Goddesses

I am all that is, was or ever will be.
~Words of Isis inscribed on the Temple at Sais, Egypt

The only thing I know about these pieces is that they are all said to feature goddesses. I don't know what their abilities/personalities are, but still, they are a sight to behold.

    Amazing depictions of the faces, respect, awe, beauty, fright. I like that wrathful one and the details of the make-up of numbers two & seven are amazing. Thanks, Tabatha.

    Good subject...and you really don't have to know what they "specialize" in to know they're powerful!

    And the wrathful one I would definitely stay away from.
