This shape was made by freezing a depression in the mud created by my horses.

***Fabiola said "interesting process" ...Just in case,,... I want you to know---...I did not make the depression and let it freeze. ***

I just went out to the barn after a wet, then, freezing night, then raced back to the house to get my camera before everything melted!...

there were so many cool shapes frozen in the mud!

Who knew how artistic my horses were at "fingerpainting"??!!! from the curves, I'd say at least 10 hooves stepped into this spot before it rained.

Also, I didn't change the shape at all. I put it on a black BG, so you wouldn't see the mud, and blurred the outer edges a tiny bit.
