Here is the Egyptian fabric that I am going to play with this weekend. I was looking at some books with Egyptian art, and I found an image I hadn't seen before. Apparently this one Pharaoh, Akhenaten, decided that instead of a lot of different Gods, now there would be only one. This God was called Aten, and it was a sun disk with many rays coming out. At the end of each ray is an Egyptian-style hand. The hands are always touching Akhenaten and his wife, Nefertiti, or handing them something. I really like that image and somehow I'm going to have it in my quilt. Those little hands are going to be tricky, though.
I have some heiroglyphic rubber stamps that might work. I'm amost positive that there is a little Egyptian hand in the set. Oh Joy!
