I have just joined a new Yahoo Group, called TriciasTextileChallenge. The First Challenge is to do a Symbol size 6x4. I have done an Egyptian Symbol The Eye Of Horus. meaning Healing and protection. I laid somegmmy fibres down first onto cotton fabric, then added wool rovings into the shapes i wanted, Sprayed and ironed, then added a piece of organza on top needled felted carefully. then stitched around the shapes. just need to add a backing of pelmet vilene, which of course i am all out of.. You can find out all about Tricai on http://lets-create.blogspot.com/

Lovely colours and there is something so magical about the Egyptions :)
That's lovely Genie. That symbol is also one of my favourites and you have chosen some beautiful colours to make it in.
This is very nice, Genie. I love the colors you've used.
I am soooo into Egyptian themes in my needlelace and embroidery at the moment ... love your Eye of Horus - very cool! :D
Britt Western Australia :D
I really like your Eye of Horus Jean. Years ago I had a painting of the Eye of Horus above my bed.
