Now
I'm on a jewelry kick thanks to my sis so today I thought I would make an
Egyptian Ankh necklace. It is much simpler than the tiki so I'll also make an
Egyptian eye. So, I start by cutting the pieces into squares and drawing a grid
of 1cm by 1cm. In doing so you can make the design more even. the implement of
choice for making these more dainty cuts is the scroll saw and so that you
don't cut fingers off, you should use a push stick. A push stick is literally
just a long piece of wood that you use to push the wood through the saw. After
that is done I'll sand it round and then paint it gold followed by a oil base
glaze for the Ankh and I'll stain the eye a deep red color.
