The Whirling Dervish

[SMK]

This is done on watercolor paper stained with coffee. Inks used are Lamy black and Sheaffer Skrip red.

This is a depiction of a whirling dervish (sufi mystic) made out of the word 'Al Tawafuq' which means coincidences.

Thanks Dan and fountainpenkid.

Dan - I haven't been around here for a long long time. I'll try and be more regular and will start with posting something I made for a friend some time ago.

Very nice! I think I have seen your work somewhere else. FPN maybe?

[etoyoc]

wonderful!

[SMK]

KrazyIvan, yes, I have been active on FPN for some time now. Although not as active as FPN, wetcanvas.com also has a nice Calligraphy section.

etoyoc - thanks for the message. I still get compliments on this piece on my blog even though its been a while since I put it up.
