As I am looking back at the #DreamsOfAmarna project, planning the eventual book, I am thinking about what changed between when I started and when I got to the end (I think, the end!). One of the things that changed the most was that I didn't use nearly as much goldwork as I expected.
We all think of #AncientEgypt as being a place of gold and glamour, full of wonders of metalworking, epitomised for most of us by the famous death mask of #Tutankhamun. Somehow, that isn't where the #embroidery and #watercolour led me.... Projects, it seems, have a mind of their own....
