Anyhow, he brought, a book(of eygpt), and 8 yrds, of eygpt print material. He gave me 2 yards of that print. The question I have for any & everyone is, what can I do with it. I hate to cut it up. I thought, of cutting it in 1/2, and sew the 2 peices together
What about a bit of embellishment for a wall hanging. Add some metallic gold things----------maybe a small pyramid, piece of head gear, columns.
Oh, maybe take a part some old jewelry and attach some how.
