TRADITIONAL-ARTISTS "FAIRY TALES" CONTEST

:icontraditional-artists:
*Traditional-Artists are have a wonderful competition called

:star: "FAIRY TALES" :star:

:star: Theme description:
Your entries must refer to an existing fairy tale, folk tale or mythology. There are thousands upon thousands of fairy tales out there in culture and literature, so I'm sure everyone can find something to inspire them. You can show us a scene or depict a character from the tale, and tell us the story in the deviation description, but abstract concepts of fairy tales (e.g. someone staring into the middle distance with the title "fairy tale ending" or some such) will not be accepted on this occasion. I want this contest to be about the stories, and your interpretation of them.

:star:Here are some images that might help inspire you:





:star:Dates:
The deadline is 10th of August

SAIL - WILLOW - CONTEST - THE OGHAM

SAIL - WILLOW - CONTEST - THE OGHAM


The Celtic meaning of willow has a long history of symbolism associated with metaphysical and ritual practices.

Specifically, the willow wood has been (and still is) used in ceremonies intended for enhancement of psychic abilities, honoring the moon as well as increase the essence of love in our lives.

Many uses and associations came be traced back to our Celtic ancestors' observations of the willow tree in their natural environment. Druid priests, dryads (priestesses), bards and ovates all recognized the willow's affinity to watery domains. Flora and fauna in close connection with water are considered dwellers of the psychic realm, and symbolic of inspired imagination.

The willow gets its moon associations (another powerful symbol of psychic and intuitive energy) because of its relationship to water. We see this when we recognize the moon's influence over the waters of the earth - it moves the tides, pulling fluids to and fro with her own wax and wane.

Below are some wonderful works
inspired by the magic
of the Willow Tree:

Has there been any information on the Ogham contest? Was curious, my entry was in time, but hasn't been read and no winners have been announced.

If it's worth having, it won't come easy...
Unfortunately, most people these days don't know how to fight for what they want, and throw away priceless treasures by walking away like cowards.

Hi, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the contest...I tried to get in on time, but my cousin's scanner had different plans. :|

I'm just a person who decided to become an artist.
The reasoning behind so is that its the feeling of freedom I get everytime I work on a drawing.
