Temporary Tattoo

A while ago, I saw a video on youtube where a girl used special "temporary tattoo ink pen" to draw a feather on her arm.
The tattoo looked really good, and I wanted to try it myself, but I didn't have those special pens..

Now you might wonder.. why not getting a permanent needle tattoo...
Well.. as much as I'm fascinated by tattoos, I wouldn't want to have a tattoo on my wrinkled skin when I get old..
In addition, there's this idea in my head, that I don't wanna mess up what God has perfectly created..

Still, I like having a temporary tattoo every once in a while.

So what I did is that I took a waterproof eyeliner (the liquid-y gel kind of eyeliner),

and I grabbed  another brush that is a bit easier to draw with.

(not every eyeliner brush is easy to use.. actually, most of them are hard to control.... 

L'Oréal's eyeliner would be a great choice, the one that looks like a marker.. well, the brush is fantastic, but the one I have is not waterproof, so I got my self a nice brush, and dipped it in the eyeliner I have).

And then I just drew a feather...
As someone who just got accepted into arts academy, It shouldn't be so hard.. right?

I think I actually did a good job.
If I had better materials, it could've turn out even better, but.. oh well..

Khalil playing Qanoun

Qanoun, is one of, if not the most, beautiful Middle Eastern string instrument.

The Qanoun is played according to something called Maqam.


In the following video, a very talented friend of mine plays a freestyle on the Qanoun on a Maqam called "Rahat al Arwah" which means "The relief of souls".




I will leave you with the video of the amazing Khalil Khoury..
