Happy Earth Day from the ghouls at Undertaker Books!
Earth Day tips:
-Use organic herbs for your spells. Who needs pesticides? Not you. Not your hex victims.
-Only you can prevent forest fires. When you're raising demons out in the woods, douse the fire after you're done dancing around it.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.
