Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help. Here's a pic of who I currently have available. All of my creations are designed, sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of some of my fabric art creatures. They're on green fur with a beautiful fabric galaxy in the background. There's a fabric art watermelon with eight eyes and a wide toothy grin. There's a black phantom with purple eyeshadow, red lips, and four tentacle-like arms. She has an embroidered flower on her forehead where each petal is a different color of the rainbow m there's a watermelon ghost, two yellow blob like creatures. They each have three eyes, two tentacles, and open mouths full of sharp teeth. There's also a rabbit-like creature with a purple body, a pink face, and sharp tooth. The rabbit also has two blue tentacles and a blue pouch over the belly with an embroidered pink flower on it.

Hi Bluesky! I just launched my Big Cartel fabric art shop, and I was wondering if you could help spread the word? All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Any sales are colossally appreciated. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

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, a strawberry ghost bag, and a black creature with sharp teeth. There's a white egg with yellow embroidered flowers and purple eyeshadow and purple lips. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background. The watermelon creature and the watermelon ghost are sitting on metal doll chairs. Here's a lovely photo of the cosmic ghost bag. She's a black ghost with various stars and planets embroidered on her body. There are little white stars, larger white stars, yellow stars, purple stars, a dark purple planet, a light purple planet, a red planet with a yellow ring. She has a gray moon-like face with large sparkly black eyes and a little frown. She's wearing a black fabric witch hat. She's resting on my palm and there's green fur in the background of the pic. Here's a lovely photo of three fabric art eggs watching the tiny witch homunculus balancing on one foot on a small broom. The eggs are purple, pink and white, and they're covered with embroidered flowers. The eggs have mouths with lip colors that match their flowers. They have two flat teeth poking out of their mouths. The pink egg is wearing a small sun hat. The tiny witch homunculus is green with large sparkly red eyes and a little frown. There's green fur in the background of the photo. Here's a photo of fabric art creatures with a white fabric background. There's a cute and creepy mothman with a black body and a gray face with twinkly red eyes and sharp teeth. There's a green Kentucky goblin with a lighter green face and large pointy ears. He has twinkly yellow eyes and he's wearing a black party hat covered with red googly eyes and a big red poof at the top. There's also a red death worm with nine cream-colored eyes and sharp teeth. The tiny homunculus witch is sitting on the worm's head. She's very small, with large twinkly red eyes and a green body. She's wearing a small version of the party hat the goblin's wearing.

Tragically, he was never able to get that camel through the eye of a needle. On the plus side, the demons are happy.

He has no real filter or restraint when it comes to spewing his gnarled thoughts to the public, so when he talks about going to heaven, it does make me wonder just how much time he imagines he has left.

It's a rough time for artists, writers and other creators. If you have the means to do so, consider helping out a creator this weekend. Possibly sign up for their Patreon, or buy a commission, or buy their book. If not, maybe just help spread the word about one of their works. Everything helps.

Oh well, an unofficial town sorcerer is sometimes unfairly maligned. At least the ducks like me.

I didn't end up feeding any crows on my crow walk, but I gave a snack to my fine feathered friend the Muscovy. Also, now that I replay the conversation in my head, I feel as if that nice older lady thought I wanted to steal her neighbor's fruit, although I was merely walking on the sidewalk.

It should be said that the swan geese, the avian dinosaurs that they are, make lovely dinosaur-like sounds. I haven't yet spotted any red-eared sliders, but they're probably sunbathing somewhere.

Aside from the swan geese, mallards and Muscovy duck, I've also said hello to an egret and a bunch of Canadian geese. A spider of unknown species also jumped on my arm and quickly jumped away again. He didn't seem to enjoy my arm after all.

Now I'm sitting on a metal picnic table amidst a slumbering group of mallards. The Muscovy duck seemed sleepy as hell but he woke up to come say hello. He's a good pal of mine. I gave him a few unsalted, roasted peanuts, which are safe for ducks.

Here's a photo of a lovely Muscovy duck. There's a little pond in the background.

As unofficial town sorcerer, it's extremely important to support small businesses and to embrace local fruits, so I bought a fresh pineapple agua fresca from a stall near the pond. The swan geese and a few mallards have approached me to say hello.

Here's a lovely pic of a swan goose and female mallard. They're hanging out on the grass.

Someone's selling wooden staffs fit for a town sorcerer near the duck pond. I haven't asked yet if the staffs are already imbued with magic or not. It could be that I haven't accomplished enough feats of sorcery yet where I deserve such a staff.

Here's a lovely photo of an outdoor shop selling tall wooden staffs. There's a duck pond in the background.

A nice older lady stopped me on the sidewalk and told me all about the fruit trees in her neighbor's yard and in her yard. As town sorcerer, it's important to speak about local fruit trees whenever possible, even if my current mission is to feed crows.

Well, someone ate the unsalted peanuts I left out yesterday. Could be crows, raccoons, possums, skunks, homunculi. Now I'm out on another crow walk, which is an important job as unofficial town sorcerer.

Here's a lovely photo of two empty peanut shells on gray gravel.

Writers and artists: if you're interested, post a link to your stuff! And if you'd like, let us know a bit about your work. Everyone: let's spread the word and check out these creations and support some creators.
