#ArtAdventCalendar day 20: a #FolktaleWeek2024 piece. I thought I would tell another Canadian #folktale about a flaming ghost ship or strange light phenomenon which has been observed in New Brunswick in the Baie des Chaleurs. There are a few different versions of the folklore but the one I like is told in A.W.H. Eaton’s poem ‘The Phantom Light of the Baie des Chaleurs’ & I 🧵

Day 19 #ArtAdventCalendar: my #linocut of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale Thumbelina (Tommelise) I made for #FolktaleWeek2024.

In my illustration with collaged Japanese papers, Thumbelina rides the swallow, narrator of our tale, at the moment she finally meets someone her size and to her liking, in the tiny flower-fairy prince, surrounded by flowers.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 14: a print I made the 4th #FolktaleWeek2024 prompt trail. I thought of the fairytale Hans My Hedgehog, who knew all the right trails. I love the absurdity of a half-hedgehog man riding a rooster and playing the bagpipes.

His parents desperately wanted a child, and his father foolishly wished for “even a hedgehog”; his wife gives birth to a baby who’s hedgehog from the waist up. 🧵

The last #FolktaleWeek2024 prompt is #FolktaleWeekBlossom so I printed an illustration of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale Thumbelina (Tommelise).

In my #linocut illustration with collaged Japanese papers, Thumbelina rides the swallow, narrator of our tale, at the moment she finally meets someone her size and to her liking, in the tiny flower-fairy prince, surrounded by flowers. 🧵

For #FolktaleWeekBone #FolktaleWeek2024 I illustrated the Slavic #fairytale Vasilisa the Beautiful with the skull lantern. Before her mother’s death, she gave Vasilisa a wooden doll & told her to keep it secret & with her always & whenever she needed help or comfort to offer the doll food & water & seek her help & the doll would provide. The doll helped her with her grief after her mother’s death. 🧵1/n
