For The Global Strike, I Painted A Scene From Pre-Nakba Palestine With The Colors Of The Palestinian

a digital painting of a landscape scene from Palestine. in the foreground is a tree with a dark brown trunk and red leaves, casting dappled shadows on the green grass below it. to the right of the tree, a Palestinian man is reclining on the grass, wearing a white shemagh held in place by an agal; a brown jacket over a light gray shirt, and loose-fitting gray pants. the rest of the foreground is made up of green grass, accented with some light gray rocks. in the background is a sloped grassy landscape dotted with trees and buildings, which leads up to the city of Bethlehem in the distance. the background is mostly painted in shades of pale green for the grass and white and gray for the buildings. Bethlehem is mostly composed of rectangular buildings stacked upon each other, lined by trees, with a tower rising up in the distance. the sky is painted a dark gray at the top which transitions into a light gray as it reaches the horizon line, with white clouds floating in the darker gray portion. the general color composition of the piece loosely follows the colors of the Palestinian flag.

for the global strike, I painted a scene from pre-Nakba Palestine with the colors of the Palestinian flag. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

here is the reference photo I used, which I downloaded from the Palestine Photo Project. it is a view of Bethlehem in 1945.

a black and white photograph of a landscape scene from Palestine, showing a view of Bethlehem from the south. in the foreground is a tree casting dappled shadows on the grass below it. to the right of the tree, a Palestinian man is reclining on the grass, wearing a shemagh held in place by an agal; a jacket over a light-colored shirt, and loose-fitting pants. the rest of the foreground is made up of grass, accented with some rocks below the tree. in the background is a sloped grassy landscape dotted with trees and buildings, which leads up to the city of Bethlehem in the distance. Bethlehem is mostly composed of rectangular buildings lined by trees, with a tower rising up in the distance. the sky is bright and evidently sunny, with clouds floating through it. the photo has an uneven black outline around it, with a word written in the bottom left.

The best chocolate chip cookies (probably ever)

🍪 Its quite the claim to make, I know, but these cookies are so yummy and I’ve done them many times with great success. If you’re really feeling creative, last Halloween instead of using chocolate chips I used chopped up Halloween candy (smarties, MnMs, Reese’s, Aero, ect) and it was AWESOME! But can’t beat a classic, right?

🍪 Ingredients:

1 cup butter (melt it and let it cool for ~10 minutes)

1¼ cup brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 egg (room temperature)

1½ tsp vanilla extract

2¾ cup flour

2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp baking soda

¾ tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chips (or more, if you want)

🍪 How to make it:

Combine butter, brown sugar and white sugar in a bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.

Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet, and make sure all flour is mixed in.

Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (longer is fine)

Scoop cookie dough into balls, adding chocolate chips, and place onto lined baking sheet.

Space cookies about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

Bake at 350⁰ for 11 minutes.

You will likely have to do multiple pans because of the required spacing, but ensure the cookies can cook for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

🍪 Notes:

When the 11 minutes is up, they look soft. Like REALLY soft. But believe me, that’s correct. Just don’t handle them before the 10 minutes is up, because they might melt on the cooling rack or in your hands. They stay soft for a few days, but only if they don’t get eaten first. Happy Baking!

16 Frame Shooting Star Animation. January 2022-September 2024 Needlepoint

16 frame shooting star animation. January 2022-September 2024 Needlepoint

Frames from my shooting star gif. 16 frames total. Each frame is 8x6.5 inches on a 10” mesh. Designed and animated in photoshop and needlepointed by me. I started drafting this 1/14/22 and finished animating it 9/25/24. It took approximately two years and eight months to finish. This is one of the largest projects I’ve ever worked on and I’m very happy with how it turned out.
