Queen concert in my head. A completely different playlist on my little radio.😅

I can’t be only one who sees something hidden in this old piece of glass!☺️💙

It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to spend time in my own workshop.
A little stained glass, a little bookbinding… and now it’s time to return to where it all began.
Back where we left off.
The parchment frames are going up again, the tools are back in my hands, and the workshop is coming back to life.🌸🌿

I had an unforgettable experience at Derek Hunt’s stained glass painting workshop in the beautiful setting of Ely Cathedral. Working with Derek in such a magical place was a real privilege.
I first began this journey by watching his YouTube videos, so being able to learn from him in person, explore the techniques in greater depth, and finally meet him was incredibly inspiring.
And now, my Şahmaran is ready to take its place in my panel. 💙
A heartfelt thank you to Derek for sharing his knowledge and experience so generously, for his kindness, and for all the inspiration he gave us throughout the day.
Sometimes, sitting beside a master and learning directly from them brings months of watching videos and practising on your own into a whole new perspective. Today was exactly one of those days for me.💙🌸🌿

Tevhid

This work is inspired by Tawhid, the oneness of God, which is the essence of Islam.
In the centre of the composition, the Kaaba represents unity and direction. Around it, the word “Allah” is repeated in Kufic calligraphy, showing all existence turning towards one truth.
The circular form reminds us of tawaf and the order of the universe. The repetition of one sacred name shows unity in many forms and brings the viewer back to the centre.
Earth colours and gold details show the connection between the material world and the divine. Tevhid is a silent call to the one centre where all directions meet.
This piece is part of the Portrait of Sacred Beauty exhibition at Yunus Emre Enstitüsü - London, curated by Nagihan Seymour, celebrating the 1500th year since the birth of the Prophet Muhammad .
Deer-skin parchment, handmade carrot papyrus, watercolour and gold details.
Size: 47 x 37 cm

My heart is full of happiness today.🥰🙏🏻
These precious books coming from Japan are not only books for me. They are very special works that witness our friendship.🥰
Once again I understand that even if parchment looks like the thing that connects us, there is something deeper than that: an invisible friendship bond, always felt despite the distance.💙

Thank you, dear Kenji, for always lighting my way.✨🙏🏻🌸🌿

This book is inspired by medieval bookbinding.
People used to carry these books from their belt, close to the body.
I made it with red leather and black ties, and the pages inside are parchment.
I love how it looks like a small object from the past, but still alive today.💙🌸🌿
