Etsy featured artist and wood carving

Yesterday İ was featured on Etsy blog as a featured artist. 
It is very exiting, because finally i have chance to show how i work and the story behind my designs to a large number of people.I hope you can share the excitement with me. Here are some photos from my workshop.

I would like to introduce you to some of my woods as well. Those are natural woods with naturally colored that way. No painting. They are very magical as some of them start their journey gray and change their by time. Such as purple heartwood.

I have been experimenting with stones. I find them magical. When i was living in UK i use to buy Chrystal and stone books and go to the stone shops  to buy stones and speak with the sellers. Then in Turkey i have met experts who had studied stones in the University and travel around the world to search great stones. This stone is bought from expert shop. And the wood is a precious wood use for making jewelry. The story behind this product is just the universe. When ı look at gold leaves and black and blue i see the universe and our world. It is kind of inspired from medieval maps or magical lost maps.

New creations witch wizard academy and brooches

When I was younger i wanted to be a wizard. Then I have learned it was not possible because there was no academy to go. Then I grow up and Harry Potter came up. To tell the truth I was never fan of Harry Potter. I did not read the books and only enjoyed the first movie. My hero wizard is Gandalf as I am a huge fan of Lord of the rings (read all the books of JRR Tolkien). So few days ago I was thinking about what to design for Halloween, I could not come with something new (for me it is not a special day as everyday is Halloween for me). So I started to think about others and started to think about what if there was a Gothic school like only Gothic people could go would not be fun? Well it will be Halloween everyday for sure:D Then I decided to make a school uniform idea for the school and here we are with another version of my witch of hope necklace.
Meet with my little swan and also seahorse brooches. They are also some of my new works.
