Hi everybody!
'Egypt' is a good theme, with many wonderful places and artefacts to inspire us. I cut a triangular tag from
corrugated card, which I distressed and painted with acrylic in black
with some touches of blue, and added some fairy dust while the paint was
still wet. I chose Bastet as the subject of my tag.She was a
cat-goddess in old Egypt, and is sometimes portrayed as a women with a
cat head. She was associated with war, and the sun, but also was
regarded as goddess of women, fertility, music and dance, and had to
guard the sun by night so that the mice didn't steal it! I have put my
tag in front of a statue of Bastet, and added the sacred Ibis, wearing the double crown.
That's all for today, take care, have fun and thanks for coming by!
Love the triangle and the lush colour on your tag Valerie.
