I'm participating in Folktale Week 2024. Day 1: Mist. I created this illustration based on the legend of The Giant of MacCulloch - who can be seen through the mist to appear looming out from the cliffs along the coast in Scotland. #folktaleweek2024 @folktaleweek.bsky.social

Thank to @margauxsaltel.bsky.social I found something like Folktale week ❤️

A little girl in red pulls on an iron gate in the middle of the night.

🤫 I pulled the old gate open, careful not to make a sound.

Second day with @folktaleweek.bsky.social on #folktaleweek challange ❤️❤️

Digital illustration by Yvie Juniper-Johnson. An image showing a headless horseman riding a horse, both appear transparent like a ghost and are at the centre of the image as if lit up by a light. Tall dark pine trees reach to the sky either side of the horse and rider. A crescent moon in the sky and wispy clouds. At the bottom of the image is a small red car shining its full headlights as it drives through mist on a country road. Text reads “Headless Horseman of Bodfari”. A small label at the bottom reads “Mist”.

Day one of #FolktaleWeek and the prompt is Mist! I chose the local ghost tale of the Headless Horseman on Bodfari Road.

Haven't pulled out all the stops this year but am glad to have done some of them, and joyfully!

The little zombie girl walks through the gate. It’s dark, dirty and blight. Huge ghosts skeleton are looking at her dangerously

#Folktaleweek day 3: blight

All she can find behind the gate was chaos and horror

"The Green Mist" Folktale Week 2024. Illustrated by Debra Styer

Folktale Week, Day 1: Mist
Inspired by the British Folktale "The Green Mist", a story of a dying girl who is saved by a green mist in hopes she will hang on just a bit longer. The girl says, "I swear I'd ask no more than to live as long as the one of those Cowslips that grow by our gate each year".

It’s officially #folktaleweek ! I’m so excited to finally join in this year, I just hope I can keep up with all 7 days!

GATE for #folktaleweek

Me swaggering over to fix up my [okay, not so] dilapidated folk Victorian farmhouse.

I used to build architectural models in college, so the paper cut movement beckons me. I shall, however, invest in some thinner paper. ;)

Folktale Week Day 2: Gate
This was inspired by the Japanese Folktale, "The Ogre of Rashomon". The story is about the brave knight, Watanabe, who fought the giant Ogre who terrorized on the villagers at the Gate of Rashomon in Kyoto...

The Fear Gorta is the "man of famine" in Irish legend, a phantom of the starvation brought on by the potato blight, and by the brutal colonial oppression by the British.

A watercolor illustration of a wolf made to look like a tarot card "The Mist". The wolf is partially obscured by mist in an evil looking woods. The wolf has a lolling tongue and yellow eyes and black fur.

Day 1 of @folktaleweek.bsky.social "Mist"

I have been going through a tarot phase lately. I bought my deck innocently enough, thinking I would use it for poetry prompts. #folktaleweek #folktaleweekmist (1/3)
