    Egyptian Eye - A Hieroglyph

This painting is an Egyptian Eye. Not only is it an eye, but it is also a hieroglyph. Hieroglyphs are the way ancient Egyptians used to tell things. Each picture stands for something. The hieroglyph pictures are much more than alphabets and words. To make this hieroglyph, I first looked at the original picture and drew it on a paper. Next, I took some tea and rubbed it on the paper to make it look old and ancient. If there was any excess tea, I would rub it a few times so that it be absorbed into the paper. Finally, I painted it with water colors using a brush.

So, what do you think ?
