Artist David Zinn cleverly turned a cement-smeared manhole cover into a waffle iron for a 3D chalk-drawn possum and squirrel.

Look like you’re wearing an entombed parasite without all the guilt. Check out my cultured freshwater pearls and pentagram bracelet on Ko-Fi.

Freshwater pearls enclosed in a pentagram, pink, grey, and teal. Bracelet is draped over a branch.

Text says: There once was a little parasite, ok a lot of little parasites, they love the ocean. Passively hunting, like invisible vampires, they slip on currents of water-breath into an unsuspecting oyster. Oysterflesh is sensitive, maybe more so than even a fairytale princess’, so the little vampire parasite, taking microscopic nibbles, hurts. Once, an oyster heard a story from a fisherman about immurement, when a person, or perhaps their shadow, is walled up inside a new building, for favorable auspices in the future. So the oyster, aching inside from a parasite it can’t remove, begins to immure the hungry intruder. Layer by layer of fine crystalline calcium carbonate soon becomes a beautiful tomb for the unlucky little parasite. The oyster, feeling much better, told all the other oysters about this cure. These mummified parasites are quite beautiful and make a pretty trinket for a lucky human. Now of course, the pearls in this bracelet are cultured, freshwater pearls, but it’s a nice story anyway.

Awesome little coffee shop in Mesa Arizona called Jarrod's Coffee, Tea, & Gallery where I participated in a poetry open mic. Coincidentally, I'm told the place is haunted.
