In Ancient Egypt, colour was a very important part of the arts and life. There were six basic colours – green, red, white, black, yellow and blue – and each colour symbolized different aspects of the world and life.
There are twelve new shawl patterns in the book – two in each colour.  The book explains the symbolic meaning of each of the colours in ancient Egyptian culture.  And each pattern is inspired by a story from ancient Egyptian mythology and culture.

The book will be published this summer (2012) with Cooperative Press and is now available for preorder.
