@Kim-Rosenlof It’s super open and flexible, and not even restricted to illustration (maybe now’s the time to explore interpretive dance?). I know a lot of people pick one specific tale, but I have also seen people make up their own or just mix whatever is out there. I think the nice thing about the oral tradition is that there are so few rules (which is evident in all the different versions of all the tales), and the organisers of this challenge have really embraced that.

@Mia-Clarke Thanks. That is helpful info.

I haven't posted in quite a while but I've been enjoying what everyone else has been doing. Some wonderful stuff in this thread!
I went to Italy in September and have been doing some paintings based on that trip so here is the kind of thing I've been working on: Italian laundry

@kylebeaudette LMAO! Holy crow these are hilarious!

Did a quick little halloween scene, which I’m thinking could go well on a greeting card someday.

@Mia-Clarke It would make a good greeting card! It's a very well composed image.
Are you working digitally or traditionally? -

@Stephanie-H Thanks!
️ This one is all digital, but some of my other stuff is digital, ink and oils. -
@Kim-Rosenlof I second what @Mia-Clarke said about it being really open. I personally am trying to make up a folktale inspired story based on the prompts. So essentially a story that is told in 7 images, which is proving to be quite the challenge, but good one nonetheless.
Another person who does the challenge in this way is Cynthia Cliff. I recommend checking out her past prompt based projects, in which she tells a story.
Also I find the creators of the challenge chose the word for each day wisely (you can tell they put thought into which word falls on what day) and if you do a little research as to the significance of each word as it relates to folklore tradition, it can be a really good jumping off point for storytelling.
Hope this helps to get a better idea of the challenge (I too was a little confused about it's open-endedness at first).
