And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue,
Do paint the meadows with delight.” Love’s Labours Lost
The Flower Fairies: buttercup (cuckoo-bud), double-daisy, lady’s smock, & dog violet

The men return home early from their labours and if they find the maids spinning, they set fire to the flax.

In response, the women fetch pails of water and bewash the men.

Day 9: FEAT

My favourite of Heracles’ labours, probably because of the Giant Crab sent by Hera just to complicate things, and it doesn’t count in the end because Heracles’ nephew Iolaus helps,cauterising the necks of beheaded Hydra to stop new heads growing.

The golden-apple tree, guarded by the dragon Landon and the Hesperides, was a gift from Zeus to Hera. The coveted apples appear in a number of mythical stories including Atalanta, Hercules' Twelve Labours, and the famous Judgment of Paris.

Plus my faves of Ephra and Ron from Labours of Stone, made before I had a crack at drawing them. Not keen on Ron's face fuzz but otherwise I still love them 💙

on the Wizards:

“They are said to have first appeared about the year 1000 of the Third Age, when the shadow of Sauron began first to grow again to new shape. They always appeared old, but grew older with their labours, slowly, and disappeared with the end of the Rings.”
