#folktaleweekmist — Public Fediverse posts

Here's last year's #FolktaleWeek images, as well as this year's first entry for the new one.

Last year's words were Lost, Ink, Sea, Sleep, Underground, Illusion, and Found.

I incorporated them into an adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood I'm still developing in my head. Lots of great story twists and turns, and it was really useful.

This year, for #FolktaleWeek2024, I'm using the new prompt words to create background imagery to place underneath text. I'm happy with how they're turning out.

I probably won't be able to complete all seven new words by the end of the week, but since it's primarily an Instagram challenge to drive traffic to specific host accounts (and I left Instagram a long time ago) I'm not worried about deadlines. I took my own sweet time last year, and will do so this year, too.

So here's a phone wallpaper version of "Mist," originally for a page of text.

For the 1st prompt of #FolktaleWeek2024, #FolktaleWeekMist I thought I would tell another Canadian #folktale about a flaming ghost ship or strange light phenomenon which has been observed in NB in the Baie des Chaleurs. There are a few different versions of the folklore but the one I like is told in A.W.H. Eaton’s poem ‘The Phantom Light of the Baie des Chaleurs’ & I have included the last stanza 🧵1/n
