The Who
Spooky Geek with a creative streak.
My name is Melanie and I am the force behind NetherNerd Creations. What was originally a source for creativity and dopamine hits, has turned into a passion for sharing my creations with others. I graduated from the Interactive Technology program at NSCC many moons ago, with a specialization in design. Discovering sublimation crafting sparked an opportunity to put that education to good use along with the other crafty mediums I get into (hello, ADHD). I am a fan of many things, and celebrate Halloween all year long. I am a Ghostbuster cosplayer (among other things), and love that the community uses cosplay to raise funds for local charities. You will find items here to support that venture as well.
The Car
*Currently for sale - contact for details*
Wednesday is our 2008 Cadillac Superior Funeral Coach, she lugs all these beautiful crafts to conventions and markets. She also makes appearances around the town of New Glasgow, NS and cosplays as an ECTO from time to time.
FAQs
Is it haunted? No, she is not haunted. Though hearses are custom vehicles, they have their own little gremlins. By the time a body makes its way to a hearse, the person has been long gone. The house however, definitely is haunted.
Is it hard on gas? Not particularly, we don't find much difference to our regular car.
Where do you get a hearse? Funeral homes will sell off their vehicles when they pull them out of their fleet. Check kijiji, fb marketplace, etc. We are currently selling this one, reach out if interested.
Can I take pictures of/with the car? YES! If you post them online, please tag @nethernerdcreations on FB or IG
DTF Printing and customs
Direct-to-Film and custom creations for your business
New to the lineup is custom DTF prints! I love to support other local small businesses and makers and am offering custom DTF printing right here in Pictou County!
DTF is a great way to put your own artwork or your business logo on to apparel or tote bags!
I can also fully make your custom apparel or any other custom branded items. Wholesale pricing is available if you wish to resell your branded items.
Supporting local & Canadian
We all do what we can, and to the best of my ability, I source my blanks and supplies locally first, then within Nova Scotia, then within the Maritimes, followed by within Canada before I go elsewhere. It's a balancing act of quality, costs, and wanting to support other local businesses. When you shop from me, you are not only supporting me and my family, but at the minimum 1 other local business that I bought my supplies from.
