Even before the announced TOS change, I had planned on making a post to share all of the cool art I have acquired through my Bluesky follows. Now it feels more urgent and this is my prompt.

Say no to generative AI art. Buy art from real degenerates.

The one I was most confident about was the one I got wrong 🤦 this has been a humbling experience, lol

The custom order thing did well at the market today, too. I even got a tip! ☺️ Gave me something to do other than just, like...sit there, lol

Fern ☀️🌈🌿 @fernyfarms.bsky.social · 21d

The soft launch of my custom pendant service is a hit!

I'm currently set up at First Friday Fall Fest in downtown Warren, PA, and I'll be downtown again for the Farmers Market tomorrow 💚🌿

'ai' isn't inevitable, it's not 'here to stay', and those who haven't let their skills rot will clean up the huge mess it leaves behind

Excellent article. Yet so many of our educational institutions have an “AI is here to stay” attitude and are acting accordingly 🤷‍♀️

She's such a little creeper 😂

#dog #pibble #dogs

A black pitbull mix with a white stripe down her nose lays on the floor behind a throw pillow that is propped up on something not visible. She peeks at the viewer over the pillow, only her eyes and ears visible. Her little doggy eyebrows are raised, as are her ears.

I like it! It reminds me of this cheesy horror movie I saw once, called Black Sheep.

/pos, I enjoy cheesy horror movies 😁

A nice fern that grows on vertical rock surfaces and for some reason they called it maidenhair spleen wort

I'm so glad I made a bunch of those little iridescent earrings, because those were the hot-ticket item for me this weekend. 😊

I'm technically still in my post-show resting period, but I hope to have my shop out of vacation mode this week 💚🌿

Fern ☀️🌈🌿 @fernyfarms.bsky.social · Sep 2

It is a wild endeavor, trying to put together like a month's worth of work in a week. Don't get me wrong, it's a good problem to have. I'm just in awe about it

Anyway, come see me at the Wild Wind Folk Art and Craft Festival at Warren County Fairgrounds in PA this weekend and tell me I did good 🥺

A selection of earrings that I have made this week. There are seven pairs of dangly earrings, most with iridescent beads, and one pair with blue crazy lace agate chips.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Anyway, if you're near NWPA next weekend, check out the Wild Wind Festival at the Warren County Fairgrounds and say hi, maybe tell me it'll all be okay or something, idk 💚🌿

But then I check my calendar and oh dearie me - I have a week to pretty much double my invo, and still hope I don't run out, plus another show this upcoming Friday right before Wild Winds 😱

No coasting, only work

/freak-out /vent

Fern ☀️🌈🌿 @fernyfarms.bsky.social · Sep 1

But then I got The Call last Friday, saying that there was a cancellation and I could join Wild Winds if I wanted

And I Very. Much. wanted

I've been there before as a visitor, not a vendor, and the show is huge, well-attended, and juried. It's spendy, but I have the chance to really sell a lot 🤞

Fern ☀️🌈🌿 @fernyfarms.bsky.social · Sep 1

I normally set up at my local farmers market, and I do okay there, but I sell maybe ten pieces on a good weekend. So I was thinking, I'll coast the rest of this season, get into the Wild Winds Folks Art and Crafts Festival next year, and that'll give me the winter to stock up 🤷

Fern ☀️🌈🌿 @fernyfarms.bsky.social · Sep 1

Been crafting non-stop (minus necessities, like sleep) for two days now because I got called in short-notice to do a very large show and I decided I needed new inventory

You have to understand, I haven't worked this hard on anything since I was in college 😭

One tackle box tray (of ten) that I'm working to fill. This one is one of two small trays, and has twenty compartments. All but one compartment contain recently-made handmade jewelry by me. Earrings, necklaces, and keychains. The last compartment is still empty...for now.

Pls buy some of my art so I have enough money to buy myself a treat for going through the ordeal. I would really love some chocolate, the apples are not cutting as treats and I’m out of popsicles

I forgot I made these archival quality prints and then hand gold leafed them, they are 11x14 & I’ve got 4 I’m offering for $40 ea (plus shipping)

My illustration psychedelica from ancient undead spider wizard. It’s a shadowy humanoid face made of leaves behind some datura blossoms which are ringed by mushrooms. At the top there is a sideways eye in front of a gold leafed circle. Hatch shading on white paper with a black background and gold accents

The full shot of the illustration, we can see there are spider webs hanging from the leaves

I was going to do one of those "here are four pieces that sold at market this last weekend" posts like I have been doing, but pretty much everything that sold was new enough that it wasn't on the site yet

So instead, here are my four favorite pieces that I still have 💚🌿
#handmade #smallartist

A very long pendant made of round agate beads wired together in a chain

A wire-wrapped orange donut-shaped stone with a gnarly copper wire tree and a full moon (white cabochon) peeking through the branches

A dainty pair of mushroom earrings. Glass flower beads make the caps, and the stems are white freshwater pearls

A set of four coiled macrame coasters, wrapped neatly in a lace ribbon

I only have a few of these "haunted tree" pendants left - snag one while you still can! 💚🌿 Each is wrapped in copper over a stone donut bead with a white glass cabochon to represent the moon.
