I got inspired for another image of Hathor, after declaring in a forum "There can never be too many images of Hathor!"
I looked to a piece I did five years ago for inspiration:
It is a print colored with pencils, scanned and digitally adjusted

So I enlarged the face of that piece's linear version to use behind a needlepoint grid planner:
I have a cute 6 inch wide hanger for it....
Looking at the original plan, we can see Hathor was slated to have "bug-eyes" and a ribbon that wouldn't have looked right.
Fortunately, I was able to give her decent looking eyes and a more gracefully hanging ribbon that matches the curves in her wig.
