Puzzle Description:

A Celtic Boar. Arduinna is the Celtic boar goddess. Don't ask me why I chose that for my login. I just like it! --Theresa

Starting from the right I was sure it was an American bison with Indian symbols- cool anyway! Thanks!

I recognised Arduinna as Celtic, but still thought it was a bison until the head was almost complete.
Love the swirls!

Wow! Terrific puzzle. A challenge from start to finish. Great design on the boar. Very clever. This was a very fun puzzle. Thank you Theresa. ^>^

I won't ask why (you said not to) but is there a connection between your login and your heritage? Also, is this a hint with regards to your sign? If it is, for the life of me, I just don't get it right now. I'll work my brain a little more on it tomorrow! Thanks again.

I didn't mean don't ask because it's personal... it's just not that interesting! I have a Celtic dictionary that I occasionally look through for fun, and I just like the idea of a beautiful goddess with a pig for her symbol! We actually did a geneology once and traced our family back to the Scotch-Irish who came to Philedelphia, but I'm an Okie.

My Dad's an Okie too! So is my youngest son's godfather. Some very good men are from Oklahoma. My Dad and his family left during the Dust Bowl. Migrated to Texas then to the Central Valley in CA and finally Pacifica where he met and married the girl next door. My father couldn't carry a tune in a handbasket. The man is tone deaf. Among my favorite memories is watching Oklahoma! every year with my Dad. He would belt those songs out full tilt and off key. Is the corn really as high as an elephant's eye?

I think that it's very interesting that you thumb through a Celtic dictionary for fun! And I like your login name. A Goddess with a pig is a funny image.
Hmm. I wonder if that's another clue to your birth sign?

It's a great puzzle Theresa. Or would you prefer to be called Arduinna? Thanks for the fun. ^>^

Excellent puzzle, I loved it, there were plenty of tricky bits and the final image is great. Really enjoyable, thanx :)

Theresa's fine! I've never seen an elephant in a corn field, but I remember singing a lot of the songs from Oklahoma for a school production when I was in the third grade.

As for birth sign, that would be a ram. Hmmmm, maybe I should see if there's a Celtic ram...

Or, maybe I should have made a bison since I'm from Oklahoma. But I would have called it a buffalo!

Great design! Very stylish looking.

I changed the title of this one to go with the "series," but I didn't make any changes to the puzzle itself. I've been meaning to do this for a while!

I am really enjoying this Celtic series, thanks!

I love that even though the title tells you that it's going to be an animal, the actual design is a complete mystery. Great image!

Go Boston! LOL (JK)
#13: Arduinna (arduinna) on Aug 28, 2008
Took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. Not into sports!
#14: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Aug 28, 2008
LOL It was just a silly joke. :-)

I also solved from right to left and initially thought I was solving for a petroglyph. Very cool image and fun pattern to the progression in the solve.

Great image. Fun solve.
