A hand of an anthropomorphic bear hovers over the open pages of a large book. An unrecognisable script can be seen on the paper. The image is divided diagonally by the bear's cloak. Behind the bear, rain falls outside the cave they are in. Dots of light illuminate the roof of their temporary shelter.

A hand of an anthropomorphic bear rests on the open pages of a large book. An unrecognisable script can be seen on the paper. Shards of light are eminating from the bear's fingers and the book. Dots of light, and chaotic lines frame the image, heightening the feeling something magical and otherworldly taking place.

A large explosion of light encapsulates the silhouette of an anthropomorphic bear wearing a cloak, and holding a staff. They are crouched on the ground, braced against the force of the explosion. A large book lies next to them on the ground, it's pages flapping wildly. Outside of the ball of light, almost horizontal rain intersects the dark trunks and branches of a forest of gnarly trees. Text in the lower right corners reads: "5. Charm"

When he picked up the book, it seemed to be about spells related to nature. Opening it, he found a beautiful charm inside, made of precious stones he had never seen before. It had a symbol in the center, which could also be found inside the book, and it gave off a hypnotizing light.

Folktale Week 2025 Charm Tomorrow (continued) Eleanor Sheep thought and she thought. She could no longer use her charm and wit to keep Death away. She had to hide. In the corner of her cottage was a large barrel of honey. Eleanor climbed inside to hide but her fluffy wool stuck out. “Oh no, Death is too clever to not see me if my fluffy wool is showing.” Eleanor Sheep climbed out of the honey, dripping with the sweet nectar, and completely at a loss. Then she noticed the large trunk that she kept by her bed. She opened the trunk, which was filled with pink dyed feathers, and climbed inside. She fit completely in the trunk. Eleanor Sheep smiled. ----- This year I am adapting and reworking an old Hungarian Folktale about an old woman and death. ----- Folktale Week 2025 and all its magic is brought to you by these talented artists below! @debrastyer @louve.draws @matejalukezic **More information about the challenge from @folktaleweek Conjure up your creations, research your favorite folk & fairy tales and get ready to make all your fabulous art!

My partially carved 8” x 10” Lino block shows a standing polar bear facing forward with one arm around a girl with braids in a dress and a bell between his paws. The block rests on an ink-splattered cutting mat.

I bet people will recognize the beloved fairytale this block will illustrate for #FolktaleWeek2025. This will be for the prompt charm!
