Day 3 of #FolktaleWeek2025 prompt is rain. My hand-carved, hand-printed lino block print of the well-known, ancient Chinese folktale of the magpie bridge linking the lovers, The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, separated by a great river, which is the Milky Way, is printed on lovely Japanese paper, 11” x 14”.

There are variations of the folktale across Asia, but the story tells of lovers, 🧵

My black and white linocut the Chinese folktale of The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, shows the Cowherd at the bottom right, reaching up towards the weeping Weaver Girl at the top left. Each stands on a stylized raining cloud. There are 6 magpies in flight, flying over raining waves of the river between them. As you look from the bottom left of the river up towards the top right the waves transform into the simple dots of the stars in the Milky Way.
