The idea of painting some illustrations based on popular old folktales came to me when I worked on the images for the ‘Art of Faery’ art-book, some years ago. Firstly, I thought of making illustrations from fairytales most than folktales that usually are bawdy and often violent – not children’s stories actually. In the past I’ve tried to involve other artists in this project. But for several reasons it seems that the idea of a collaborative project isn’t the good one – I mean, people usually stop write back to me as soon as I mention the project ^_________^. Then, I was lucky enough to recently work on similar projects and I put off my plans for awhile.
In these days, I’ve started thinking again of it and finally I’ve decided to start working seriously on my ‘Folk Tales’ project. The first illustrations will be based on some of my favourite tales from the wonderful collection compiled by Italo Calvino. And then…maybe some new original tales could be illustrated! I should say it will be a project I can devote myself to only in my spare time but I think to seriously try to find a publisher for it, finally. That said, if someone is interested in it, don’t hesitate to drop me a line ^_- I need your support!

I would be interested, I've had similar ideas. I love reading the more obscure folktales from around the world *!*
ps. you mentioned in your twitter about buying a new BJD… what is it?!?! We'd love to see more of your two beautiful enchanted dolls too *please please*
Sounds like an interesting project. I'd definitely be interested.
Thank you Sara! I'm glad to see people are interested in that project of mine, it could be helpful when trying to get in touch with publishers!
It's a boy doll this time ^_^ And I bought it at Doll in Mind online shop. He's so beautiful, I don't know how I can wait for almost a month to have him delivered to me!
I should take more pictures of all my dolls, not just my EDs! But I can only draw and draw and draw recently, no time for anything else!
Yep, thank you! It's great to be supported in this new venture of mine!
C'est un très beau projet Nati ! J'espère que tu trouveras un éditeur ^_^, la petite fille est très jolie, j'ai hâte d'en voir plus.
Bonne continuation !
Ooooh, brilliant!! I am very excited to hear about this. I wish you the best of luck with it…! :D
Adoro sia Italo Calvino che il tuo stile, e sarei onorata di collaborare con te. Il problema è il mio, di stile. Non so se sarebbe adatto al soggetto. XD
that's an excellent idea (and i really like Italo Calvino as a writer !)
this wip is beautiful Nati !
Grazie per il commento e l'incoraggiamento! In realta' al momento – vedi precedenti disastrosi tentativi di cercare una collaborazione per qs progetto – non sono in cerca di nuovi compagni d'avventure. Penso che la cosa non si risolverebbe nel migliore dei modi, da quello che mi e' capitato di vedere in passato. Ma grazie ancora, magari in futuro potrebbero esserci altre occasioni di lavorare assieme!
Nati I think this is a really interesting project, I'm interested for sure.
