One of my friends used this Arabic Kufic script (the oldest form of Arabic Calligraphy) for one of her pieces, I always loved the way it looks so I tried my own version, I drew the outline in pencil and traced over it. Took this photo with a light behind the tracing paper for the effect.
@Claire Thank you! When I do the outline it's in pencil, looks really rough and then when I'm tracing I try to be neat (trust me they aren't perfect), when I post the full project I will upload the process photos. You can see a larger image here, http://junoondesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Allah_Junoon-Designs.jpg I added it to my sketches and wips collection ;)
