Miki's Apollo

Apollo was the Greek and Roman god of the sun, and was also associated with healing, music, poetry, light, prophecy and fertility. In Greece, he was the son of Zeus and Leto, one of the twelve great Olympians, and twin brother of Artemis (Diana in Roman mythos). The Greeks also considered Apollo to be the same deity and the Kemetic/Egyptian Horus. He was also regarded as the god of light and truth. His most important task, however, was to drive his chariot across, pulling the sun up each morn. His associated colors are red, gold and white- and symbols of Apollo include the sun, laurel and lyre. In "Apollo" by Microferk Designs, you will find a rich palette of golds and browns, creams, deep reds and vivid greens- making a kit that is extremely versatile, adapting to masculine or feminine layouts, and is especially appropriate for summer memories with its liberal dusting of sun symbols! In "Apollo" by Microferk Designs, you'll get 12 gorgeous papers- all individually created and textured in those shades of Apollo- a strong base for your layouts.
