'll get more time to myself to create more creepy animated thangs.

[Haunted Bayou]

Yeah, I caught the "iris"/lack of irises. LOL!
I think you did great for a first attempt at animation. I need to be more brave and give it a go.

[Sickie Ickie]

Yep, give it a go. Now I'm having all kinds of ideas! :)

[PrettyGhoul]

Great job Sickie Ickie! If I came across Iris she would make me scream. :eek: Is it wrong that I love her name? hehe ;)

[Sickie Ickie]

Only if it's wrong that my wife thought it up! LOL

[Silent Requiem]

its awsome! i especially like the sockets, very realistic.

[Sickie Ickie]

thank you. :)

[Daughter of Darkness]

I have a thing for creepy dolls,this is neat!:devil:

[Sickie Ickie]

I hear they have a thing for you, too! :p

[Aelwyn]

That's amazing! I mean, dolls creep me out as it is....but that one would seriously have me curled in a fetal position, crying. Good job!

Now I know what I'm going to do with those doll-hairdressing-heads I find at the thrift stores.....

[Sickie Ickie]

Here ya find em for $2-3. What little princess wouldn't have fun with a knife in one hand hacking the eyeballs out of the doll head in the other hand? LOL
