Some linocut print tests of the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary because I'm obsessed
🐑🥦💕
tartary lambs usually spend their entire lives in one spot, but this one acquired a giant planter pot and now runs free. why does she roam? how’d she figure out how to replant herself? who made all these giant pots and left them within reach of a bunch of dryad sheep? a mystery..
Central Asian lore has tales of the Vegetable Lambs of Tartary: sheep that grow from plants. They stay connected to the plant by stems resembling umbilical cords & can only graze as far as the cords allow. Once all nearby plants have been eaten, the sheep die. #FolkloreSunday
Another satyr in a sense, Crete Tartary! Technically a vegetable lamb that has uprooted himself and became mobile. He's very skittish and can make thorns grow out of his arms when startled. I've heard rumors though that his kind tastes divine.
One of my favourite silly, obscure folklore myths—the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary!

#WyrdWednesday In the Dark Ages, traveler John Mandeville spoke of the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary. This was a lamb that grew from a plant. It did everything a lamb did, except it was connected to a stalk.
🍂 The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary 🍂 One thing I love about #mabsdrawlloweenclub and art challenges in general is the chance to learn about folklore I’ve never experienced. This is a legendary zoophyte, a plant that bears lamb fruit. 🐑
I have been trying more and more to jumpstart my creativity / productivity with smaller projects.
So have some #ACEOs for a tiny #cryptozoology xChange: a Tatzelwurm and a Barometz (Vegetable Lamb of Tartary). Both are creatures I was not or just vaguely aware of before. :D

The Barometz, or Lamb of Tartary, is a supposed legendary plant which grew sheep for fruit. The sheep would be tethered to the plant through an umbilical cord like structure and could wander about eating what was around it.
