cross stitch design

Eye of Horus
original cross-stitch design

ancient Egyptian symbol 
of health and wholeness

This pattern is 292 x 187 stitches, which is roughly 
13.3 x 8.5 inches on 22.0 holes per inch.

The Eye of Horus pattern is quite large (which is why the cross stitches don't show in the image above - it would take forever to load!  But here is a little piece of it, to give you a better idea of the pattern.

how many strands to use, etc.  If you can't get the same brand or exactly the same colors, just try using something similar. The thread guide can help you choose appropriate colors. I used a tan aida cloth to make it look a bit like a papyrus scroll, but you might like a different color.
