My linocut stamp and relief print work reflect my faith, culture, and passion for sustainability and supporting small businesses. I truly hope my art, which blends the identities of culture and Islam, provoke curiosity, meaningful thought, and joy. Linocut art prints, custom stamps, greeting cards—all handmade and hand printed—can be found in my online shop! ✄ Supplies ✄ Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Inks 🔗 https://bit.ly/4vW6It9 Woodzilla Printing Press 🔗 https://bit.ly/3QQ7yJ8 Speedball Carving Tools 🔗 https://bit.ly/4xF7RHp ❕P.S. I have no clue why the “music” flagged in this video has Easter in the description. I just want to kindly clarify Muslims do not celebrate Easter. Its premise is not in Islam. 📖 Quran, Chapter 18, Al-Kahf (The Cave) Translation: The Clear Quran https://quran.com 🎙️ Reciter: Muhammad Siddiq Al Minshawi ✍︎ Summary ✍︎ In the video, I'm sharing a deep look into the inspiration behind Salaam Stamps and the reality of running a creative business as a new mother to a toddler. Blending Cultures: My art is a bridge between my Mexican-American background and journey as a convert to Islam. I want to create representation for other Latina converts, showing that "Islam beautifies culture" rather than replacing it. The Printmaking Process: Introducing your new Woodzilla printing press, which has been a major workflow improvement, I walk viewers through mixing a pink ink (specifically Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash inks) for a new "Feliz Eid" greeting card. The "Mom-Creator" Reality: Candidly, I show the challenges of balancing a production session with motherhood—from the anxiety of ink drying between diaper changes and feeding time, to finding ways to safely keep the baby entertained while you work. Faith and Productivity: I conclude with a beautiful reflection on making dua for your business and remembering that any milestone reached is by Allah's will. I mention a weekly halaqa and the lessons from Surah Al-Kahf about gratitude and humility.
