TaleWorld

A group of small sewn gnomes in red and white toadstool caps, sitting together in a wicker basket in long grass, with a sunlit forest behind them.

TaleWorld is a small world made by hand. Its houses are built, its heroes are sewn, and its streets are lit and photographed one table at a time. It has a workshop, a post office, and heroes who live in it.

The post office

Vasyl's Post

Vasyl is the postman of TaleWorld. He walks the village, sees what happens and writes it down. Some of what he writes leaves the world entirely and arrives in a real postbox.

His letters are already written, and come as files you print at your own table — Letters from Vasyl.

Write to Gnome Vasyl
Ask Vasyl for a letter of your own. For now he sends it as a file to print at home; real postboxes come later. Yulia reads every request herself.
