The Evil Eye

I have been reading the book "The history and use of amulets, charms and talismans" and found out more about 'The Evil Eye' which is when someone who is filled with envy infects, by a glance or by words of praise, someone of a young age. Ancient Egyptians believes that to protect children, they must wear "the Eye of Horus". So I then had the idea to draw this symbol within a silhouette of a child to represent protection from the 'evil eye' .
