Sewing, thread, a web around women; the Fates to Ariadne to Sleeping Beauty. Sewing forbidden on All Soul’s Day, each stitch a stab to the dead. Unlucky to mend a garment while wearing it. Magical hemp shirts, shirts sewn from nettles to restore lost brothers.

A couple of my favorite fierce ladies were Anne Bonny & Mary Read. These dangerously bold & adventurous left behind the stereotypes of the 18th century & successfully joined the Golden Age of Piracy!

7 March. Sow garden herbs now:

“In March & in April from morning to night,
In sowing & setting good housewives delight,
To have in a garden or other like plot,
To physic their house, or to furnish their pot.”
(Good husbandry 1753)

Tsukiko is a Lunar Lop! I made this species up but it's based off the old folklore of the Moon Rabbit! It's the story about a rabbit who gave itself up for a great reward, that reward was recognition on the moon! I highly suggest looking up the story! Kiko just wants to be adored

Painted something here. It's a bit out there, pushes themes a little... but I chose to represent St. Patricks Day & Irish culture w/ faerie wings based on Irish faeries from folklore! Still some green though, to lean more towards the holiday.

(It's transparent, bg for showcase.)

Jaroslav Panuška was born 1872. Although many consider his master-work to be landscape, what appeals to my twisted sensibilities are his fairy tale & fantasy art.
