✨🌿🍄 Meet the Shacklings 🍄🌿✨

I haven't counted exactly yet, but there are a few dozen stories of these little huts in my new book. Would you like to meet a few of them?

You can help create more weird little stories! Join the fun:
Kickstarter.com/projects/babayaga/shackling

Graphite drawing of a chicken-legged Baba Yaga hut with an eyeball over the door and a little stone stovepipe. Text below reads, "This hut was an independent Shackling. They would spend most of the afternoon alone, dozing in the squash leaves or nibbling at my cucumbers. In the evenings, though, they would come in to sit by the hearth and help me spin yarn. I'd sneak them little pieces of pickled vegetables when the others weren't looking.

You can make banana surprise. You put banana on plate…….melt peanut butter and Nutella and pour it over banana. Cover banana in whipped cream and top with chocolate chips or heath bits. Enjoy. Basically you make a sundae with no icecream (I had no icecream). 😂

While I’m in the hospital would be great if peeps checked out my shop ❤️

Post-convention means several stock changes in the shop ♥

Sold out of a few animal puns, hoping to get them restocked before AAC but we'll see how my health cooperates.

Photo of a polymer clay ornament of a pink and green dragon sculpted to look like a dragonfruit. It's got a white belly with spots, green spots/scales, and green horns.

A pair of polymer clay earrings dangling from the rim of a glass. The earrings are that of albino corvids, white birds with pink feet and beaks and red eyes.. The earring hooks are black.

A polymer clay charm on a satin cord necklace wrapped around a hand. The charm is that of a severed foot which is beige, with a red area where it was "cut" and a bone sticking out.

Photo of a polymer clay shark sticking out of a small terracotta pot. The shark is the same color as the pot with several succulents around it, on top of it's head, and white rocks in the dirt around it too.

I’m a SLEEPY girl. I was like so tired driving there. I got all strapped up to lay in bed awake for 5 hours before giving up and leaving. I was so mad. She then said oh we could have given you sleeping meds. Thanks for telling me after.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Prepping five mini-prints for my Shackling project, and I think this one is my favorite 🍄✨🌿🐓

They'll be available next month through this:
Kickstarter.com/projects/babayaga/shackling

Black and white graphite drawing with a white border. Text under the drawing reads "Melissa Sue Stanley - Magic will find you"
The drawing is of a Baba Yaga chicken-legged hut in the woods with an eyeball in the front where a dormer window would be. It's looking up at a butterfly-winged fairy that's glowing a bit in the upper left corner.

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.

It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

Photo of a sculpture about 5 inches tall of a baby version of the d and d owl bear in foliage. A leaf sits on its head. Eyes are wide and expression seems as if this creature doesn’t know it exists yet. No brain cells.

In Nicole’s hand she’s holding a small sculpture of an owl bear. The owl bear is holding a stick with berries in its mouth and has a derpy wide eyed expression.

I don't blabber about it too much but I still occasionally illustrate beer labels. I still really like this one I did earlier in the summer. It's the only sort of art that I do completely digitally.

(logo and text removed, obvs)

The image is a prairie landscape at dusk with a crescent moon and stars barely showing in the sky. In the foreground a broken wagon wheel has flowers growing through it next to some rocks, and a skull rests in the middle.
