Ne3mat نعمة is Grace, and a traditional blessing that calligraphers have been playing with on various objects for hundreds of years. I designed this composition (which is frankly illegible because it's so abstract) for my Christmas cards, and then decided it was worth making into a full-size piece. With this piece I can finish my Sacred Words calendar so that'll be up soon :)

| Finished pencils |
 |
| Painting the intersections first (bottom right is still wet!) |
 |
| Finished watercolors |

| Last comes the outline work, in gold, before the dots are gilded. |
