This week I have been working on Habbet Binn / Coffee Bean | حبة بن from Gaza and Jaffa (maybe). I'm using brown thread. I got the pattern from this amazing resource:

I'm learning the basics from the Tatreez & Chai classes organized by CPSA London:

@Haneenalbrqouni and I are working on a design that I will embroider for her fundraiser.

Here is my tatreez progress, I finally finished a piece. This is basically the Bateekh / Watermelon / بطيخ motif but I only used two colours because I'm a beginner.

I am participating in Tatreez and Chai workshops, part of the Threads of Diaspora project organized by CPSA London. Their project is going to be beautiful.

A recently completed commission for a journal with the theme of neutrality. The page count was higher on this one than I usually do so I made it as a hollow back to allow the pages to drape more nicely.

This is the cabinet that I've been working on since May. I still have a few tweaks to make, but it was finished enough to get some Glamour Shots taken.

As soon as I started learning woodworking, I knew that I wanted to do a marquetry pangolin, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
