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

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!

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”.

All she can find behind the gate was chaos and horror

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

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".

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...

#FolktaleWeek! Day 3 Prompt: BLIGHT
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.
