Shrine Doors

You guys wouldn't believe again the pure adrenaline that pumped (gushed) through me when I completed these doors. I took the inspiration from the designed sides and doors of Tutankhamun's shrines. I constructed the doors and hinges of clay and imprinted them with a Djed-Isis Knot design from a little trinket from my room. The rotaries for the hinges that are attached to the door are just skewers painted with gold. The doors don't open all the way, but whatever. In the burial, I will have to bind the handles together and stamp an 'official' seal in it.

:D

Golden Lounge Chair

You wouldn't believe the excitement I had making this one. Really, it's one of the most exciting items for met yet. I constructed the body of the lounge bed of popsicle sticks, making two separate rectangular frames and painting them before putting linen cloth between them and glueing it together. The legs are made of clay, as the headrest. I think it's 'vedy nice'.

Table of the Holies.

This table was quite time consuming but I finished it, so I'm very happy. It too is constructed of popsicle sticks and skewers and is painted black like resin. I detailed the sides like ivory inlays and the tabletop upper and lower edges with gold. The Hieroglyphics read "He of the Sedge and the Bee", one of the most ancient titles of the pharaoh. I'm deciding whether or not to put a linen backdrop for the space above the bar going horizontally on the legs. Any advice?

Hunting Chest

This chest of war goods kind of excited me when I was making it because I couldn't believe how much TINY detial I was actually putting into it. I constructed this of popsicle sticks as well and skewers for the carrying poles. I still need to make decorative ends for them, but otherwise, I think it's finished. I got my inspiration from one of the chests from Tutankhamun's Antechamber.

Shabti Box

The first of the many items is a shabti box (constructed of popsicle sticks). I didn't really have much inspiration for this one and virtually winged it. I painted it to appear like a dark wood and lined the edges and top panel with silver, plus two white "ivory" handles. I'm still in the process of making shabtis, but that'll probably be another while.

Back from Delay

Hey, sorry you guys that I haven't been on for a while; a long while! Anyways, I've gotten quite a bit done, so I'll just post the pictures and tell you;)
