It all began eight years ago with a drawing I did:


Enduring Strength
I based it on the personified Djed pillar in Nefertari's tomb:


Best example: Kairoinfo4u


Process detail showing break in stitch direction at the center

I have the pattern and instructions, should you wish to attempt a version of your own!

Three years from when I did these versions, I had another go at this theme.
I did this one in cross stitch tapestry, rather than needlepoint. Also, with this one, I've attempted to use abstract elements to convey 'stability'. We have a strongly weighted base, for instance:


Roughly 7x10 inches, not including hem.
