That is very cool. You should probably go ahead and turn those into molds so they don't melt, though. o_o

How did I make them? I just lit a candle, poured off the wax that collected, waited for it to become semi soft and malleable, then moulded it into the skulls. I got a piece of wire and heated it in the candleflame, then burnt the eyeholes , mouths and nose. 
Maggot, for some reason I have found this wax hard to melt. I have left it in full sun before and it only went a bit soft. I'm more afraid of them breaking up than melting! I always have to remind myself not to sleep in it in case I lie on them in the night and crack them XD
I guess I could try making a mould from plastacine or something..

Well then make a mold so you can remake them if they crack!

So basically this is it.
]
It says THE SISTERS OF MERCY along the bottom in the same red as the logo.
I tried to get a picture of the back, but the text wouldn't show up on camera for some stupid reason. On the back is the line " In the western sky the kill to show for "
This me wearing it ( crappy shot but the best I could get )

@ Haunted House: Your jacket is tight. I wish I could see the front, but the image link is broken. Please post more pics as it comes along!
@chelseagirl: It seems your images are broken... 
@ BlackButterfly: Fucking AWESOME! Black Mage ftw!! All of the stuff you made is so creative! Thanks for the sewing advice as well, I needed a nod in the right direction.
@ Cicero: I looooove the stencilwork, and I plan to do some myself rather shortly. I've penned the designs, but I'm unsure how to get them in stencil form. Any ideas?
There is a lot of DIY talent on g-net!

I've made a few things. My biggest accomplishment was my studded and patched jacket. I bought a jean jacket cheap, then I ordered 200 studs, and various patches from a DIY shop, and put it all on myself. Bands on the jacket include: MDC, Dead Kennedys (back patch), Discharge, DOA, Conflict, SS Decontrol, Crass, The Exploited and The Casualties. For this summer I'm making a studded and patched vest out of a West German army fleck camo jacket and British cone studs. I'm going to have a Varukers back patch and 8 other different bands (mainly English, Swedish and Japanese). I'll eventually post pics of me in both.

Hey, thanks . I've got shitloads that I've done since I last posted in this thread... just got to get around to getting some pictures up, haha.
By penned I guess you mean drawn? For stencilling just make sure to keep the image simple with no shading or anything. I print or draw all my stencil designs onto thick photo paper (and it's only photo paper because that's what comes in the right thickness) then cut out the bits I want painted. Some are far more complicated than others - e.g. text vs. actual images. Just take your time and don't lose any of the tiny pieces, haha.

Goggles
I am currently making some steampunk-ish goggles ( I know not everyone is a fan but I reckon I might be able to pull it off hopefully )
I started with two thick cardboard tubes from inside the reels of tape we use in the machines at work. Perfect size for goggle eyepieces. I joined them with a steel screw and nuts.
I then glued on a couple of polarising lenses from a Nikon my Dad no longer owns and therefore has no need of .
]
Then I added thick/stiff card eyecups and covered the whole lot in thin stretchy black leather. I covered the nuts with copper wire and added leather to the screw/nosebridge to stop it digging into my nose. Also added Brass curtain rings , which I will be attatching the strap to. I have some little metal buckles for the strap.
]
]
I need to paint the black plastic rims with brass paint, and I might add some watch hands to the one lens ( four O clock is tea time! )
Watch this space...

those are exceptional, especially considering the range of materials you've pulled together. Looking at the last picture, industrial cardboard tubing is the LAST thing I'd have thought... You have quite a creative streak, young lady, between being able to make beads of candle wax, the siouxsie shirt, the nail art, and so on. Not only are they all really, really good, they all have originality. Keep it up! I can't wait to see what''s next!

No no I didn't make the Siouxsie shirt, I bought that from the show. Blimey I'm not that good at painting! xD Methinks you mean the Sisters one 
And thankyou! Heh, I'd post my DIY AFI bracelet ( I am really really proud of it ) but they are quite frowned upon here so I didn't bother

Suggestions for what to do with my current black top.
It is a medium black cotton men's t-shirt from primark. I have cut off the sleeves, and have butchered the neckline as well. It can now be worn with a low front and high back, or high back and low front. It's fairly loose on me. It's being worn with black very, very ripped fishnets worn over solid purple tights on my arms.
Do I
-cut the rest of the way down the low side and make it lace up
-cut all the way down one/both sides make that bit lace up
-add d-rings and not cut anything else, for lace up? (if so, the low or the high side?)
-Paint something on the high side (if so, what?)
-cut it short till it's just a loose crop top?
I don't want to bleach it, bleach doesn't match my aesthetic.
