Rhiannon


This is my entry for the Theme Thursday Challenge where the theme is "Animals". I love this image from e-vint.com and am reminded of the tale of Rhiannon who is likened to the Goddess Epona (Goddess of Horses). There seems to have always been a deep association with women and horses in myth and history particularly Roman and Celtic. I went through the "Horse phase" as many young girls do. I still love horses for their beauty , strength and their sense of freedom of spirit. I added background imagery from a freebie from Collage Obsession, masonry wall from scrapbookgraphics and script from assorted artist papers. Soft light and multiply filters added.

    Beautiful calmness is always found in your collages and each tells it's own story. I love visiting to see what new visions you have brought to life.
