DIY canvas art / makeover

Image
  Assalamualaykum everyone! We have been doing some art this week and they were mainly reusing canvases and painting on cardboard.The pictures on the canvases weren't pretty because we drew them when we were very small, so we decided to re - draw over them and turn them into something better! Now, with that being said,let's get started! We made a lot of art using cardboard, the main colour theme was green because it matches our living room. This is the first picture we made together, it was so easy and fast, we simply taped random shapes using duct tape and water colored all the white spaces of the cardboard. Khadijah made this beautiful cardboard canvas, we really love the compound leaves! Hanah made this one, it consists of water colored feathers from our chickens and a pastel watercolor background. She also wrote some attributes that are found in our house. Both of us made this simple art, using a brush we created splatters with different shades of green. For the second art,

Why we make animal plushies......

                                                Assalamualykum everyone! Today's post is a little different from our usual posts. We will be telling you why we make animal plushies without eyes and whether it's permissible in Islam to do so. If you have been thinking we are making complete figures and we are falling into sin please listen to this  short audio clip by Musa Richardson to clear all that. Furthermore, our plushies don't look like REAL animals, they look different comparing animals. Our prophet said : The  most severely punished people  on the Day of Resurrection would be the image-makers.  [Bukhaari and Muslim]                 And we definitely don't want to be one of those people! May Allah protect us from this! Please  read this beneficial post regarding picture makers.
