Two candles

candles091203

These candles were for my wife's birthday cake but they actually were somewhat training materials for my son to practice blowing out candles on his coming 2nd birthday. The result? Yes, he successfully blew out though he couldn't at the exercise. I sketched this on the 3rd of December, 2009, my wife's birthday.

My wife used to use this long before. She removed the strap and kept this for painting something with a branding iron. I sketched this on the 14th of January, 2009.

Glass sugar pot

I often sketch something I found in my everyday life such as this sugar pot on the table. I feel happy when I find quite interesting points in such subjects—lights, shadows and metallic shines of the pot in this case. Even a worm will turn. Sketched on the 5th of March, 2009.

Small leather bag

trunk091003

Guess how big this bag is. The longest side of this trunk-shaped bag is around 30 cm long. My wife used this as a CD container before but my son likes this as his favorite toy now. Sketched on the 3rd of October, 2009.

A book about Arabic calligraphy

khat090820

This is a book about Arabic calligraphy titled "روح الخط العربي (the Spirit of Arabic Calligraphy)" written by a Lebanese calligrapher named Kamil Al-Baba (كامل البابا). The calligraphy work on the cover says "علم بالقلم (Learn with the pen)". So symbolic. I love Arabic calligraphy. Sketched this on the 20th of August, 2009.

Soap from Aleppo

This is a piece of soaps I bought in Aleppo. Aleppo Soap must have the longest history in the world's soap—the same recipe was found in clay tablets in Sumer period! Sketched it on the 17th of August, 2009.

Mirror

mirror090813

This is a room mirror in the hotel room at Damascus. The frame of this mirror was Ottoman empire styled decoration. I sketched it sitting on a bed so the position of the mirror was a little higher. That's why you cannot find me in the mirror. Sketched on the 13th of August, 2009.
