#folktaleweeknight — Public Fediverse posts

Bonne année! Happy New Year! Here’s my topical French Canadian folklore print I made for #FolktaleWeek2025: La Chasse-galerie!

This hand-carved, hand-printed 11” x 14” lino block print on lovely Japanese paper illustrates the famous French Canadian folktale of the Chasse-galerie, or the Flying Canoe. The tale tells of some hardworking voyageurs in their timber camp, 🧵

For #FolktaleWeek2025 I wanted to once again make sure I included some Canadian #folklore. So for Day 1 prompt Night I knew what to illustrate!

This hand-carved, hand-printed linocut on lovely Japanese paper illustrates the famous French Canadian folktale of the Chasse-galerie, or the Flying Canoe. The tale tells of some hardworking voyageurs in their timber camp, who miss their sweethearts back home, 100 leagues away. 🧵

I decided I wanted to include some Canadian folklore again this year for Folktale Week, do I knew that for the prompt #FolktaleWeekNight, I wanted to depict New Year’s Eve.

Many Canadians will recognize, especially in Québec, la Chasse-galerie in this block in progress!
