I just love the polka dot ones. My mom had some of these and she threw them all out at some point. Since retro is so popular right now, you could probably find some of these styles in sewing patterns. Of course, you could always look for vintage patterns or make your own pattern if you’re a good seamstress.
This site has some of the coolest modern art knitting type things. I really like the look of the purse, except I would want it as a sweater. You could make something like this. If you don’t knit, get a grey sweater from a thrift shop, and cut up some socks and sew them on the sweater.

Wow, these are almost an oxymoron in and of themselves. You could make something like these yourself. You would need a skull mold unless you could sculpt them yourself. Make or buy a skull mold. Use some sculpey or similar clay to mold the skull. Wrap some aluminum foil around the heels to protect them, then push the heel into the top of the mold to give the skull the right curvature. After the skulls are done, attach to the heels with strong adhesive like gorilla glue or liquid nails. Paint heels and/or skulls if desired. Apply clear sealer to protect the paint.
