As Halloween approaches, I’ve been seeing many very talented makeup artists recreate the face of the bride in Tim Burton’s “The Corpse Bride.” I thought this would be a good oppertunity to make some art and remind one and all that the “The Corpe Bride” (known in some tellings as “The Finger” or “The Demon in the Tree”) is a beloved Jewish folktale. Folklorist Howard Schwartz traces the orgins of “The Finger” to 16th century Levant. Aftrer hundreds of years of retelling, the story, like all folktales, has undergone many iterations and also became highly informed by the violence of life in the Pale of Settlement (specifically towards women and young brides).

If you'd like to support me, you can do so here <3

Stories are what keep traditions from fading. I’m not a religious person, but I feel connected to my Jewish heritage. I designed these with the idea that gift giving could also be a fun way to learn about history. Make it story time! Also, camels are fun to draw. 🐫 #happyhanukkah #hanukkah #greetingcards #giftwrap #wrappingpaper #blue #ribbon #gifts #givegood #storytime #tradition #jewishhistory #camel #whimsical #illustration #folkart #modern #design #forkids #madeincalifornia #pattern #print #matchymatchy #papergoods #etsyshop #etsywholesale #judaica #wrapitup #differencemakesus
