Day 18 #ArtAdventCalendar: my #linocut of Slavic #fairytale Vasilisa the Beautiful with the skull lantern. Before her mother’s death, she gave Vasilisa a wooden doll & told her to keep it secret & with her always & whenever she needed help or comfort to offer the doll food & water & seek her help & the doll would provide. The doll helped her with her grief after her mother’s death. 🧵1/n
