My hand-sewn creature bags are perfect for carrying creatures and objects such as a tiny witch homunculus, a monster finger puppet, a mushroom creature, etc. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of Prisma. She's a black ghost with a gray moon face, twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. Her body is covered with stars of various colors and sizes. There's every color of the rainbow, as well as pink. The top of her head is a metal coin purse clasp. She's wearing a black fabric witch hat magnetically attached to the clasp. There's green fur in the background of the pic.

Surrounding her are various objects. There's a black clay mushroom creature I made with one eye and red spots. There's a tiny can of peanuts, a yellow monster finger puppet, a small Goosebumps book keychain. There's also my fabric art tiny witch homunculus and her rainbow staff. She's a greenish homunculus creature with twinkly red eyes.

A little floppy-eared dog looking through a telescope at many shooting stars from under a bridge. The bridge is covered in ivy, and the yellow and white stars are huge and flying down in front of the bridge. The main colors are teal, blue, and yellow from two inks.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.
