Papyrus Painting
I've fallen in love with the imagery of the Egyptian gods. But who can blame me? They're striking, to say the least. I've long wanted some nice statues of the Netjeru for my shrine, but since I can't afford to go out and but any, I
decided to paint images of them instead. Creativity is my favorite – and in my opinion the most meaningful – form of devotion, so while I admire (and pine after) their statuary, I also welcome the chance to create something beautiful on their behalf.
