𝔇𝔞𝔶 𝔱𝔥𝔯𝔢𝔢 𝔬𝔣 #folktaleweek2021 "𝔄𝔴𝔞𝔨𝔢𝔫𝔦𝔫𝔤” 👹 I was inspired by the tale (or should I say tail?) of “Tailypo” for today's prompt. The story begins with an old man living isolated and alone with his three dogs and the land. One night a strange creature with a large tail scuttles through his house, and he quickly chops the tail off with an axe. The creature escapes but the man eats the tail for dinner. What follows is the eerie telling of the creature's revenge, awakening the man each night crying out for its “Tailypo” and plucking off the inhabitants until there’s nothing left but a smoking chimney. I’ve loved and been afraid of this story since I was small and figuring out how I wanted this creature to look was a fun challenge. I definitely want to continue with more pieces inspired by this tale. 🥀 @folktaleweek (at The Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWYjXNoJZyt/?utm_medium=tumblr

𝔇𝔞𝔶 𝔱𝔴𝔬 𝔬𝔣 #folktaleweek2021 "𝔇𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔪" 🥀 I was inspired by the folklore of the Boo Hag and the Old Hag, who sit upon the chest of a sleeping person and breathe in their life force. The afflicted wakes feeling drained the next morning like someone was sitting on their chest all night. Variations of this folklore can be found across the globe, all with fascinating ties to sleep paralysis. The physical symptoms of the lore and the phenomenon are the same— the heavy weight on your chest, inability to move, and feelings of terror. In fact, sleep paralysis was originally believed to be the work of demons. 👹 @folktaleweek (at Sleep Paralysis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWLsX0JL78/?utm_medium=tumblr

Vasilisa, thrown from Baba Yaga’s hut with a skull filled with burning coals.🕯💀 I painted this portrait of Vasilisa the Beautiful for my mother last Christmas and realized I never posted it. I grew up hearing and reading tale, and wanted to capture Vasilisa’s strength and weariness. 🪆 (at The Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSNOfO2JBHJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
