This was my last illustration for @folktaleweek.bsky.social
I wanted to draw all the characters that have been in the previous prompts and all those stories I've encountered along the way.

A strange old lady with lots of bugs and leaves worn as jewelry stands in front of her forest hut in the early morning light. She clutches the old book; the ribbon with the inkbrush has been re-attached with a knot in the middle. She smiles down at the fairy tale kids, who look at each other nervously. A fancy scroll caption reads: "You FOUND my book! I do hope you haven't drawn in it..."

This was #7: "Found." #FolkTaleWeekFound

Last day of #folktaleweek , folks!
The story comes to an end (or does it not?) and it’s been great to see everyone’s work!
“In the end I FOUND the exit, but in this strange adventure I also FOUND some real friends”. #folktaleweek2023 #folktaleweekfound

*That’s* what was missing ❤️

A golden locket with a photo of a person with pointed ears in old-fashioned dress. There is a matching key on the locket, four-leaf clovers and glowing dots of light adorning the table-top composition.

Snuck one more in before the end of Folktale Week: How many four-leaf clovers have you FOUND? 🍀🤞

Prompt 7: Found #FolktaleWeekFound #KidlitArt

Boy sitting on horse on beach. There’s a glowing feather in front of them.

“They had been traveling along the shore awhile, when
lo! there was a feather. And how it sparkled all by itself! ”

After Chang’e drank the forbidden elixir of immortality, she was banished to live on the moon. She was alone until she FOUND that the Jade Rabbit would join her for the rest of her days.

This is for #folktaleweek2023’s prompt, FOUND.

A good kneeling with her beagle before a pot of gold with a rainbow coming out. She’s saying “good boy” to the dog.

We did it!! Last entry! And what can I say? It was a feast, mental breakdown and everything in between and outside, but overall a very lovely experience! Thank you @folktaleweek.bsky.social for this challenge!
