Abdullah Yusuf's thoughts on the art of calligraphy.

 

 

 

"It 's such a meticulous job, you have to pay close attention to it, because if you mess it up there' s a big deal, you can start over."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"One would think how simple it is, though not.

This is not a simple stunt."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"But the end result
is very nice."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"When you see the letters take shape,

the more beautiful it is."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Design with Persian reeds.

 

The last touches:

 

And the end result:

 

 

 

"This is just a draft.
The customer will tell if he like it.
Then I'll make a neat background."

"Design making
with turkey feathers."

The background is ready.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The end result:

Beautiful calligraphy in Thugra style, step by step pictures from the first design to the ready calligraphy art.

The happy owner.
