Top tip to keep your posts accessibility-inclusive cos we know what happens when folks start accepting the de-legitimisation of disability access and inclusion.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! 🌼🌸🌼🌸

I'm an illustrator repped by @charlottewenger.com & I would love to work on more picture books, book covers, & middle grade projects. I love vintage imagery, nature scenes, animal characters, & curious little objects! #kidlit #illustration

It's #KidLitArtPostcard Day!
Here's a hope-filled sunrise equine piece based on a folktale from the Welsh ancient text, Mabinogion.
Always drawing my own versions of folktale stories!

I have just remembered that the first Thursday of each month is #KidLitArtPostcard day and is it possible I can still remember this awareness in 3 days' time?!

Ugh another #astrologergood moment.

Susan's work is fascinating, she keeps me more informed about Europe than most can, especially with not watching mainstream news.
This episode on Chiron-Eris though!
Mercury conjunct BM Lilith and even I was grumpy AF!! 😂
Great episode ✨

Black-and-white picture of two children playing in woodland. Also in the picture, there are 12 hidden animals including an owl, a bat and a squirrel.

After I've thoroughly learnt & digested the Welsh folklore & Irish & Scottish folklore, Japanese folklore is next!
That's in between all the ancient mythology I absolutely must understand better!

How many lifetimes do I need to get through it all, though...?

curiousordinary.bsky.social curious ordinary @curiousordinary.bsky.social · Oct 6
My final book recommendations for today's #MythologyMonday are for anyone looking for Japanese folktales. The first book by Yei Theodora Ozaki is a collection of the most well-known Japanese tales and the second book by Keisuke Nishimoto is a larger collection containing many lesser known tales.
Two books, Japanese Folktales has an illustration of Kintaro on the cover, Strange Tales from Japan has a ghostly figure on the front.

Deep into my 8H stellium & 12H learning at the moment and am feeling seen!
I am that person who will bring up death as a topic of conversation,
who feels energy deeply,
and sees
(mostly unclearly)
and knows
(most annoyingly cos I just 'know', ya know?)
and my Cap 6º Syzygy Sabian Symbol?

Woke up at a very late 3.30pm with vertigo! Not what I was expecting seeing as rest is supposed to be very good for my health right now.
Checked the transits, and Moon is conj my MC squaring my 8H Jupiter. Is it that? 🤔
Or is the Saturn opposing my 8H Mars still in play?

It's been 6 months and 3 days since the last Equinox (go figure) and the start of a new illness. You could say we're lucky I don't post more often?

A positive read considering the state of the world for disabled folks at the moment.

It's #KidLitArtPostcard Day!
Here's a marine-life and mountain view piece for our nature-loving learners. I'm currently live streaming my KidLit wildlife art process on Twitch, I love to bring rich colours to my work with my own stories of their tales.

#KidLit #Illustration #Wales

Digital illustration by Yvie Johnson is a portrait of the ocean, with a whale swimming underneath the water, light streaming through the water towards the whale, with lots of coral and small marine life at the bottom of the image. Above the ocean water level is a mountain range, three birds flying in the sky just above the skyline. Behind the mountains are clouds stretched across the sky, the sky is colourful and also arched behind the mountains going from light yellow at the sky line to purple at the top of the image where there are faint stars. Text at the bottom reads: "Yvie Juniper-Johnson. Yvie Johnson dot com. Illustrator and Writer."

Any ideas? ✨

Next 🌞Eclipse is on 21 September in 29* Virgo. Consider an astrological Eclipse Reading if

the eclipse 🌞 (29* ♍️) is conjunct or opposite any of your natal planets, or

the eclipse 🌞(29* ♍️) is conjunct your Midheaven, or

the eclipse 🌞 (29* ♍️) is conjunct your Ascendant/Descendant

Had a wonderful moment today where I was able to go into the garden, first time since Sunday, and a bright blue Dragonfly lands in front of me on a grassy stalk.

I sat there, just loving it. So grateful that it chose this time and space to stop and rest.

Do you have any placements near 24º Virgo? Then you're touched by fixed Alkes, primary star of the Cup constellation

Greetings #KidLitArtPostcard Day! 🦋
Summer is still with us, the birds singing their sweet songs each day.

There are a lot of 'B' words in this illo, can you find them?

This was created with a sweet animation, an original poem and a vinyl album cover.

Thanks! Diolch!

Digital illustration by Yvie Juniper-Johnson. Yvie's August Kid Lit Art postcard. An illustration of a blue tit, sitting on a beech tree branch, wearing a bonnet, a bow tie and braces, playing a banjo. There is a sky background. A smaller branch with leaves in the foreground. The bird is looking up towards the sky. The sunlight is coming through the clouds. Under the image text reads: “Yvie Juniper-Johnson. Yvie Johnson dot Com. Illustrator and Writer.”
