Ludmila is shy, dark and mysterious …yet fair and deep down, innocent.
.
Luda is formally from ‘The Isle of Brus’ and made her way to the mainland by boat at night. However, on arriving, she quickly found herself in wrong place at the wrong time near the Nipan Caves on the coastline. Her journey on the mainland was short-lived and she was taken hostage by the cunning night traveller, vampire bat, ‘Dwade Khan.’ After accusing her of trespassing on private property, the bat decided that her payment was a pint of blood! Petrified at such a suggestion, Luda begged for an alternative payment for her fine. Dwade smiled, her fear immediately had her at his disposal. Luda was made to become the Dwade’s personal servant at his residence in the dark, Nipan Caves… she has not seen much sunlight since…

Hi everyone! I’m Bec and I’m the photographic

Hi everyone! I’m Bec and I’m the photographic artist behind the storytelling images you see here! You can follow me here and @swevenia on Instagram and Facebook. I just want to take a moment to welcome to my new followers and thank you all my friends for continuing to follow on! Your likes, comments and feedback is always lovely to receive and welcome! It makes me happy when people fall in love with my characters and enjoy my imagery!
.
I enjoy spending time in imaginary worlds. I love magical stories and illustrations of enchanted places far away, and books are a magic portal which are capable of transporting us anywhere! I find great inspiration in books and illustrations, especially that of classic childhood stories. Not only that, but I have also met many different artists here on Instagram who are a continuous source of inspiration and new ideas! It’s such a joy to share creative output with others and celebrate the unique vision each and every artist has. Sharing works sows more seeds of inspiration for the creative community everyday and from this, ideas and new unique artworks!

I’ve become a collector of many beautiful characters and props made by some of the most talented artists I now know and consider my friends. It’s been such a pleasure to get to know these lovely artists and adopt a little piece of their “unique magic” to add to my imaginary world called Swevenia! Some of the amazing creative friends I have been blessed to get to know quite well are @raginevich_natasha, @ratberrytoys, @blythe_in_wonderland, @_just_shining_ , @dasha_pogorelaya, @sweet_sign @katalenadoll @gloria_the_art_of_wood, @bakenekoodessa are just to name a few! Their work is AMAZING - so check it out!

Mr Wellington runs a bustling antique shop in the

Mr Wellington runs a bustling antique shop in the Hygge Province. He is a successful businessman and watching customers part with their money makes the old tortoise’s blood warm with delight! He’s full of wit and charm and he never fails to make a customer smile and giggle, even if it is at his own embarrassment or inability to do things! His old creaky body and severe arthritis limits his movement (in addition to being cold blooded) and he often says he feels like a “bull in a china shop” amongst his precious antiques in a cluttered showroom. Even getting loose change out of the cash register is a difficult task for clumsy arthritic hands! Mr Wellington often scoops the change out of the till with a dessert spoon while muttering with frustration “you know, a man has to have a hand like a snake these days...” as he scoops the coins from the tray with great concentration (including his tongue poking to the side of his mouth). Customers always giggle and smile at his sayings and sharp wit! He may be old and slow, but his mind is as sharp as a tack! 📌

“Can you read, Jeremy?” Mikka shyly asked.
“Well of course I can read, Mikka!” Jeremy smiled.
“Then what sort of books do you read?” Mikka asked.
“Oh I love cookery books and books about tea brewing and high tea!” Jeremy exclaimed. “What do you like reading Mikka?”
“Oh, I love books with a magical story…” she replied, “the ones that magically take you away to another place, and you can still stay home….”

Mikka Blythe often helps old Mr Wellington in his Antique Shop doing odd jobs, dusting, rearranging and sweeping floors – so long as a sweet treat is the reward for her efforts! Today she met Jeremy in the store and helped him find a new pastry cook book.

This extraordinary the Magpie Goose, Jeremy! This gentleman is a very popular resident in the Hygge Province. To say that Jeremy is obsessed with all things about a High Tea ☕️ 🍰 is a complete understatement! Jeremy is a collector of teapots, tea cups, mugs, extravagant tea sets and serving plates. In addition, he has a deep knowledge of tea varieties, brewing times and temperatures. This tea savvy Gander also believes the teapot and tea cup shape and design strongly influence of the tea drinking experience and the final tea taste! 😳😂 Jeremy enjoys baking daily accompaniments for his tea drinking obsession. He is extremely talented in the kitchen and bakes cakes 🧁, slices 🍰, pastries 🥮 and biscuits 🍪 daily to share with his friend over high tea ☕️ gatherings! His sweets are so popular that Jeremy shares his love of high tea with residents far and wide who visit his newly opened tea house 🏠 for copious cups of various teas and a wide selection of scrumptious freshly baked goods!

I made my bad boy Blaise a leather coat to match his hat and finish his look. He is pictured here looking “warlock dapper” in his leathers and totally owing his new look and feeling the bad boy vibes!!!

I’m not much of a sewing guru at all and I was happy no needle or thread was required to make this coat for Blaise! ...but I did get some great advice from my talented seamstress friend Meredith @_just_shining_ (thanks 🙏😘Meredith)!

Eddie and Maggie are very special friends. Maggie

Eddie and Maggie are very special friends. Maggie sees little Eddie as a mother would her own son.
.
The pair met when Maggie came to the aid of Eddie early one evening when he became lost, scared and separated from his big brothers in the grasslands. Since then, Eddie and his brothers regularly visit Maggie's gum tree to share supper and listen to her sweet warbling lullabies into the evening. It was a particularly special time when the three rabbits and Maggie would sing to her unhatched eggs. The brothers were excited that Maggie was going to be a mother and were looking forward to meeting her chicks soon.
.
One evening they arrived to discover destruction and carnage on the ground under Maggie’s tree. Her nest had been raided, it was laying on the ground surrounded by eggshells and tiny feathers …and Maggie was nowhere to be found! Eddie was inconsolable. His brothers hailed down the help of two kind passers-by from another world... this was the beginning of the journey to help Eddie find his beloved Maggie.... you’ll find this story in my 2019 visual narrative #inadaydreamseries
.
This image sums up Eddie and Maggie’s special bond.

“What makes you vulnerable, makes you beautiful…” – Brené Brown
.
After the unexpected death Queen Adela, her young teenage daughter, Ravenna was the next in line to the throne. Ravenna would now be the new Queen of Swevenia, with no training and little experience…
.
When Knight Frey heard the devastating news of his dearest friend’s passing, he travelled to the mainland without hesitation to find Princess Ravenna and offer his condolences and assist her during her transition as the new Queen.
.
Ravenna had been in shock and managed a brave face, bottling up her emotions. Wellington and Chávez were very concerned for the young Queen and offered to take her on a picnic in Hopewood Forest to talk and get some fresh air, away from Château du Corbeau. When Ravenna spotted loyal Knight Frey walking towards them in the distance, Ravenna began to cry and ran briskly towards him, falling into his warm embrace and wept. Frey’s familiar and reassuring presence exposed Ravenna’s fragility, the uncertainty ahead scared her and in that moment, she was grateful for her friends and Knight Frey.

Meet “Knight Frey.” This savvy wolf is a capable, confident and strong-willed character who will always stand up for what he knows in his heart is right. He resides on “Amaruq Wolfrik Island” which lies to the east of the mainland. He is a brave warrior and prides himself on his reliability and his loyal service to the Queen for assisting with the preservation and protection of Swevenia.

Close-up: “The Rescue of Anton.” After a traum

Close-up: “The Rescue of Anton.” After a traumatic week and eventually escaping the clutches of Blaise the Warlock, Anton was tired and dehydrated. He was discovered at dawn sleeping against a tree on the outskirts of Hopewood Forest by Louis. After waking the mandrake, Louis heard all about Mandrake’s terrible experience. Anton begged Louis not to leave him, petrified the Warlock may find him. After reassuring Anton he would promptly get help, Louis ran as fast as he could to Wellington’s shop (only 5 minutes away) and desperately knocked on the door, to wake the old tortoise. After asking for help, Louis borrowed Wellington’s wheelbarrow and raced back to the forest to collect the Mandrake. Old Wellington, filled an urn of water and collected a cup. The old tortoise waddled out to the park next door to the shop where he reunited with Louis emerging back from the forest with Anton in the wheelbarrow. Anton gratefully sculled two full glasses of water! Wellington was keen to hear what had happened to him, knowing he had an important story to tell about a unsavoury Thistle Rabbit, named Blaise.  . A close-up snippet of the image “The Rescue of Anton” © 2021 Bec Joannou.

Miss Faye is a young damsel from the Camembert Cou

Miss Faye is a young damsel from the Camembert County in the North. She attends Hopewood school. Faye can be shy and quietly spoken, however, when as she gets to know others, she slowly comes out of her shell just a little more.
Darling Miss Faye has met many new friends by attending Hopewood School in the Hygge Province and she enjoys being taught by Miss Maple. Faye loves dressing up and she has made wonderful friends with the two fashionable and smartly dressed young Blythe sisters, Mikka and Leia. Faye loves borrowing dresses from the sister’s wardrobe. Faye is learning ballet and she loves twirling in her tutu! She has encouraged her best friend Ettie (a sweet little mandrake girl who lives with Blanca the White Witch) to also attend dance classes and the two are now inseparable.

Mandrakes are an endangered species in Swevenia. T

Mandrakes are an endangered species in Swevenia. The Thistle Rabbit sorcerers have used mandrake extractions and infusions for their brews and magic spells for centuries. Over the last century there has been a rapid decline of the species, so finding a mandrake in Swevenia these days is very rare.
.
Anton is a Mandrake who had enjoyed all of his life in his isolated position, planted at the rear of a quiet Olive Grove in the Reyna Province, just down the hill from Chateau du Corbeau. Anton was very content with his hidden placement in the Olive Grove. His only friends where his fireflies in the evenings and Blanca the ‘White Witch’. Blanca, who is a Thistle Rabbit herself, does not practice the dark arts and she is very concerned about the fact that Mandrakes are no longer a common plant. Blanca and her adopted daughter, Ettie now visit Anton 2-3 times a week to ensure he is preserved and protected. However, one day when they arrived at his spot, they found a hole in the ground where he once resided. It was clear the Mandrake had been pulled from the earth and dragged a distance leaving a large soil trail. It was later found that the culprit was Blaise the Warlock.
.
I cannot wait to create images for that part of the story, but as you know, Anton has since escaped the clutches of Blaise and is now safe.
