I'm sure, pretty much anyone can guess my inspiration this week...
Yessss!, my collage this week is dedicated to the moon 🌝 and for our Muslim folks, Eid Al Fitr.
Now after looking at the main picture..
It took a lot of thinking, and imagination on my part, to turn that, into this...
Yeah, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out considering the limited materials used 😂.
At first I was a bit stuck on how to make day into night...
Then I came across an idea and first put the night as the background.
Then I remove the background of the original picture, giving me something like this;
As that was done, putting the other elements was a cinch 😃.
About Eid Al Fitr
I have a Muslim friend who's pretty close to me, so I was always a bit more than knowledgeable about the Islam religion.
Eid Al Fitr is the first of the two main festivals of Islam, it literally means the festival of breaking fast. This festival marks the end of Ramadan, which is the holy month of fasting and it's known for having being celebrated for 3 days.
That's 3 days of eating, visiting friends and family and making merry 😃.
I guess the one thing of major importance considering my collage is how the festival begins.
It being based on a lunar calendar, the Ramadan end of fasting festival can't begin unless the new moon is seen.
So I thought; Hence, why not give them a moon 🌙😂😂.
With that thought in mind, I began thinking of how the festival is actually announced.
Who exactly has to see the moon, then announce it for the world to begin celebrations.
After wracking my brain on it for a while...
I gave up😂😂. (maybe my Muslim friend on hive @ahmadmanga can help me answer it?)
I decided to put it in the point of view of an Islam wanderer, taking a bath before prayers and happens to see the moon and some fireworks from other Muslims celebrating it 🎉.
I added the whale and horse there as an Islam symbolic animal and plus the horse is this wanderers transport.
- I brought the moon, fireworks, clouds and man from free resources on Canva.

Should be noted that the collage was being updated as I was writing about it😂
First began like that...
Then decided since the moon had to be somewhat found, there should be some clouds, right?😃
And then since it's meant to be a celebration 🎉, why not some spiffy fireworks 🌙✨.
