New Models for Pop-Up Kadıköy

Pin It

I have participated a Pop-Up event last weekend at Kadıköy, İstanbul and enjoyed it a lot!

Before the event, with my usual excitement, I worked non-stop to bring out new models to my customers. Although it was extremely tiring to work 14-15 hours a day, I was only feeling happy after getting so many good reactions and compliments for my creations.

Here are some of these new pendant models and also me that day :)

ONE OF THE ASPECTS OF CREATIVE PRODUCTION: PRESENTATION

Pin It       There are many aspects of production, especially in arts. Presenting what you have made effectively is one of them.

      Making beautiful, meaningful or appealing pieces in every kind of art is important without a doubt. In addition to that, it is also important to show the best view of those pieces, because sight gives the first impression and we know "there is no second chance to make a first impression".

      Even though I am a photographer myself, I take some of the pictures of my blog by my smart-phone. This is mainly because I like Instagram the most, among all other social media. And then I use those pictures in my other accounts.

      Rather than the device I am using, the thing I find important is not to go too far from the original scene. Because if a customer likes an item on my Etsy shop by its picture and then feels disappointment after getting his/her package, I would be really sad. So I use many techniques but still try to keep all the images natural.

      Actually I find it magical because there are numerous angles, or different styles, and each person has a different point of view. So it is very enjoyable to find yours among these countless choices.

What I learned in Norway

Pin It       Moving to another country sounds like a very difficult step to take and it really is! However, if you are a person who likes to experience new things, you can learn a lot from this change. I am quite much of a “notebook” person so I started to write down the new things which I didn’t have any idea of before and made a list. If you are in a similar situation, I highly recommend you to do so. Actually such a list can be made even if you are not moving at all because also in daily life we learn new things continuously. Pleasure of this is to see how wide the scale is. Just as my list:
 

·         Cooking

·         Being patient

·         Growing plants

·         Washing the dishes

·         Cleaning the house

·         Traveling alone

·         Using a drill

·         Making jam

·         Saying “No” when necessary

·         Making dragon style chainmail

·         Lighting a stove

·         Making more crochet and knitting patterns     

·         Using a saw

·         Baking bread at home

·         Walking on ice

·         Creating a blog from the start…

As you can see my list consists of very unrelated topics and seems to grow longer. I am sure you will enjoy the results if you make yours.
