Testing out some color ideas in preparation for Mythtober 2021 ✨ My newest plan is to make each mythic creature square (individual prompt days) into a cumulative poster print. So the little square backgrounds will link up and make a huge gradient background. Hope that makes sense. I can’t wait for Mythtober art challenge to begin! Just a few more days… 💜👻💜👺💜 . Follow along for some or all of my Mythtober 2021 prompts!

👉Check out my book! 🏮🎋Extraordinary letters and postcards have been written to you as Ursa travels Japan, discovering yokai, spirits, and mythic creatures. 👺 . #indiebooks #indiebook #mythicmail #mythicalcreatures #yokai #yokaiwatch #yokaiart #japan #traveljapan #japantravel #japanesefolklore #japanesemonster #snailmaillove #indiebookstore #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #mythology #japanesemythology #japaneseculture #mythical #christmasgifts #shopsmall #smallbusinesssaturday https://www.instagram.com/p/CTr9QUtJc4R/?utm_medium=tumblr
Mythic Mail Letters From Japan book secrets: 👺Today’s Easter egg (super top secret hidden gem) is this illustrated postcard featuring the Bura-Bura, or haunted paper lantern. The characters that make his eyes and nose are called “henohenomoheji” using Japanese hiragana. It’s a little joke that these characters look like a face when arranged on paper. The eyes are “no”, the nose is “mo”. Not pictured are “he” for the eyebrows and mouth and “ji” for the outline of the face. ✨Link to the book in my bio✨ . #burabura #haunted #hauntedattraction #foxfire #kitsune #indiebooks #indiebook #mythicmail #mythicalcreatures #yokai #yokaiwatch #yokaiart #japan #traveljapan #japantravel #japanesefolklore #japanesemonster #snailmaillove #indiebookstore #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #mythology #japanesemythology #japaneseculture #mythical (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfRhasJ8or/?utm_medium=tumblr
