The girl with 7 horses #7


Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginary horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fiercefull winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn't weigh much). The girl was devestated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.

Prints from the story available HERE

  14. I love the horses! Thank you. An additional step, I can imagine you laying on the ground in different positions, wearing different clothing, becoming part of the horse scene -- maybe riding them, leading them, or just floating near them -- and taking the pictures from directly above giving the impression of 2d or 3d...
