Follow the prompts, one per day, for each day of FolktaleWeek, November 4th through 10th. Use the hashtags #folktaleweek and #folktaleweek2019 to show your work and interact with other artists.

As temperatures start to drop and leaves start to change, it can only mean one thing: #folktaleweek is coming. This year, we’re releasing the prompts even earlier, so you’ll have plenty of time to discover folktales, work on art, or even write your own tales. And to help you get off to a good start, our friends at @illostories are dedicating their October workbook to Folktale Week!* . Are you in? Let us know by reposting this image or making your own! . How it works: We’ll release the prompts on Oct 7th. Then on Nov 4th, follow the prompts and share a piece of art each day. Interpret the prompts however you like. Everyone is encouraged to join in the fun. Last year we were thrilled to see illustration, photography, paper craft, embroidery, cosplay, and more! . Use the hashtags #folktaleweek and #folktaleweek2019 to show your work and interact with other artists. The challenge hosts will pull work from the hashtags to share in our stories! . *To get the FolkTale Week prep workbook released on Oct 6th, artists can join IlloStories via the link on their profile. Membership is open to artists who answer a few short questions. Doors will open to the IlloStories FaceBook group on Sept 30th and will close on Oct 13th. This is not a paid endorsement. We’re just buddies who support each other. . Folktale Week 2019 was developed by a group of talented artists from all around the world.

Another wee project for @littleboxofknitting 🐻✨ I think this is one of my favourite illustrations that I've done recently...
