I love the ship too Em and I’m really enjoying following the story. I love the idea of folktale week, perhaps I could get involved with it next year.

Thanks Kat!

Folktale week is a great challenge but lots of work. Some people (like myself!) break the rules and spread it out over a couple of weeks, or use the prompts at a time in the year to suit them. There's lots of ways you can interpret it, but ultimately, it's about what you want to get out of the challenge that counts ❤️

If you're interested in doing it next year, I can let you know some resources that will help get you started and maybe we could buddy up! 😁

Ahh, thanks Raj! I forgot how complicated drawing rigging and sails were! I take my hat off to people who draw ships and boats on a regular basis, so hard!

Thank you Clair!

A bit late adding part 2. It might have to be a double bill tomorrow 🫣

How’s your Folktale week illustrations going? Have you shared anything over on Instagram? x

Yeah I'm @clair_sullivan_ over there. Have been popping some bits up but scrambling to the finish line with the prep. Got number 6 and 7 still to do. Eek! X
