1. Create the Design
First Hatouf must decide on the size of the finished image and sketch out the design to fit these perimeters. The size is limited by the raw silk width, 90-100 cm. Sometimes people send her a piece of fabric on which to create a commissioned painting, requiring that she work within it's perimeters.
If she is recreating an existing design (as with the Turkish miniatures), she enlarges it to her size requirements and plans out her color scheme. When Hatouf creates a design for text from the Holy Qura'n pieces, she contemplates a surah and tries to visualize what people will think and how much they will understand the meaning of what they read.
