It’s finally there….. my new blog! A blog devoted to my art and love for folklore.

As some of you might have noticed I have been absent for quite some time as I have been working on setting up this new blog. It was my greatest desire to create a place where I could talk about all things related to folklore and now it’s finally there, although in an embryonic phase….

Here I will write about my adventures as an illustrator of myths, legends, superstition, folk songs and all other things related to folklore. You will also follow my work as a writer and film maker. But most importantly you will find here the most beautiful collection of folk stories and folk songs.

As I have just started this blog there is not much to see yet, but in the upcoming weeks you will be able to read articles such as: ‘The Shadow as a manifestation of the soul; and it’s association with life and death.’
(An article I have written about superstition concerning shadows.)

I will show my latest drawings and tell you all about the legends behind the illustrations.

Besides this you can see my first try outs as a film maker. For the short films I make I use really old techniques, so that should be really neat. And yes, my film productions are related to myths and legends as well.

I hope I will be able to make beautiful things and to preserve these old stories and songs, which I love so much and want to share with others.

As I can use all the support I can get, I hope many of you will follow my blog.
It’s really hard working in this branch as there is a minor interest in folklore, especially in the Netherlands, where I live. So every support would be more then welcome!

Thank you!
Isabella
