Where we were in February...
Where we were in March...
And I'm about to get distracted again, but before I do, I did get the upper right hand corner done:

Progress on Ma'at Tapestry
5:28pm
I promised that next would be the upper right hand corner (unless I got distracted by another project first...)
Well, I got distracted!
After the "distraction", I hope to get the rest of the right hand side done (Ma'at's LEFT hand side!)
One More Ankh!
2:32pm
We were here, starting upper right and going counterclockwise:
"Fire, Water, Air, Earth"
Julia suggested I do the fifth element, "Spirit", and make it white...
My mental gears got going, I couldn't resist.
And so here is today's progress report. I may end up liking this one best of all!
I'm having a silver (stainless steel) ankh pendant made via Shapeways for it....
I made various grayscale tests of the green ankh, brightening it up to get a general tonal idea
Progress photo turned grayscale, the gold is darker than example, but this helps the ankh to read as "white"...
Aquamarine, emerald and garnet tones....
This one is not part of the 'Element' series.
I did download the file the Shapeways 2D to 3D program created, but it doesn't seem to be of a format the other 3D printers use. Perhaps there's a way to convert it, so I won't lose all hope. Meanwhile, I'll have the other ankhs.

Progress with Aquamarine and Garnet Ankh
12:33pm
It's ready to come off the hoop and get its border...
But the other day I had a happy surprise when neatening a storage area. I found another of the ankhs I designed and had made up via Shapeways. It is brass, a little larger than the size of the earlier four, but the same design! I wasted no time in trading out the replacement ankh on the 'Spirit' tapestry.
