Why is it that literally every time one of my spiders gets any form of traction there's at least one person that not only feeds my art to AI but emails me directly to let me know they've done it and "fixed" the colors they want. That is sure fire the fastest way to get blacklisted.

Can anyone recommend an industrial sewing machine? I need one that has a walking foot and can have the presser foot raised pretty high. Something like a Juki Lu-1508ns but preferably not a machine that costs 3-4k like that one....if I won the lottery I'd have one, always wanted a Juki.

New jumping spider backpack! He is extra special in that his legs and abdomen both are posable so you can have him do his display dance. This variety has an XL internal pocket and can hold more than my normal shaped jumpers. He will be available at Riley Fest first weekend of October ❤️

I'm sure I've grumped about this before but - I think the most frustrating thing rn in terms of being financially stretched thin is not being able to support my fellow artists. I want to fill my home SO BADLY with the art of others. Full walls. A cabinet in the kitchen - full of handmade pottery

This morning at approximately 4:30 AM est my Papaw passed away. He is at rest now and no longer in pain. I hopped out of bed and rushed back to my hometown again the moment my mom called me. Feeling really numb. I really can't thank you all enough for your compassion....

Presenting - the tiniest plushie i have ever made! Just for the enjoyment of making it. It's an idea Ive had for months and I finally had a moment to try. I made him for Christmas and just wanted to make sure it could work. I might make more, but bigger since I had to handsew this one entirely

Can anyone recommend a place to browse apparel, or an artist's individual store that does apparel? I'm specifically looking for boho/cottagecore style midsleeve to longsleeve, needing something pretty for my wedding reception and Etsy is rife with AI crap. I want to support REAL artists

I love making art and doing that as a means for providing for my family. I really do. But sometimes I just grow so very tired of the same questions or rude comments over and over again. ;n; I try and make FAQs etc available readily but some folks just don't look for 'em I guess or they go missed
