Early Tezhip practice by Sidra Shahin

Really interesting and very good

I like this, colours and design.

Lovely design and meticulously done Sidra

An unusual, striking design with a lovely choice of colour Sudra.

Sorry, should be ‘Sidra’.

Lovely colours Sidra. We never stop learning….

Thank you so much, Heather! 🙏 Knowing that this traditional art catches your interest means a lot to me. Every encouragement keeps me going. ✨

Thank you, Jenny! 🌸 I spent a lot of time thinking about the color harmony for this design, so I am truly happy that you like it. Your kind words are a beautiful motivation. 🎨

Thank you very much, Russell. 🙏 "Meticulous" is exactly the right word for Tazhip – it requires an incredible amount of patience and a very steady brush. I really appreciate you noticing the effort! 🖌️📜

Thank you so much, Carole! ❤️ And please, don't worry at all about the name – I really appreciate your kindness! I am so glad you find the traditional design and colors striking. 🌸✨

Thank you, Marjorie! 🌸 Your words are so true as we never stop learning. I feel like every single day spent with the brush teaches me something new and deeper about this craft. 🙏📜

Beautiful work. Reminds me of semi precious stone work in Islamic architecture.

Thank you so much Romila!🌸Your comparison to precious stones really sparks the imagination.You are totally right,when looking at works that are centuries old they truly feel like visual jewels reflecting the brilliance of the written words.Hearing that you see that connection in my work honestly means a lot to me!🙏✨
