🌳THE OAK AND HOLLY KINGS🌲
As it is #FolkTaleWeek2020 we're sharing detail hidden in The Lightbringers by @andtheHare. The foliage details in the book reflect the Holly King and Oak King, ruling over winter and summer, engaged in endless, cyclical battle. https://t.co/xdlUJHQZAF
My last #illustration for #FolkTaleWeek2020 on the theme of #death!
As a kid, the #Russian tales about child-eating Baba Yaga always scared me. Like this, she looks the way Chubby Kitten and Kitten Friend do after a large meal!

With her daughters grown and flown, the youngest now a mother herself; she took herself once more to the tallest tower and dived back into his arms.

A lil' contribution to the FolkTale Week. Thinking of solstice and Kupala Night (Slavic midsummer). Making wreaths and sending them in water, jumping over the bonfire to bring good luck. And finally, the Fern Flower-which blossoms only on that night and has power to grant wishes.
Day 4 #folktaleweek2020 and every seven years the selkies come ashore to dance. In the years between, she dances with her children. #illustration
🌟THE LIGHTBRINGERS🌟
As it is #folktaleweek we thought we'd share some of the book's folklore references. First: Mari Lwyd. A Welsh tradition: a pale horse that stalks villages with a troup of wassailers, its skull adorned with ribbons and winter foliage. https://t.co/xdlUJHQZAF
#folktaleweek Day 4 - Surrounded by magic the moon child grew. By winter solstice she could walk, but all the time the forest kept her warm, safe and sheltered.

I’m starting to get very fond of the forest spirit, they are now all over my sketchbook… https://t.co/7Qzp71VQc6
