Popular Post Fred Kile Posted July 11, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) My wife really likes ancient Egyptian art so I thought I'd make her an Egyptian artifact. Yeah, I know, sounds kind of crazy, but it was fun doing it as it's for her birthday. This is made of two layers of plywood and a mixture of white sand and sawdust glued to the scroll cut plywood. My wife likes it, so, so do I. I hope you do too. Edited July 11, 2020 by Fred Kile Forgot to explain what it is made of.

The portion of the artifact that I copied is about a tenth of the whole image. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
