The dog woke me up at 5:30 because she had to go outside so I have been up for a couple of hours. Took the time to finish Darling Girl by Liz Michalski. It is a Peter Pan retelling and I really despised the main character throughout the entire book. She redeems herself a bit by the end. Nothing spectacular, but it was entertaining which was what I needed.

Deep in the roots of German folk tales lie forgotten initiation rituals and lost traditions. E.g., Rapunzel might actually be a reflection of ancient coming-of-age rituals. Learn how German folktales preserve elements of early human societies and shed light on some historical traditions, social structures, and cultural beliefs in this article by Waltraud Woeller.

In 2009 an enormous cache of collected folktales from the early anthropologist/story collector Franz Xaver Von Schonwerth were found in a municiple archive in Bavaria. In the 1850s he published a catalog of stories inspired by the Brothers Grimm but it was nothing compared to the size of his unpublished interviews and notes. This English translation just arrived at our house. #bookstodon #fairytales #storytelling

I’ve got a “LIttle Mermaid" Art Nouveau greeting card up for sale o my Goimagine art shop!

It was done in Procreate, taking 3449 strokes and 6h10m to complete. No artificial generating ridiculousness involved!

It’s also part of a pack of cards that feature a variety of fairytale images. They’re all 5x7 and blank inside with an interesting wrap-around-the-spine-crease effect I like to do on most of the cards I make.

I print, package, and post all these from my own home studio. No manufacturing or drop shipping.
