Spooky Halloween time!

This year's Halloween entry comes from the ever-awesome Melanie Ann Green of Feltmeupdesigns. Her latest Kickstarter project was for pins and felted versions of...

Count Pengula the Jampire!

What is a Jampire? Well, according to the lore, a penguin can become one by eating a mouldy jammy biscuit. As a result, the penguin turns into an immortal being with an endless graving for jam! Count Pengula is particularly partial to Jammie Dodgers.

This adorable little guy came with a Zine covering his backstory – from an 'interview with a Jampire' all the way down to family tree. It's brilliant, tongue in cheek stuff. And hey, I'm sure you've realised by now that I'm a real sucker for penguin-themed parodies of pop-culture.

On a related note, Count Pengula shipped with a couple of Jammie Dodgers. They are British biscuit you can't get in Finland, but I've been curious to know what they're like. I've seen Daleks defeated with them and now undead penguins live off of them, so I'm happy to at last be in-the-know!

Finally; you, too, can adopt a tiny Jampire – either in this felted form or as a pin – at Feltmeupdesigns Etsy store!
