Delighted that Kraken by Florence and the Machine has the Ed Teach vibes we'd hoped for. Do you see me now?!?!
![Verse 3
You said I would be nothing, but look, I'm really something
Many arms around the mast as your ship starts cracking
Will you see me through the pain?
Have you changed? So have I
As I fix you in the gaze of my one unblinking eye
Do I terrify?
[Pre-Chorus]
And all of my peers, they had such potential
The swamp, it took them down
And my love, I have to take
I kiss them all and let them drown, oh
You didn't see me, just another drunken groupie
So when your hand reached out
I just pushed you further down
Well, do you see me now?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gcdvxzccqta4ph2lgb7f4k23/bafkreih5dbvm2skfqdbakcrgb4jb675msjzsq6f3fbmjvv7kxh2lnhp2gi@jpeg)

Many, MANY months after the auction closed, here’s the final set of my garter commissions from the #ofmdcraftfair. Sueded silk with a woodland scene + antlers to illustrate a silly pun inspired by a historical poesy ring. Close-up in replies, because I’m pretty proud of my tiny hart.

Hey pirate pals, here’s a callback to a happier auction: the 2nd of my garter commissions from the #ofmdcraftfair! Velvet ribbon, hellebore, and Icelandic poppy, with a steamy (for the time period) motto from a poesy ring. Close-ups below for fiber freaks who wanna ogle some tiny thread painting.

Just realized that I never did a Bsky post for this one. I’ve heard that having hope is cute? (From 1.22.2024.)

The penultimate design phase for the final set of commissioned garters from the #ofmdcraft fair. (Text blurred for more of a reveal once I’ve finished stitching them.)

Immediately adding the finished version because I forgot to post the "before" when it was actually before. Behold tiny Stede! (Still working on my watercolor skills, but by God it's a pleasing sensory experience.)

Catching up on this podfic while doing some practice painting and drinking some nice rooibos. Because my nervous system isn't going to re-regulate itself.

A proper post for my first #OFMD fanwork, and the first set of embroidered ribbon garters I ever made! Learn about saucy 18th century garters and read my friend’s accompanying Gentlebeard fic (described by one reader as “double-plus unhinged”) if you dare 🔗⬇️

Here’s a dedicated post for this painting I did at the start of #OFMD s2, which I later turned into an embroidery for the 2025 OFMD Craft Fair.

Custom garter commissions from the OFMD Craft Fair! The lovely donor wanted a set inspired by a certain ineffable duo 😇😈. Stitching all those teeny tiny feathers and scales took awhile; worth it, though. #embroidery #stitchsky #needlework #goodomens

Thank you! And as far as anyone can tell, my dog is a corgi-beagle mix. He's very cute and very soft, which is how he gets away with being an impolite menace.

Trying again with correct hashtags... Finally finished this beauty, from the #ofmdcraftfair pattern by @darcylindbergh.bsky.social. Now it's in my living room so every guest knows what they're getting (angry queer dorks who love pirates and fiber art). Dog bonus below! #ofmdfanart #ofmd

I made sure to take photos before putting the pillow on the couch, because I knew what would happen.

Since this March continues to be so VERY extremely trying, I’m reposting this tiny, hopeful Stede from March 2023. (Words from that unforgettable Maya Gittelman piece about #OFMD. You know the one.) #OFMDfanart

I’m currently working on making garters for lovely customers from the OFMD Craft Fair, BUT! Last week while I was dithering about fabric for the “Our Fight, Our Family” pattern from @darcylindbergh.bsky.social, I remembered that Past Me purchased this little beauty at the local reuse center.

Took some beauty shots of this custom-finished embroidery from the #ofmdcraftfair before shipping it off to its new home. So proud that these stitches and brushstrokes could play their small part in helping so many kids & families.

In addition to finishing options, I'll throw in the option of an abstract gouache background in the color/s of your choice! Here are some examples of my painted embroidery work.

Juuuuust in case it entices anyone into a last-minute #ofmdcraftfair bid, here's the fully stitched version of my "tender as hell" embroidery! The winner can choose if they want the piece finished for use as wall art or wearable art. (Auction 🔗 and further details in replies!)
