Story Time: Lost and Found

Every year for a while now there has been an illustration challenge on Instagram called Folktale Week. Organised by a dedicated team of illustrators, artists and storytellers this challenge takes place over seven days with a verbal prompt for each day. Over the week participants post their entries for each prompt; these can be separate folktales or – increasingly popular – the prompts are used to invent a tale of one’s own.

I have always doubted my story skills but love the restrictions of a challenge so I regularly join this challenge in order to tell a story of my own in stopmotion form and to try and improve those narrative skills.

This is part one of Folktale Week 2023 (November) with the first prompt : Lost.
