Prompt 7: Victory

There is an adorable Transcarpathian folktale about humans and animals debating who owns the moonlight. They go on a quest to decide who wins.
In the end, after a long journey, they circle back home, where a young human couple and a pair of cats inform everyone that the moonlight in fact belongs to those in love.

Prompt 6: Potion

One of my favorite folktales is a story from Ethiopia about a woman who asks a wise man for a potion, to help her stepson accept her. Man tells her she needs a lion's whiskers for the potion.
The woman, with patience and courage, manages to get close enough to a lion to get the whiskers. The wise man then tells her:
"There is no potion. You just need the same patience, courage and time with the child."

Prompt 5: Costume

This prompt reminds me of a Polish Roma folktale about a girl called Sister of Birds. She could summon the birds with the colors of her dress. Red skirt summoned robins, grey cloak summoned cuckoos, yellow scarf summoned orioles, erc. They told her stories, and helped her escape from a witch.

My entries to #folktaleweek #art #fairytale #licensing

lol did I miss #folktaleweek? We can start another one. When I was little, we didnt have a lot of money for vacations, so on Sundays my Dad would drive us to some obscure area of the city, and tell us about mysteries about the ghosts of hobos in the old rail yards. To this day I don't know if they were local tales or he made them up on the spot!

I don't think this actually works for #folktaleweek since it was over last week and I never read up on how to actually do it...

But it reminds me of the night I went camping with my dad specifically to watch a meteor shower that was projected in our area. It wasn't a constant stream of falling stars, but there were about 50 or so that night before we finally fell asleep. Well worth the trip!

Paper collage art + Adobe Photoshop touches. ✂️🎨
This illustration shares a sad legend of two sisters who were once forest snake goddesses. 🐍🐍 They were supposed to practice their spiritual gifts in isolation for one thousand years. But right before they completed their trainings, the two sisters decided to visit the human world, which led to their ultimate rebellion. For #folktaleweek2022 #folktaleweek

Prompt 4: Rebel

This prompt reminded me of the Jewish folktale titled The Rebel Princess.

It's about a princess who runs away with the man she loves. They get separated, and she goes through several adventures. At one point, she recruits a crew of women and takes over a pirate ship.
Eventually she becomes queen, and finds her lost love.

Prompt 2: Tree

A Transylvanian Roma folktale says in the old days trees could walk.
A rich man once saw a beautiful old oak, and ordered it to follow him home, to be cut up as firewood. Then he ordered the tree to carry him and his food along the way. Then ordered it to steal the bell from the church tower, just because.
At that point, lightning struck, and God decided trees should not walk and obey people anymore.

These two are having a costume party🤩 #folktaleweek #folkart #watercolor #aquarelle #illustration

Another Fool story I love is a Transcarpathian folktale titled "The Boy Who Wanted to Walk on the Clouds".

It's about a boy everyone believes to be a fool because he dreams of walking on the clouds. Eventually he sets out on his own, meets a talking ferret and then the King of the Mountains, and goes on a journey that takes him all the way to the clouds.

And from there, he waves at the people who didn't believe him.

It's the season of #FolkTaleWeek, the art challenge on Instagram.
I wanted to draw something based on a Korean traditional folk tale und picked the story "Kongjwi and Patjwi", a Korean variation of Cinderella. Hanbok(Korean traditional dress) is always fun to draw💕

Day 6 of #FolktaleWeek2022 here on #Mastodon.

Sometimes in #NorwegianFolktales, a hero needs good help to win the princess from her fickle father. In “Askeladden and the Good Helpers” there is help to be found. #FolktaleWeek

I'm not an illustrator (and I'm late to the party) but I'm loving the Folktale Week prompts, so I'm just gonna do stories.

Prompt 1: Fool

My favorite "fool" tale is the Grimms' Queen Bee. Simpleton, the youngest of three princes, protects an anthill, a beehive, and a flock of ducks from his brothers' wanton cruelty. Later on, the grateful animals help him break the curse on an enchanted castle. 🐝🦆🐜 A tale that values healthy masculinity.
