I’ve always wanted to take part in the Folktale Week challenge. Its concept has always appealed to me and folk tales have long been close to my heart. I feel my illustration style fits this kind of storytelling, so last year I finally joined in. The illustration below is my favourite.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The prompt was PATH. I chose to illustrate the Slovenian story Zvezdica Zaspanka (Twinkle Sleepyhead), written by Fran Mil\u010dinski \u2013 Je\u017eek in 1952. It was the first Slovenian radio play and was also staged as a puppet theatre production. Later it was published as a picture book. Twinkle Sleepyhead remains one of the most beloved children’s stories in Slovenia; it was one of my favourites when I was little and I still love reading it to my kids. I hope you enjoy my interpretation. I painted the moment when the Moon sends Twinkle Sleepyhead down to Earth.<\/p>\n

\u2b50<\/span> “Twinkle Sleepyhead is the youngest star in the sky. Because she keeps arriving late for her duties, the Moon sends her to Earth as punishment. She may return to the sky only when she proves she has learned her lesson.” (Wikipedia<\/a>)
