Dear Lilie,
Thank you for adding beauty to this thread.
I have always felt very close to Egypt; as an art student this was muy favorite subject.

Here is another treasure from Tutankhamen's tomb, so delicate, and so much up to date.

I lived in Egypt for a while.
All this brings back very fond memories.
Thank you very much for this wonderful display.

I am sorry about the names of my files above the images. The images are in 'My Documents' and the names are for my personal use. They may not make any sense; please ignore them.

I wondered how you made it.
