Description
This is a dedi for my friend Leon - I know how you love Egyptian history and mythology, so this one's for you my friend.
Hi Guys! I have been thinking about creating Bast the Egyptian cat goddess, and how I see her for a very long time, and am so pleased to finally present her to you. The cat I used was my Mistapus, only hope he doesn't find out he has now become a goddess LOL. The body is one from the alfheim set by folkvangar, credits below.
Bast the sacred Egptian cat goddess, is often seen carrying the Sistrum (the sacred musical intrument) and that is what you see in her right hand. I just wanted you all to know I made this one with bits and bobs, and am really pleased with how it turned out.
For more information regarding Bast here are a couple of sites for you -

I would like to thank you Veronica for the inspiration in all the clothes I created for Bast, using your HPclothes and also alfeim clothes, but putting my own twist on them all, hope you like what I did. (Veronica's website and store (www.folkvangar.com)
Thank you everyone for the support of The Cheshire Cat and Alice, it is so appreciated. I am uploading over the next few weeks more pics of Bast and the first is soon as she appears as a spirit - the pic includes a wizard painted from a stock photo, and Amy cat too, so hope you will enjoy that.
Take good care of yourselves everyone hugs Jane xx
