Witch Krafting with Kat

  Welcome to another Kat's Folklore Gallery, this week I am sharing folklore and otherworldly artwork by Theodore Kittelsen. All images are now in the public domain because of their age.  Little bio: Theodor Severin Kittelsen born 27 April 1857 – died 21 January 1914, was a Norwegian artist.  Kittelsen became famous for his nature paintings, as well as for his illustrations of fairy tales and legends, especially of trolls which are my personal favourites. Some of the images were sourced at  https://www.nasjonalmuseet.no/en/ Thank you for visiting my blog please join me again next Wednesday.  Witchy Wednesday's will be returning in September.  Kat 😊 🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼
