Here’s a bookmark I made for @lilymaidofgallifrey. It finally made its way to the other side of the globe, so I can share it now. I’m really proud of how it turned out.
Need to go on retreat now so I can actually read this ! Looks wonderful. #witchesofinstagram #arthurian #magic
Project I’m currently working on for my Illustration Studio class. We chose a book between the years of 1980-1999 and then redrew the cover in a new way. I chose The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I never read it before (I read summaries to get an idea as to what it was about for the cover), but once I save up enough money for it I will def buy it!
I will upload the full cover when it’s complete. I finished the spine, now to do the back!

It’s Sunday evening and I’ve been busy all day so the tea part of @bibliophilicwitch’s Sunday tomes and tea has morphed into a gin & tonic. My literary accompaniment is the rather pretty Barnes & Noble version of Howard Pyle’s The Story of King Arthur and his Knights.
Here is the official vulgate cycle lore about which of these brothers are hunkiest.
♛ Morgan le Fay + books {6/ ∞}
the road to avalon (joan wolf)
“ She had to clench her hands to keep herself from reaching for him. What was there to say? That she would always love him? But he knew that already. ‘Be the king you were born to be’, she said at last. He stood for a moment, poised and taut as an arrow, then turned and left her room as silently as he had come.”
The pageantry and passionate intrigues of King Arthur’s court are expertly re-created in this historical novel—the only Arthurian novel in which all of the central characters are portrayed as intrinsically good people. This realistic retelling of the legend shows Arthur severing the bonds of bastardy, vanquishing the Saxons, and loving one woman. As the daring teenage warrior prepares for the throne, he discovers true love with Morgan of Avalon, the youngest of Merlin’s daughters, but fate cruelly thwarts their hopes for a future together. Never before has a telling of the Arthur story made the breathtaking drama of this charismatic king more real or moving.
