Once again, using different ways of combining mine and Catherine’s drawings

[miaox3-blog]

My drawings mixed with Catherine’s animals. I’ve played around with them a lot on Photoshop to make it a little more interesting.

These symbols were taken from a Chinese book showing their meanings. I’ve only selected the positive ones that represent beauty, sun, peace, nature, wealth etc. I’ve combined them with the rest of my Miao research.

A map of the Mabinogion stories. The Mabinogion is a series of medieval Welsh stories arguably dating back to the 9th century. ‘The tales themselves are concerned with the themes of fall and redemption, loyalty, marriage, love, fidelity, the wronged wife, and incest. They're set in a bizarre and magical landscape which corresponds geographically to the western coast of south and north Wales, and are full of white horses that appear magically, giants, beautiful, intelligent women and heroic men.’http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/sites/themes/society/myths_mabinogion.shtml
