I did mention I loved Misraaks more than anything, right? One of many self indulgent drawings that have happened over the last few weeks. And which I’ll probably be posting more of. Fair warning.

Bonus of Misraaks gathering all that glacial starwort:

Stellaria, the forest starwort, starwort, stitchwort or chickweed (lat. Stellária).

A sorceress named Midnight wandered through the forest.

And she dropped the star beads in the grass.

And in the morning from the warm April land.

Those white stars rose in flowers.

Звездчатка лесная или бахромчатолепестник (лат. Stellária), также её знают, как совиное зелье, дикая розга, белило, чаведа, пырник, расперстница и яскирка.

Волшебница — Полночь по лесу бродила. И бусинки – звёзды в траву обронила. А утром из тёплой апрельской земли. Те белые звёзды цветами взошли. (неизвестный автор)

Question, are there any tales like The Six Swans where someone has to make a Super Impossible Garment?

From what I've read, not many!

Of course there are variants of The Six Swans, each with a slightly different garment as the (nearly) impossible task. So the princess might sew shirts out of asters or starwort (Grimm), stinging nettles (Andersen), star-flowers (Lang) or thistles (Asbjonsen & Moe) to break her brothers' curse. It's notable that in the Grimms and Lang's versions the stepmother curses the princes by sewing an enchantment into their shirts. So the cure parallels the curse. But there are many versions of this fairy tale where magic clothes do not feature at all.

In the Norwegian folktale Doll i' the Grass, a king tasks his twelve sons with finding a wife that is able to spin, weave and sew a shirt in one day. The youngest meets a young lady so tiny she is hidden among the grass and she is able to complete the impossible task.

In the Scottish ballad The Elfin Knight a young lady hears an elven knight blow on his horn and wishes she could be her lover. He offers to marry her, if she can make him a fine sark (shirt or smock) without a cut or a hem, made without knife or scissors, sewn without needle or thread. (She responds with some impossible tasks for him to complete before she will do such a thing, most of which are by know more well known from the song Scarborough Fair.)

Another famous example of requesting "impossible garments" are the three dresses requested by the unhappy princess in stories like All-Kinds-of-Fur, Donkeyskin and Mossycoat, to delay her marriage. But in these stories the impossible garments (a dress the colour of all the birds in the air, a dress bright as the stars, etc.) are quickly procured by the unwanted suitor.

The Japanese fairy tale The Bamboo-Cutter's Daughter has a similar motif with the protagonist requesting a robe made from the skins of fire rats, which ought to be impossible.

That's all the examples I can think of, which rather surprises me! I'll try to keep an eye out for them from now on.
