trying a different thing, but I need a few more supplies first #fandommarket

"Should we get up, darling?" "MmmnnoPe." (Chipping away at my comms list with this one for @bzedj.bsky.social!) #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

This week I've got a WIP of my latest original design, and a couple of cross stitch finishes (free protest patterns from Tusk & Cardinal and Wild Ivy.)

So now there are 2 A5 sized embroideries with A Pirate's Guide to Zoology joining A Pirate's Guide to Botany (2/2)

SHETLAND PONY AND A LESBIAN GIRAFFE

Oh nooooo I don't need more needle minders but maybe actually I DO need THESE needle minders...

❤️‍🔥 love at first sight ❤️‍🔥 (an oldie but goodie) #ofmdfanart #ofmd #gentlebeard

I'm really excited to join the craft fair this year! I'm working on some illuminated paper crafts that I hope everyone will love! This is a bit of a rough draft as I test things out but it made me too happy not to share.

So here is my third item

Here's my design for the lino print I'm submitting! Super excited for this carve 😊

Cross stitch wippies! (That 20-count aida forced my middle aged ass to buy a craft magnifier.)

my art for the 2026 gentlebeard calendar! ed and stede are stargazing for matariki in july ✨ #gentlebeard #ofmd #ofmdfanart @gbcalendar.bsky.social

Sometime that first year, Blackbeard had a balcony built at the stern. He liked to feel fresh air on his face, and it saved him from having to go on deck. On the balcony, he could be alone if he wanted, wear Stede’s robe if he wanted, cry if he wanted. 🧵1/4

Folks who want patches in the #FandomMarket -- do you want sew-on or iron-on? (I'm thinking about making some patches with sashiko-style pirate motifs.)

and another one ⚔️ #ofmd, #ofmdfanart

A few years ago I watched a silly pirate show on the suggestion of a friend, things did not go as planned. These flash sheets are one of many love letters to Our Flag Means Death. And to the fandom that’s as much a found family of weirdos as the crew themselves. 🏴‍☠️🖤🏴‍☠️#ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath

SIGN UP YOUR CRAFTS!! Fill out this form for each unique item you are donating: forms.gle/KvRMfTQhsXgv... Photos of completed items are due by email March 3, so we can open bidding March 5! Help us raise funds for the crucial work of the American Immigration Council! #FandomMarket

ALSO I’m working on a new hand embroidery design (smudgy draft sketch pictured). I hope to offer this one as a finished piece, as well as a downloadable pattern.

I’m literally pulling my own art off my own walls for this year’s fundraiser. I hope y'all like abstract/textured embroidery!

Who’s ready for…. THE OFMD FANDOM CRAFT MARKET? Running March 5 through March 21, we’ll be raising money for the amazing @immcouncil.org!

ships afloat (Comm for the extra wonderful @captaincharlemagne.bsky.social and @sonotthekraken.bsky.social, who both once made me cry a little and got makeup on my shirt.) #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Morning after 🍆💦🌅 #ofmd #ofmdfanart #ourflagmeansdeath #gentlebeard

I made some painted/embroidered "tender as hell" art plus three pairs of bespoke embroidered ribbon garters. And I'm ready to do even more unhinged fiddly stitching 🪡

We see you already whipping up glorious crafty goodness and WE LOVE IT! This time around we're focusing on supporting our immigrant communities, so send us anti-ICE crafts along with our usual mix of OFMD masterpieces, queer joy, and beautifully made crafts (and craft kits 👀)! MORE SPECIFICS TBA

Stede on the beach ⚔️🏴‍☠️ That's what I'm up to, btw, practicing watercolors in my little sketchbook ✒️ #ofmdjanuAUary #ofmdfanart

I’m usually not a painting kind of person, but #ofmd inspired me to pick up a brush for the first time in nearly ten years. These were supposed to be season 2 watchparty decorations, but since they’ve become just regular decorations (because I refuse to take them down).

Ed, my weepy-eyed beloved #ofmd #fanart #edteach

This is still one of my favorites — the stomacher of my cake topper gown. It’s cream dupioni silk, embroidered in gold silk and backed with linen. There’s the tentacle motif at the top (and message in a bottle), and below Barbados lilies. It’s crusted with pearls and glass and gold beads.

hey crew, can we like and share far and wide? www.instagram.com/p/DTyVUZ_D1Ba/

Happy yestivus, lovely Lindie @kninjaknitter.bsky.social 🥰 your voice is the ultimate comfort, like the cosy feeling of a warm summer evening, I tried to capture the vibes a little here for you with our boys! Thank you for bringing them to life, time and time again! ✨ #ofmdfanart

He can do a little torture, as a treat #ofmd #ofmdfanart #ofmdroachweek

I ventured out of my comfort zone by going to the local private university for posh knobs and exercising my community-member borrowing rights. It was stressful but also necessary, since my poetry habit has now outpaced both my public library and my budget. #OFMDFuckeryFridays

Okay, a few things still need a little tweaking, but not to bad for a first try I guess #ofmd

Stede really loved this outfit. That’s why he loaned it to his future husband so they could go on an arson date. #OFMDfanart #OFMD

And here it is: archiveofourown.org/works/77632781 Ed and Stede find a little lost cat early on in their relationship by @petrichorca.bsky.social

This was SUCH a fun little experiment - there are definitely a few things I would tweak about my approach, but LOOK AT THEM!!! And look at those tiny stitches!!! Original art by @aliassamm.bsky.social ko-fi.com/s/fe099efb77 #OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath #OFMDFanArt

I would like everyone who's still writing OFMD fic to know that their work is one of the few things helping keep my mental health afloat these days. Thank you all for making the world a bit brighter, weirder, hornier, and more beautiful.

I'd say one of these two. #LongLiveOFMD #AoGVC

The podfic of Hello Sunshine by @oatmilktruther.bsky.social. Ed doesn't remember what the sun feels like on his face. He remembers warmth, but only academically. So when the sun comes back, all he can do is trust his instincts, jump headfirst, and hope he catches him.

still obsessed with this idea. s3 would have been an incredible exploration of love as a feeling versus love as a choice that i think we don't really often get to see

Just on the heels of @mustardwrites.bsky.social's final Free Space chapter, I'm serving up the penultimate ch of the pod! Some really beautiful exploration in this one, my dears.

just gonna uhhh. leave this. uhh. here, i guess 🥹 thank you so much for your kindness and support over the past 13 months as I slowly chugged along with this one. i hope it can ease the cancellation day pangs, at least a bit. love you (tl;dr: FS is complete 🩵) archiveofourown.org/works/614230...

Stede-disgusted-and-bitchy-Bonnet, we will always love you 💛✨️ #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmd #stedebonnet
