Just before the holidays...and working (again)

Sun Jun 7, 2009, 10:17 PM
  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Old stereophonics, Jack Johnson
  • Reading: Catalogues of Quinze and Milan
  • Watching: Carnivale replays
  • Playing: nothing
  • Eating: salads and strawberries
  • Drinking: water and wine (almost biblical ^^)
They call them dog days, those days when the weather is between raining and soggy warm. Only...right now it seems like we're living cold dog days in june.
I'm about 14 days back from the baltic states of Estonia and Latvania. Even more cold there.
Not much to do over there, except looking for rundown old wooden houses and going from one teahouse to another. Having long boring afternoon sleeps in inpersonal hotelrooms.
Going through tourist-vouchers to check out if there isn't any cool gig somewhere. Getting anoyed by the lack of food quality. Getting partially racist because of the Russian drunks and bums in the streets. Anyhow, my wife and me survived but it wasn't the trip to do.
Next time better.
One advice: modern art museum KUMU in Tallinn. That rocked...:headbang:

Hi there, I am looking for a good calligrapher who can translate the saying "All that lives, must change" into a classic arabic text, in kointé. The idea is to have the text written in a circle, following the contour(outside) of the circle, having the top off the "gharf" going to the centre of the circle.
I added some examples which I found on the net, a embroidering of the Ka'aba, someting on the wall of a mosque...I'm not religious, but I admire the beauty of arabic letters because latin writing doesn't have this wavy, curly style and we write from left to right!
This is the first link to a very beutiful calligraphic image:
[link];prev=/images%3Fq%3Darabic%2Bcircle%2Bcalligraphy%26start%3D126%26ndsp%3D18%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dnl%26sa%3DN
It's a lot-sorry- just copy-paste in your url-line and enter...
Second:
[link];prev=/images%3Fq%3Darabic%2Bcircle%2Bcalligraphy%26start%3D252%26ndsp%3D18%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dnl%26sa%3DN
It's halfway the page when you scrolldown, it's a covering of the ka'aba...
You want to give it a go? Let me know..If the thing pleases me (I plan to have it tattood on my shoulders)
we can make it an official assignment, commission for pay?

It's not translated yet...you'll have to translate it yourself into kointe (classic arabic as used by the imam)
The phrase is: "All that lives, must change".
About ten years ago, I took a 1 year course to learn classic arabic, which I didn't complete. My teacher translated it then (phonetically) as: yajiboe taghyiiroe kolloe chaï'in hayin, but I don't know if that's correct.
Anyhow, thanks for trying!

what d u mean by "that lives" is it an object or a living thing i.e human, animals.....
coz "chai'in" in Arabic means non living objects
