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.

Yama orabi- the mountain shouter is a terrifying Japanese echo yōkai. It mimics people’s yells in the mountain. It looks like a little bird with an exceptionally large head and sharp pointy teeth!

Work in progress for #folktaleweek2025 #folktaleWeekEcho

#wip #linocut #printmaking #folklore

Nine of my 8”x10” prints laid out on a table in a grid to dry. They show a Yama orabi, a mythical bird like creature with an exceptionally large head and sharp pointy teeth hopping off a branch in front of a grey and blue-grey mountain at sunset in a gradient of orange, yellow and green sky.
