Cracked Wall



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



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


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


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!
