I thought I'd take this day to share some Welsh art and the stories that inspired them!

Diolch!!

Mogwai totally played into this design XD

Sounds reasonable to me, they're just misjudged!

Wonderful! I love the beaver features in this design!

Thank you so much! Diolch!

Definitely had it coming, and a good reason to never shave 😂

Culhwch returns victoriously and marries Olwen while one of Arthur's men trims Ysbaddaden's beard and then cuts off his head

The only problem is his beard is so tough that only the razor behind the ears of the giant boar is strong enough to cut it. Not deterred Culhwch asks his cousin King Arthur and his friends to help him complete these tasks. They chase the boar across Britain until it's driven into the sea and drowns

That's a good one! The hero Culhwch falls in love with Olwen, daughter of the fearsome giant Ysbaddaden who is fated to die when Owlen marries. Not wanting to die he gives Culhwch a set of impossible tasks to prepare for the wedding including to trim his long tangled beard

I'm in a hurry so I had to rush to post these but let me know if you want me to elaborate on any of these stories 😅

In many Welsh legends magical women are said to live in lakes. In one legend a woman marries a mortal man and brings him great fortune but after she is chastised three times she returns to the lake and is never seen again
