The Egyptian Eye Throw is a pattern from my second book, Gallery. This book is based on iconic paintings by the greatest masters of time, including Gustav Klimt’s portrait of Adele - which this pattern is based on. The book is retiring soon; therefore, the patterns are also available individually as a download.
