Ever After is Tam’s newest collaborative course! It is a rather magical course because it has a ‘Fairytale Theme’ AND we focus on style development in depth!

* Leave a comment below, letting us know what your favorite fairy tale (or magical story/ myth) is *
Hi Alena. It’s nit exactly a fairytale, but I love Merida from the film Brave; she is so strong and confident. It was great to see a story where the hero of the tale is female! Thanks for the chance to win a spot on Ever After this year, I’d love to win!
Alice in Wonderland is my favorite but I really love them all!thanks for the incredible opportunity! I looked at this last year and would love to be able to take the class!
Hi Alene, I think I did the above 2 okay I am already signed up for newsletter and clicked on follow you on Instagram! I enjoy many of the World Flutelore: Folktales, Myths, and Other Stories of Magical Flute Power! Can’t pick just one ☺ Thank you for the opportunity to join you all on this journey!!! ☮
I’m so excited about this opportunity…what an amazing gift anyone can receive. To be taught by all these amazing artists..wow. I’m feeling very positive that whoever receives this spot will enjoy the classes tremendously. I know I would. As I have an 8-year-old daughter, we would be able to use this as bonding time and learn about all the Fairy Tales she loves. She loves any fairy tale that has animals in them, but my favourite will always be “The Little Mermaid” and “Dumbo”. Although our financial situation is a disaster at the moment, we would definitely make the best of this opportunity. Crossing fingers and toes. Sending much love from South Africa xxx
My all time favorite is Cinderella. Especially when they give it twist and she’s the strong one like Ever After with Drew Barrymore or even A Cinderella Story. Thank you for the chance! It sounds really fun!
Beauty and the beast has always been my favourite. At the end of one version I saw, it said that for someone to be loveable they must first be loved, and I like that. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
My favorite fairytale is Little Red Riding Hood.
I think my favorite fairy tale character is the Swan Princess. I’m not even sure that’s what she’s called, but the main gist of the story is that she has seven brothers who get turned into birds, and she has to weave them sweaters made of stinging nettles without uttering a sound to turn them back. She kind of embodies the strength and devotion I want to have for the people I love.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter the giveaway. 🙂
Hi Alena! Thank you for this amazing opportunity! ♡ I was already subscribed to your newslettter and I’ve just started following you on Instagram (I’m still very new to Instagram and figuring out how it works ^_^).
My favorite fairytale is Alice in Wonderland. I love the quote ‘You’re mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.’ And I love that everything is possible, gives me hope for real life ♡
You won dear! May I have your email?
Growing up in Sweden, my favorite fairytale as a child was Pippi Longstocking because she is strong & fearless. … and she still holds a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a spot in this awesome Art course.
Alice in Wonderland, if you count that as a fairy tale – I love the characters and the sheer creativeness of the story. Thank you so much for a chance to win! I’m looking forward to this round of Ever After.
My favourite story is Alice in Wonderland! I’m following you on Instagram under the name Caroklbu
Subscribed and following. I enjoy so many tales and retellings. Hard to choose just one. And I see some teachers are sharing ones I am not familiar with. I am so looking forward to this. I hope I can win.
Hansel and Gretel is a fun tale with lots of life stories to explore.
You won Laura! Get in touch with Willowing.org to claim your spot!! Lots of love to you

My favorite is Alice in Wonderland. Thank you for the opportunity. I’m signed up for your newsletter and following on IG. Good luck to everyone!
I’m already signed up for your newsletter and I follow you on IG…YAY! I have always been fascinated by Snow White. I think it’s genetic, as my daughter and granddaughter also were fascinated with this fairy tale when they were young. My daughter dressed up as Snow White for Halloween until she was 13! Magical, right?
Lately my favorite has been East of the Sun, West of the Moon
I signed up for your newsletter and followed you on IG. I have all my fingers and toes crossed to win a spot. It’s hard to pick just one fairytale. I’m going to go with Alice in Wonderland for the vivid imagination of it.
I signed up to your newsletter and am now following you on IG!
My fave fairytale has to be the Beauty and the beast! Love how She is so independent! And that she do not ” judge a book by it’s cover “
Hi, Alena, My favorite fairy tales is Little Red Riding Hood although hard to limit to one! I would love to win a spot in this course! Thank you! Love your art!
The opportunity to learn from such a diverse group of talented artists would be phenomenal. I love that the lessons are based on fairy tales from around the world. I can’t wait to dive in and learn about those from other cultures that I am unfamiliar with. This will be another way to share my love of fairy tales with my granddaughters! –Already subscribe to your newsletter and following you 🙂
Wow awesome artwork Alena, signed up for your sub and would love to win a spot on Ever After. Thanks for the opportunity. You are such an inspiration.
Wow awesome artwork Alena, signed up for your sub and would love to win a spot on Ever After. Thanks for the opportunity. You are such an inspiration., my fave alice in wonderland and strangely enough I like Grimm’s fairy tails.
Subscribed and following. Choosing one fairy tale is hard. I’m fond of the Disney movie version of Sleeping Beauty, because of the music and the scene between Maleficent as dragon and the Prince.
Already get your newsletter and already follow you on Instagram! My favorite fairy tale is the Ever After movie version of Cinderella. Can’t wait for your class – and have my fingers crossed about winning a spot!
My favourite story is Gulliver’s Travels, I loved the contrast between the little people and Gulliver. His travels inspired me as a child and today I’m forever wandering the world. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
Hi Alena! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a spot. I signed up for your newsletter and am now following you in IG.
My favorite myth is the Persephone myth as told in the Dianic tradition where Persephone isn’t abducted and forced into the Underworld, but voluntarily spends half the year there because she wants to for love and for the ability to learn the mysteries of life and death.
I’ve loved Alice in Wonderland from the beginning … all because of that wonderfully sarcastic cat! 🙂
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a spot on Ever After <3 My favorite, if I had to choose one, is Alice from Wonderland. However, I really love most fairy tales, especially those that have been retold or artists who come up with their own interpretations!
I am a big Alice In Wonderland fan. Love the quirky characters, and enjoyed Tim Burton’s take on the tale.
So excited for Ever After! I love so many fairy tales, myths and magical stories! I especially love Stardust – Neil Gaiman’s one high fantasy tale. I recommend it to EVERYONE!!!
I’m signed up for your newsletter and I follow on Instagram.
Many thanks for the opportunity to win a spot!!!
Well Alice in Wonderland is definitely my most favorite. But they are ALL so amazing and magical and just make me feel so happy like everything is ok, lol!
I would really love to win this. I’m just getting into art and loving mixed media. I know this would be SO amazing and would teach me so much. I won’t be able to afford my own ticket though right now. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. It is so amazing to me the things that all of you wonderful ladies do
I loved Snow White as a child. Hoping to win a spot on EA2019 and so looking forward to your lesson. Thanks for the opportunity!
My fav is Alice in Wonderland. So quirky and full of brilliant quotes and characters. What’s not to love? ❤
I love so many of them, but I think Snow White might be my favorite
HI! I’ve signed up for your newsletter and really looking forward to receiving it. Like many who have responded I love Alice in Wonderful for all the fantastical and magical imagery and wonder. I would be so blessed by the opportunity to win a spot as budget is tight at the moment after having just retired. It is my second year of mixed media/art journalling and am really searching for my own style. Thank you so much for this opportunity! <3

Hi there! I’ve signed up on Instagram to follow you and I’ve been signed up for your Newsletter for awhile now. My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella. I would really love to take part in Ever After especially with the wonderful line-up of teachers and the fact that this will be the last year running. I am unable to sign up for this workshop due to financial reasons, but I’d sure like to take some time for myself and grow in my art and personally. They say dreams come true and I’m hoping that they will happen to me. Thanks for the chance to earn a spot.
Hi Alena, already following you and I am on your newsletter list. I love beauty and the beast. The fact that it is important to really see someone not based on looks but on the inside. Look further than what you see and take the time to get to know somebody. Relevant message in all times.
I’m keeping fingers and toes crossed to try and win a spot on ever after this year! My favourite fairy tale/ fantasy tales are alive in wonderland and beauty and the beast! Good luck everyone thank you tam and alena for the opportunity!
It’s great you are teaching on Ever After this year! I really enjoyed your lessons on Life Book last year! So inspiring! My favorite fairy tail is Vrouw Holle/Mother Hulda. As a child I found that such a magical story. But I like all fairy tales really, they each have their own power. I follow you on insta (ofcourse:-) as annie_tekent Much love
Well it is so hard to pick – when I was young I could not wait until Sunday night and Disneyland would be on – I used to so love watching all the beautiful amazing fairytales – I so loved Snow White – Cinderella – and Alice in Wonderland
ohh how can you choose – all –
Hi Alena. I already follow you and get your newsletter because we’re old buddies. Thank you for the opportunity to win a space on Ever After. I’ve done it for two years now and it helps me through my battle with chronic pain. It’s a “must do” because I live for fairy tales. Thanks again! <3
Signed up, followed and would love to win a spot! Favorite is Snow White and Rose Red.
Have always been a fan of The Snow Queen and Snow White.
The Queen for her intrigue and White for her way to adapt.
I often wonder of the stories we don’t see that could be happening
around the story we are told… like, what kind of adventure story would
Snow White tell about her short walk into the woods after all the
dwarfs leave? What did she wonder? What did she discover?
What tales could she reveal? 😉
My favorite is Alice in Wonderland! I love all the imaginative imagery and all the kookie characters! I signed up for your newsletter and followed you on Instagram! thank you for giving this opportunity to someone!
So hard to choose!! Cinderella or Alice
My favorite is Beauty and the Beast. Being able to fall in love with who a person is and not what they look like is a great message. Thanks for the chance!
Can’t wait for Ever After to start. Art is my lifesaver at the moment. Stress levels and finances are a disaster at the moment and when I do art I get to forget about life worries for a while. I’m also desperate to find my own style. I keep reverting back to other people’s styles in search of my own. This opportunity would mean the world to me and will not be neglected at all. I’m sending out positivity and love in the hope of being fortunate enough to win a spot. Crossing my fingers and toes. Much love from Cape Town, South Africa. xxx

Hi Alena! My favorite story is Alice in Wonderland, because many times in my life i could relate to her:)))
My favourite folk tale is Baba Yaga and Vassalisa! Thank you for the chance to win! I followed on IG and your newsletter!
Signed up, followed and would so love to win a spot! My favorite is Snow White and Rose Red…an oldie but a goody!
Alive in Wonderland is my favorite but I really love all fairytales! This looks like an amazing class! Hanks for the opportunity!
My 8-year-old and I would use this as some bonding time. We both like fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid, Dumbo, Maleficent, Sleepy Beauty and many more. This opportunity would mean the world to us both as she just loves doing art with me. We will not be neglected this course at all. I’m sending out positivity and love in the hope of being fortunate enough to win a spot. Crossing my fingers and toes. Much love from Cape Town, South Africa. xxx
