soft pastel

one of my first "color/ texture" trials with oil pastel

This is by soft pastel , also a try to feel the colors texture on paper, for some reason I find a great joy with messing up my fingers with colors :p

Oil pastels are easier to handle, soft are very tricky and messy! yet more enjoyable and their colors are paler .. still trying them out to know what can I do with them ..

A new story by me, Yay or Nay?

Think out of the box

Once in a world out there, very far from ours yet merely similar. He was a Partunot a creature that looked very much like a human being except for his noticeably short hands, Relock was a very smart Partunot, he is active and almost knows every thing, eager to science and knowledge. Even among the Partunots he was a simple person, not too known nor unknown, similarly not too rich nor too poor. He believed in him self and his mind, books were his closest friends as he closed up on the other Patrunots and thought that little of them understood him, mostly elder Patrunots were more attracting to him.

Once Relock was walking around the magical garden of Partunotia, where greenness grasped the essence of life, everything around was happy and living simple, accompanied by a book he decided to rest. After an hour or two an olt Patrunot passes by…

Old Patrunot: You! *with a grumpy face*
What are you doing?

Relock: Reading!
Old Patrunot: I know and I know you Relock son of Hardem! I’m asking you what are you doing with this book?

Relock: I’m reading it? *in a sarcastic way*

Old Patrunot: You will never think out of the box!

Relock: Mister, I do not know who are you? Nor understand why are you so angry and aggressive?!

Old Patrunot: I am Persum, the one you hold a book for!

Relock: YOU! I read all your books and loved yo…

As Relock stood up Persum told him to stop talking!

Persum: Young Relock, you are living in your world, and know very well and much of the world outside your house, I am aware of that, but you still did not know this world well and the books will not lead you to experience, getting out of your box will!

Relock was silent and did not know how to reply to old Persum. Eventually he left Relock puzzled. Relock kept looking at the old Partunot called Persum whith a lot of questions….

Why me?
Why does he think that he knows me?
Does he think I cannot understand our world with knowledge?

...

١- ارشيف ايدب لشهر سبتمبر، لمن يريد تحسين عربيته، زي حلاتي. و المدونة بشكل عام بغنى عن مدحي لكنها جميلة و تنوع المواضيع فيها + يجسد المدون ايدب مقولة : خير الكلام ما قل و دل، كثيراً و هم من أهم اسباب عودتي لتلك المدونة بإستمرار

٢- المصفاة الرابعة و الهوس حولها، السالفة بإختصار انها شي الكويت بأمس الحاجه له لكن كالعادة! يقوم صراع منو ياخذ اكبر قطعة من هالكيكة؟ و البلبلة الاعلامية الغير منظمة تشابه الأصوات في الشارع اللي يكون في الافلام المصرية "مع رنة الهرن اللي ماكو غيرها بافلام ال٨٠ و بداية ال٩٠" اهي مابين خوف على المصلحة العامة و مابين منو بياكل شكثر، الضايعين احنا كشعب بوسط التأكيد و التنديد و هذا قال و ذاك قالو و نبي ديوان المحاسبة يصير قاضي!؟

اللي اعرفه، ربع تعاونوا ما ذلوا، و ما اشوف اي تعاون بين الاعضاء الموقرين بمجلس "أمتنا" التي انعكس اهتمامها بالكويت على نوابها و تصرفاتهم، التغيير لازم احنا نبلش فيه، بانفسنا

٣- أمن الدولة: ما ودي الا اني اقول لمن خان الأمانه! ليش؟ انت أهلك ما ربوك ولا انت ما فاد فيك تربيتهم؟ كل هذا علشان الفلوس؟ اخيه يا رخصك

5- Crafts, say hello to my cloud :D

اختي مسميتها الغيمة العيمية :> و انا اسميها غيمتي لانها غيمتي

6- Limitation: I found out that in Ramadan my mood is pretty much the same BUT I have a limited number of words and mental activity, anything beyond that limit makes no sense and I truly wish that the people around me would go inside my brain and understand what I'm saying without making me do the effort of thinking then talking.

فيونكاتي

From here and there - special edition: with pictures -

7.6.2008
I said goodbye to my SinarLine short-hand spiral note pad [can you believe how long this tiny thing's name is?] and hello to my moleskine, I think the only thing the moleskine lacks is a space for a tiny pen! in my tiny spiral note above I used to clip the pen to the spiral thing above now the pen has to be free in the bag which makes me affraid that it will ruin its interior. Never the less with that or this note I can not use my pencil, since it means i have to carry also a rubber and the fact that pencils dont have a lid makes is more dangerous on the bag's interior :}

I still prefer to write the things I want to do/ know/ work on/ the to do list, by hand, the use of the mobile is not very appealing :)


I kept this plastic bag [that was given to me along with a gift in it] just to make me laugh :D the name is hillarious, Egyptians never fail to make me laugh :>



By me @ macaroni's grill, I'm becomming too predictable to people around me, when I held the crayons my sisters told me you will draw a tulip lol !! but for the record I drew my name also next to it :D in a whirly way.



A new mococan restaurant that I passed by a few days ago its located in this new complex that I dont know the name of but its right opposite to the ice skating rink, it has an amazing view where you can see Kuwait city from above from 360 degrees, you can walk along the circle where they have the seating in and chose ur best spot, the food review will follow in a few days :D or weeks in my case!

N.B.: The post was boosted by a comment from Shurouq :D and for the record I love yahoo! Answers, it made me know what N.B. means.

Coffee break, pen and a tissue!

Some saw it as scary, others thought its an alien lol

the truth is that I was tying to draw with my mind! first I thought I was drawing a flower, then the lines kept coming & it came to the point where it became a woman :D or a female-ish something, at least this is how I feel it :D
