Earlier today, the pulled thread class at Ruth Schmuff's shop with an Egyptian theme got me off on a tangent. I had a lot of fun looking for painted canvases with Egypt-inspired themes. I also found this article (with two videos) on how to stitch Cleopatra's hair from Susan Roberts. It covers everything from possible threads, how to braid the wig, and even ways to create the hair ornaments.
