and another thing...

🦫 Medicinal plants: . Philadelphia: J.C. Yorston, 1892.. Original source Image description: Illustration of Nymphaea Odorata, a white water lily associated with the beaver. The image features a large, round green lily pad with prominent veins, a slender stem, and a detailed white flower with numerous petals and visible yellow stamens. Below the main plant, there are three smaller black-and-white botanical drawings, showing the root structure, stem cross-section, and other anatomical details. The style is a vintage botanical print from 1892, emphasizing both the aesthetic and scientific aspects of the plant. The artwork is labeled with the plant’s Latin name and botanical notes.

For Mermay this year, I adapted the original Little Mermaid fairytale with one page every day. The world below the water is painted like black & white shadow puppets, while the world above the water is painted like stained glass. The shadow puppets call back to old fairytale storytelling traditions and the work of Lotte Reiniger, while the stained glass imagery reflects how the original story associates the world on land with churches and holiness and the question of who gets to have a "human soul." Thank you all for following me on this art journey, and thank you so much for all your kind comments! I hope to continue next May.
