You're Missing Out IF You're NOT following me on FACEBOOK.

So I've been a bit lazy with blogging recently, due to some orders and trying to maintain my facebook page.  But basically everything I do and find in regards to Turkish Needle Lace (Oya) I post there.  I'm very happy to announce that I've hit over 600 likers which is pretty amazing, if I don't say so myself.


So the above photo is of a recent order that this lovely lady placed.  She asked for a "hibiscus flower brooch" so heres my adaptation.  She was so pleased with the final result that she asked for another!

I've learnt alot about oya since I got back from Turkey, and since we brought my partners mother back from Turkey with us, not only in technique but history and differences with the lace from region to region.  I even started my own antique oya collection.

I hope you'll all like my page on facebook so you can keep more up-to-date with my oya adventures.

Bits and pieces for the new year!

 I hope everyone had a safe holiday season with lots of good memories!  So heres a few things Ive been working on or doing,  1st we have an oya flower that I made in my spare time out of pure boredom, 2nd we have a new pair of earrings soon to be up on etsy, 3rd we have a scarf I'm in the middle of making, and 4 was just a trial of the cinar yapragi bead oya, which I might add a tutorial for :)

Peace x.

I had some spare time so I made this.

Final Stages of the Baby Order.

Heres the final stages of the baby order.  I still have the Igne Oyasi border on the Bohca to finish (4 more motifs to go I think) and then just the rest of the booties. I'm very happy with the result.
