Day 18: Painted Jewelry Box Lid

I mentioned a few days ago that I was working on sketches for an idea I had. This is the final sketch I finished today:

Meant to be a stylized lotus with (granted, simplistic) calligraphy of the Name of Allah in the center. I have had another idea to try to do this in beading as a gift for my Shaykh’s wife.

The initial idea (and day 18 “thing”) was to paint the lid of this wonderful box I have that I use to keep my earrings in. This is the finished painting:

Although I’m sorta partial to the (inaccurate) colors portrayed in this photo which darkened it up a bit. :)
