Oriental hair fork
I love oriental influences on my pieces. It is like traveling to far and magical lands. Like in 1001 night tales or traveling with flying carpet. Turkey is a country east meet west. Although big cities are highly European and modern still you can find traditions and deep culture also very deep folk cultures. Sometimes these traditions are originated to Central Asia, Middle East or even Roman and Ancient Greek traditions. Here is a hair fork inspired by my inspirations in Turkey.

golden non alcholoic coctail
The world is changing and as it changes we have friends and family members with different tastes. Everyday more and more veterinarians and non alcohol drinkers come to our tables. Especially when we are giving a party it is always better to prepare something for everyone. I am not a good cocktail maker, actuality quite new to this. I discover this recipe while i was traveling. I have been to a restaurant and they serve me a cup of water with orange slices inside next to my coffee. I loved the idea and try with my spring water and apple drink.
So this recipe is very simple. All you need a fruit, ı choose berries but you can go for anything. Mineral water and a juice of your choice. Mix your juice and mineral water and add your fruit to decorate. What happens is that by time the fruit also give its taste to the mixture and it is quite enjoyable and refreshing.
Bon appetit:D

We all have white t-shirts. I love them. White looks clean, neat and elegant. But if you wear a white T-shirt only, it looks boring. Sometimes with simple earrings and a necklace we can rock a simple shirt so damn good.
So, recently i am working on these very simple medieval inspired necklaces with gold details to rock simple clothing.
Finally, you need clothes to rock your style right? I love unique T shirts very much. I have looked at etsy to find out what etsy designers offers.
For a humor style Spara Fauri Golden retriever T shirt
Whatever you wear just enjoy your own style and rock it uniquely. We are all gorgeous.

Turquoise hair fork hair comb
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.

Şirince- the cute village in Turkey
If you have ever been to İzmir (Turkey) you might have been to Kuşadası where one of the wonders of the world is located, The temple of Artemis. I will talk about it at another blog-post. But my topic at this blog-post is Şirince. It become extremely popular in recent years. The meaning of Şirince is cute, so it is a cute village. What else, it has local handcrafted shops all over and it is also famous for its wines.There is a church constructed with tiles is located at the village and local houses constructed with traditional regional style.
You can find local herbs for healing, Turkish people loves herbal healing and it is nice to ask sellers what these herbs are good for. There are crafts shops and benches selling handmade items. Oh and food, you can taste local food. I suggest trying Keşkek, barley cooked with chicken or Turkish ravioli with yogurt sauce.

Gemstone hair fork hair combs and bangle
I have new inspirations this year. Wood combinations with gemstones and gold is a new adventure. The rose wood bangle i created has a moon stone on it. It is an amazing stone, shines different when light changes. And it is carved into the wood on a bed of gold leaf. It gives a very chic elegance.
Geometric hair fork /hair comb has an Iranian turquoise. Iranian turquoise is a bit different than common turquoise. It came from deeper in ground.
The pink ivory wood hair fork has a coral fossil on it. It is amazing how is had degrading colors and flower like patter.

Istanbul, inspirations from an exotic wonder
Istanbul is surely one of the most exotic places on this planet. It has everything, Mosques to Churches, modern to ancient...We have made a trip to there last summer and i did not have time to share it but slowly i will.
Here is Galata tower and Bosphorus. It has an amazing view when you go up to the Galata tower. Magical, İt has a round terrace where you can see the view from all angles.
Here there is Sultan Ahmet which gave me some inspiration and my horse hair fork. Honestly, Sultan Ahmet has many wonders but you must wake up early like 5 am or wait the sunset and watch all the magical buildings changes by light.
