eve at dar nur. i wanted mai al-nakib’s ‘hidden light of objects’ to be in there too, since she couldn’t make it

i baked my usual-and i must say quite renowned-chocolate chip cookies. i also made some less unhealthy oatmeal ones. and to counterbalance the diet, noor brought a bushel of red apples (and according to her, it’s what eve would have served)

dar nur before the eves invasion

his hand her hand eve

noor and the apples, one of which we used as a napkin weight

photographing eve. we had a really nice breeze going through the courtyard and into the shop. i love the lighting here

party eve

this one greeted guests at the entrance

back outside, these quirky chairs await

i was so surprised and happy to see charmaine

furry faux fur

soap boxes everywhere except beneath her

a serpent, an apple, eve and what appears to be an adam with his eyes closed to avoid temptation

peekaboo. hiding in a mubkhar by zeri crafts

she loves mother of pearl

hanging from a beautiful chandelier

and flying through too

coffee? tea? me?

low voltage eve

sitting on a bokja chair

swinging from cushion to cushion

she may be an aries, i don’t know

salutations, reemy!

she’s into flutes but she’s not a flautist

she’s up to something

two sisters + two sisters: me, yasmine, noor, and zeina

and a mama (noor and zeina’s)

body parts

9-year-old hadla couldn’t come but she sent this with her mom. she called it ‘mateve’ because it’s a mix between matisse (who incidentally is one of my early inspirations) and eve

wafa and me. wait until you see her lovely photos of my eves! that post coming next

fatima takes such wonderful care of my eves always. she’s taking them to stonehenge next. i can’t wait and they certainly can’t
