Happiness is finding kindred spirit friends ❤️

(Gretchen Ellen Powers)

Often folklore is more romantic than science. Even if Will-‘o-the-wisps were mere marsh gas over swampy lands, their benign/eery luring of people to their lights beguiled forever.
“There was in every hollow
A hundred wrymouthed wisps.”
-Dafydd ap Gwilym (14thc) #SwampSunday

A Swedish, fairy-tale goodnight to you all with John Bauer’s magical illustration of “Leap the Elk & Little Princess Cottongrass,” aka "Skutt the Moose and Princess Tuvstarr" (1913). Good night, guys 💕✨

Fore! Some golfing cats for your weekend by the great Louis Wain (1860-1939)😻

Hi, everyone. I hope your day is going well. Here is a visit to the past via Randolph Caldecott’s artistic imagination. It’s a spring seeding scene from The House that Jack Built (1878). I’m cheering you all on for today 🤗🍃

I always loved the tiny door: 🚪

“But at last she came upon a tiny little door: and oh, how glad she was, when she found the key would fit it! So she unlocked the tiny little door…& looked through it, and what do you think she saw? Oh, such a beautiful garden!”

Brazilian artist Henrique Alvim Corréa’s terrifying but brilliant illustrations (1906) for HG Wells’ “The War of the Worlds” (1898) still resonate. Corréa died young, but his artistic voice endures 👽#WyrdWednesday

Star charts or astronomical charts mapped the night sky beautifully. The romantic in me always loved the myriad forms of these celestial atlases through global history. Here are just four by: Su Song (11thc), de Wit (17thc), Hevelius (17thc), & Hall (19thc) ✨🌝🪐#WyrdWednesday

Sometimes it’s nice to just escape into Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows world via a beautiful illustration —like this one by Chris Dunn. Stay cozy, night all 🥰💙
