Cracked Wall

2009-10-23T15:10:00.000+04:00

A pencil sketch I made in HighSchool. I'm sure if I re-did it it would turn out better detailed as I wanted a lattuce frame but I liked how the bushes and front plants turned out Masha'Allah. It feels lazy and rustic to me.

Scattered Raindrops

2009-10-23T14:56:00.001+04:00

Here is a piece of art I made back in HighSchool using Oil Pastels. I would have prefered the red and blue background blend better together but it still turned out pretty nice. The raindrops I decided should be going different direction to make it look more busy and confusing. Masha'Allah I love the way Oil Pastel colors are so brilliant.

Fancy Red Gold White Jalabiya

2009-04-05T03:29:00.002+04:00

Masha'Allah isn't this design jsut so elegant and classy. Talented Ange on Hegab-Rehab made this set. The shoes are just awesome with the dress. I might add a cloth style purse and a gold or white jewel to the red hijab. Thanks Ange for letting me feature this!

Shape of Raindrop

2009-04-02T02:25:00.003+04:00

It is not perfectly round as it falls. Even a short distance it makes the classic raindrop look. Rounded bottom, pointy top. Reflecting the world inside. Can there be something so fascinating besides water and how it moves? It's the stuff poems are made of. I can hardly describe the feelings I get looking at this wondrous creation of Allah. La illaha illallah!

The SUN

2009-04-02T02:09:00.003+04:00

One of the most important things that we take for granted every day is our source of warmth and light. It also is a source of other things like gravity, seasons, etc... but it is there for us everyday and it will be until the end of time. Just imagine that close to the last day the sun will rise from the West. Can you imagine how fearful and awe inspiring that would be! Everytime I see the sun set I try to imagine how I would feel to see it rise up again from where it just set. Allahu Akbar! What I love about this picture above is that Sun Flair is so HUGE. Sometimes while going about our day we forget how HUGE and HOT that sun is. Those that live in Tropic regions feel it more but I think those that live in cold regions appreciate it more. To thaw the snow and their moods. Can you clearly see how easy EASY it would be for us to be crushed by the power of the sun yet every moment of every day Allah keeps it in check. How easy it is for Him too! One who worships the sun should think hard about Who keeps that sun in check.

Look even harder at that little earth. One human (you) is not even an ink dot on that picture.

Makes you appreciate the big picture doesn't it? The Sun, such Beauty.

Pearly Ring

2009-04-02T01:59:00.003+04:00

The grace and elegance of Pearls cannot be denied. A beautiful way to display one is to admire it in it's singular form. A ring provides this as a center setting. Pearls come in different colors but for rings the classics are the Black Pearl or the White Pearl. Pearls go well with any skin tone and are more eye catching than regular jeweled rings. The only downside I can see to a Pearl ring is it must get scratched or dirtied often and in need of cleaning. But to wear it now and then I'm sure would be wonderful. Pearls are one of the strangest made items that we wear as jewelry. Most jewels come from rocks but Pearls come from Oysters in the sea. A true gift from Allah.

Blue Butterfly

2009-04-02T01:49:00.004+04:00

Here are two pictures of my favorite color of Butterfly. Blue Morpho. The versatility of different patterns in remarkable! Look at these two beautiful examples. The first is set against red flowers naturally offsetting it's beauty. It has a large area of blue with those cute white spots just on the upper edge. The second is from Scotland and has an amazing array of blues. Light blue to turquoise blue and dark blue on the inner wing. White spots dot the entire length. The best part is the black lines striping it so perfectly. Unlike the first one which looks more veiny this one looks like it was painted on by hand. Straight even rows. SubhanAllah!

Red, White, Grey Room

2009-04-01T22:12:00.003+04:00

I could look at this room all day. I could LIVE in this room all day! Which is why I chose it as the top of my Blog Photo and the first thing to admire!

Isn't that triangular shelf interesting! I'd put a red triangle candle on the top.

What is with the magazine on the floor though? I don't like that part of it.

I'd also place something red on that back right table. Perhaps a thin tall red vase with large white flowers.

Enjoy!

Welcome

Allah has created Beauty for us to reflect about the Creator.
I would like to post a few things now and then that I find beautiful because Allah allowed it to be created.
