My newest creation is this fabric art, wintertide tree that I designed and hand-sewed. The ornament is a mild, almost ineffective charm that will help you receive a hot drink that's almost the perfect temperature. The charm will also give you slightly creepy dreams that feature cranberry goblins.
Here's a lovely pic of a green fabric art tree hand-embroidered with red flowers, white snowflake arms, and yellow stars. The edge is blanket stitched with red floss. There's red paper in the background.

As you know, making friends with the local wildlife is an important part of my job as unofficial town sorcerer. Here's a little pic I took of a snowy egret the other day. I thought you might enjoy seeing them.
Here's a lovely photo of a snowy egret wading in a pond with green grass in the background. They have white feathers, a black beak and yellow around the eyes.

Hey Bluesky peeps! My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall.

Think Junji Ito meets Little Women.

Here's a photo featuring a stack of the book Familiar by Jeremy C. Shipp. There's another copy leaning against the stack, with the cover facing the camera. The cover shows an open mouth with lips made of muscle and teeth made of fingers and a tongue made of intestines. In the back of the mouth, there's an eye. My fabric art homunculus is sitting on the stack of books. She's green with big sparkling red eyes and a tiny frown. There's also a black and red mushroom near the stack with a large eye. Near the stack, there's also a pinecone covered with googly eyes.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

For Christmas, I hand-sewed less-than and greater-than creatures for my little niece. She wanted some villains for Number City, her world of number plushies.
Here's a lovely photo of a green fabric art greater-than creature with a yellow eye and six big teeth. He's shaped like a greater-than symbol and the opening forms his mouth. There's also a less-than creature with purple eyeshadow and a pink eye. There's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here are some recent pics I took of my buddy Muscovy duck. I thought you might like to see him.
Here's a lovely photo of Muscovy duck standing at the edge of the cut grass, stretching down and drinking water from the pond. Here's a lovely pic of Muscovy duck resting on a thick root at the edge of the water. Pond water ripples gently in the background.

The swan geese came over to say hello and to screech at me. They like to pretend as if they're going to bite my toes but thankfully they never do. They're nice like that.
Here's a lovely photo of a swan goose staring at me. There's reddish brown dirt in the background.

I'm out on another short walk around the neighborhood as unofficial town sorcerer. I remembered my new Muscovy duck hat, my bag of peanuts, a chapstick, and a small ET figurine for good luck. I'm on the lookout for friendly and moderately friendly creatures of all sorts.
Here's a lovely photo of my brown cap with an embroidered Muscovy duck patch on the front. There's green fur in the background of the pic.

For my birthday, my partner had a patch made based on one of my photos of Muscovy duck and then made me this hat. It's perfect!

My newest creation is this pair of semi-preternatural, fabric art earrings featuring red flowers. I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered them. The metal is stainless steel and hypoallergenic.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art earrings. They're green circles with embroidered flowers, little red stars, and short red and yellow lines. There are also white snowflake sort of patterns. They look like single arms of a snowflake. The earrings are held together with a red blanket stitch. The earrings are a bit puffy. There's a swirly light purple marble paper in the background. Here's another lovely pic of the earrings where you can see a view of them from the side. We can see here that they're puffy earrings. Here's a lovely pic of the earrings where we can see how large they are at scale. They're resting beside a quarter as well as a party dog trading card. The dog is wearing a party hat and sunglasses.

Everyone enjoys hanging out with Muscovy duck, even the crows.
Here's a lovely photo of Theremin hanging out near Muscovy duck. They're standing on reddish brown dirt with a small pond in the background.

All three of my crow buddies, Theremin, Calliope, and Banjo showed up. They feasted on unsalted peanuts.

As usual, Muscovy duck is the first to rush over and greet me. By "rush" I mean that he spent about a hundred years walking about four feet to say hello.
Here's a lovely pic of Muscovy duck standing on cut grass, looking at me as he's rushing over

I'm out on another short walk around the neighborhood as unofficial town sorcerer. I've remembered my hand-embroidered flower cap, my bag of unsalted peanuts, chapstick, and an ET figurine for good luck. I'm on the lookout for omens, corvids, ducks, geese, and other small and medium-sized creatures.
Here's a lovely pic of a small ET figurine (where ET is dressed like a lady in a pink dress and hat) standing beside my green cap. The cap is embroidered with red flowers, and tiny light purple flowers growing from green stems.

I didn't go on an unofficial town sorcerer walk this morning, but I thought I'd share some pics of my buddy Muscovy duck. He's become a good pal of mine this past year. He's slow as a snail but he has the ability to materialize beside me at any moment.
Here's a lovely pic of Muscovy duck sitting on a stepping stone surrounded by reddish brown dirt. Here's another lovely photo of Muscovy duck. Here, he's standing at the edge of the pond. Here's a lovely photo of Muscovy duck where you can see his beautiful iridescent feathers. There are Canada geese in the background.

There's green fur in the background of the pic.

I spotted the great egret a bit later standing at the edge of a little waterfall. He decided to move away from the chaos of the mallards.
