Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home
Your house is on fire and your children are gone
All except one, and that's Little Anne
For she has crept under the warming pan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Turkey, when a ladybird lands on children, they sing Uch uch böcegi, annen sana terlik papuch alacak (Fly fly bug, your mother will buy you slippers and shoes).

In Dutch, the ladybird is called lieveheersbeestje, translating to Our Dear Lord's little creature.

In France, ladybirds are considered to be bringers of good weather.

In parts of Northern Europe, tradition says that one's wish is granted if a ladybird lands on oneself (this tradition lives on in North America, where children capture a ladybird, make a wish, and then "blow it away" back home to make the wish come true).

In Italy, it is said by some that if a ladybird flies into one's bedroom, it is considered good luck. In central Europe, a ladybird crawling across a girl's hand is thought to mean she will get married within the year. In some cultures they are referred to as fortune bugs.

ETSY Artist Interview number 4

2011-02-28T11:29:00.000+02:00

Donna Provo Leuck aka leuckit received her Graphic Art Degree from The American Academy of Art in Chicago. In November of 2003, She falls 20 feet from a ladder and breaks every bone in both of her wrists. After two surgeries and much therapy she starts building what she calls "kitchen robots" out of old kitchen items. It helps keep mobility in her hands and wrists.

Me: What are some fun facts about you that may or may not be directly related to your art?

She: I have been creative all my life. I have done all kinds of art. Including watercolors, murals, pastels, jewelry, wood carving, clay, sewing, snow sculpture...I have even taught art to children. My 6th grade teacher told my mom that he had never met anyone with such a huge imagination!

Me: What is the strangest or funniest comment or question you've ever gotten about your work?

She: This is not so much a comment as a request. "Can you make one that looks like my boyfriend?" I have done custom orders but, you have to remember that I am working with metal kitchen items. I can get "likeness" but it won't look exactly like the person!

Me: What is the first thing that usually comes to your mind first thing in the morning?

She: What fun thing can I do today?

Me: What question do you hate being constantly asked about your work?

She: I was told as a child there were no bad questions. I try to remember that and figure out what the person really wants to know! I love talking to people so I don't mind questions.

Me: Name 5 of your favorite ETSY shops

She: RozArt / canoo / retreauxgirl / shopjude I have a lot of favorite shops. Some I admire the artists. Some I covet the goods. Some I find very funny. And, some I have become friends with the shop owners.

ETSY Artist Interview number 3

2011-02-24T11:09:00.001+02:00

YUM YUMMMM YUMMMYYYYY

Stéphanie Kilgast aka petitplat has a slight Art formation and a master degree in architecture. She discovers her passion for miniatures in summer 2007, while she was searching for a new hobby because she was bored (true story).
When She stumbled upon miniatures all her childhood ran back. Indeed as a child, she played a lot with Barbies and made some clay food out of regular sticky clay for them.
Somehow the passion grew bigger and bigger until it got her entire life. It was a struggle to finish her architecture degree but she knew she wanted to work as an artisan.
So this is what she's doing full time. Sculpting miniature versions of food for collectors and as jewelry. Here we gooo tooo Franceeee.....

Me: How do you define success, and what keeps you going?

She: Success is being able to do what you want, when you want and to earn enough money with it to live comfortably.
"living comfortably" in my opinion is being able to pay your loan, to eat and to do some extras, while being able to put some money aside in case of emergency.
My life itself keeps me going, since it's the life I've chosen. I don't need any motivation to work.

Me: If you were to stop making art, what activity would you replace it with?

She: I can't stop making art. I always used my hands to craft, it's part of who I am.
Although I'd like to be involved in amateur dramatics. that would be fun.

Me: When are you most creative and why do you think this is? Early morning - late morning - afternoon -early evening - late evening, Spring - Summer - Winter - Fall

She: It's easier the other way round.
I'm not creative after Christmas and especially not between Xmas and New Year. I'm not creative when I'm sick or tired. And I need vacation once in a while. Other than that I can be creative pretty much at any time or any location. Although I'm more creative in a city than in nature.

Me: When you are bored with yourself and your work in the studio, what do you do to get out of it artwise?

When my work gets on my nerves I read, watch movies, listen and dance to music, sleep, eat or cook, go out for a walk or browse Etsy.

Me: Name 5 of your favorite ETSY shops

She: blockpartypress / JDavisStudio / EightSeasons / vesselsandwares / michellechangjewelry

ETSY Artist Interview number 2

2011-02-21T12:35:00.002+02:00

Hereee weee go to Athens /Greece this week....

Dafni Kangilieri has studied graphic design and illustration....she started making jewelry a few years ago and she opened her ETSY shop "lacravatteduchien" in 2008...Ever since it slowly became from a hobby to a priority in her life. Now a practically make a living out of it! In the next months She is planing to move to another country, but jewelry making will definitely remain a big part of her everyday life.

....She has a wonderful imagination...-as a COLOR fan- I really like her style and jewelries....

Me: Do you think artists are fundamentally different than other people? Why or why not?

She: I don't believe that artists are that different... I mean you can't put all artists in the same category as what king of people they are. Every person, including artists, is unique. There are all kinds of people with various behaviors, political and religious views and that has nothing to do with if they are artists or not. The only part where there might be a difference is that once you put art in your live, as an artist and as well as an observer, then is almost impossible to continue without it.

Me: Do you visualize your Art before creating? Do you know what it will look like before you begin? What's your process?

She: Well not completely. I have a basic idea first then I draw my designs on a paper . But since every piece is hand sawed and hand illustrated they all come up a bit different in the end. Plus you never know what is going to happen when you play with colors!

Me: As an artist what do you feel the internet has done for you, both on a positive and negative sense?

She: It's true that internet has both good and evil side. That I love about it is that I can work from my house, or even better from wherever I like. I can take my job with me wherever I go! Also selling on-line means my customers are from all over the world! It's wonderful to know that my jewelry might be "taking a walk" right now in the Central Park, on top of the Eiffel Tower or have seen a kangaroo somewhere in Australia! The part I'm so fun of is the computer itself. Working for many years as a graphic designer, I can say I had enough of computers! I don't like to spend my day in front of a screen and not in the real world. So I try to do as less as possible.

Me:Do you have a feature that no one has not seen it yet? if any why remained hidden until now?

She: Every 2 years or so I get excited with something new. And If I get so excited I can't really hide it. So no. Not for now. But I know at sometime while featuring something new will stuck in my head. We'll just have to wait and see... :)

Me: Name 5 of your favorite ETSY shops

She: ninon / sweetbestiary / acerriteno / PetitPlat / psyboom

ETSY Artist Interview number 1

2011-02-16T15:06:00.003+02:00

I am sooo excited like a baby girl:-)..."Artist Interviews" will be my new hobby after a loong time....I have not updated my poor Blog for months..I am sure those "Interviews" will encourage me to keep it updated.....as you may know English is not my mother tongue, I hope and "at the same time" I can develop my english too:-)

Thanx for your time dear friends:-)... here we gooooo to Oregon, US.....

Gesine Kratzner was born in Germany, studied fine art at Kunstakademie Stuttgard and went on to earn MA in animation at the Royal Collage of Art in London ....

Gesine participates in the ETSY Artist Interview as the 1st interviewer...Her etsy shop name is blobhouse...

Her designs are sooo FUN...Artistic...and every piece has its own Character...

Hope they make you SMILEEEE too:-) to see the exact size of the characters just click on the photos....

Me: What is the strangest or funniest comment or question you've ever gotten about your work?

She: Somebody once called my designs "Sesame Street on heroin", that has stuck with me for some reason. Meaning they are cute, but there is also something a little bit off about them..., or at least that is how I interpret that remark.

Me: Do you like criticism/feedback or do you like to figure it out all by yourself?

She: I think I'm at a point in my life where I know what is good and what isn't and what I like and what I don't. So I guess, no I don't really like criticism too much, but I'm always open to ideas and suggestions- wether I take them on or not is another question. In my life as an artist for hire, doing design for commercials, it's a different story.

Me: As an artist what do you feel the internet has done for you, both
on a positive and negative sense?

She: I think when google image search came along, that really changed my
life. Before, if I had to design a platypus (for example), in order to
know what a platypus looks like I'd have to go to the library and find
a book on Australian animals. Now I get thousands of pages of
platypuses from all angles- fantastic!
Of course every artist has to have a web presence these days and
that's some work to build up, but on the other hand you can reach so
many people!
The fact that I sit in front of the computer instead of making art is
the negative side.

Me: The business side of being an artist: how do you market/promote yourself, and does it work? How do you cope? Any juicy dealer stories?

She: To be honest, I am only just starting to do more of my own personal art and figuring out ways to sell it. I have a pretty busy career in animation, designing and directing animated commercials. A lot of the design work I do in my job luckily is not too far removed in style from what I would do in my own personal art. Nevertheless it is so enjoyable when I do get around to producing some art at home and I found that I like selling it too- getting to hear from customers and knowing that little bits of my world are finding new homes in faraway places. My etsy store is only about a half a year old and I've been having a couple of art shows here in Portland in the last year, but it is still very much something I do on the side.

Me: Name your favorite shops at ETSY

She: seasprayblue / timor / 3crows / Juliapott

Spring Makes My Fever Right....

2010-04-14T19:06:00.000+03:00

I adore spring not just because of feeling nature of LOVE ...but also seeing the color of the flowers I plent..smelling them...watching their color mix until you get bored...(I would not mind....I can watch them for all day long:-)
Spring also reminds me a song from Elvis..as below....

A little bird, he told me so
He said come on, get on the go
Open your eyes the sky is full of butterflies
The blossoms on the trees stir up the honey bees
Spring makes my fever right

Spring fever, spring is here at last
Spring fever, my heart’s beating fast
Get up, get out spring is everywhere

Well if you feel the wanderlust
Just grab a car or hop a bus
In every town there’s excitement to be found
So much is happening
Don’t miss the joy of spring
The world’s in love just look around

Spring fever comes to everyone
Spring fever, it’s time for fun
Get up, get out spring is everywhere

Just write me ...what Spring reminds YOU......

GET TOGETHER DINNER of ETSY ISTANBUL LOVERS

2010-04-14T13:19:00.000+03:00

Etsy Istanbul Lovers met in a lovely restaurant called PROKOPI on 31st of March... The food was sooo delicious...we ate too muchhh..we laughed too muchhh...and I am really happy to be a part of them....

photo4: Miss Big Face...KRISTIN aka evihan , The Beauty ASLI aka atelierafra

We ate supperdupper delicious Mezzes...the one with EtsyFriends writing is a very typical Armenian Mezze called TOPIK...Topik is an Armenian delicacy which has almost completely disappeared from kitchens..The casing is made of potatoes and garbanzo beans, the filling is to die for: slow roasted onions, tahini, black currants, allspice and pine nuts. The reastaurant where we were is one of the very few last places who offer this specialty. Nowadays it is only (and even then rarely, as it is very cumbersome to prepare) found in the private kitchens of the Armenian minority in Istanbul, especially around New Year..

Happy to know you all...and hope to seeing you again and again:-)

What is an EVIL EYE?

2010-03-15T15:56:00.000+02:00

The customers who visit me and my shop during their holidays, always ask me the meaning of the EVIL EYE s...I always want to give information briefly but I found a very informative writing in detail today and I wanted to share with you...
evil eye necklace

Belief in the evil eye during antiquity is based on the evidence in ancient sources like Aristophanes, Athenaeous, Plutarch, and Heliodorus. There are also speculations that claim Socrates possessed the evil eye and that his disciples and admirers were fascinated by Socrates' insistently glaring eyes. His followers were called Blepedaimones, which translates into demon look, not because they were possessors and transmitters of the evil eye, but because they were suspected of being under the hypnotic and dangerous spell of Socrates.
In the Greco-Roman period a scientific explanation of the evil eye was common. Plutarch's scientific explanation stated that the eyes were the chief, if not sole, source of the deadly rays that were supposed to spring up like poisoned darts from the inner recesses of a person possessing the evil eye. Plutarch treated the phenomenon of the evil eye as something seemingly inexplicable that is a source of wonder and cause of incredulity.
The belief in the evil eye during antiquity varied from different regions and periods. The evil eye was not feared with equal intensity in every corner of the Roman Empire. There were places in which people felt more conscious of the danger of the evil eye. In the Roman days not only were individuals considered to possess the power of the evil eye but whole tribes, especially those of Pontus and Scythia, were believed to be transmitters of the evil eye.
The spreading in the belief of the Evil Eye towards the east is believed to have been propagated by the Empire of Alexander the Great, which spread this and other Greek ideas across his empire.

Belief in the evil eye is strongest in the Middle East, East and West Africa, Central America, South Asia, Central Asia and Europe, especially the Mediterranian region; it has also spread to other areas, including northern Europe, particularly in the Celtic regions, and the Americas, where it was brought by European colonists and Middle Eastern immigrants.
Belief in the evil eye is found in Islamic doctrine, based upon the statement of Prophet Muhammad, "The influence of an evil eye is a fact..." . Authentic practices of warding off the evil eye are also commonly practiced by Muslims: rather than directly expressing appreciation of, for example, a child's beauty, it is customary to say Masha'Allah, that is, "God has willed it", or invoking God's blessings upon the object or person that is being admired. Aside from beliefs based upon authentic Islamic texts, a number of unsubstantiated beliefs about the evil eye are found in folk religion, typically revolving around the use of amulets or talismans as a means of protection.

In Turkey, evil eye jewelery and other such trinkets are particularly common. The evil eye is also known as the Eye of Medusa. A nazar or evil eye stone (Turkish: nazar boncugu) is an amulet that protects against the evil eye. Colourful beads, bracelets, necklaces, anklets, and all manner of decoration may be adorned by this particularly popular symbol, and it is common to see it on almost anything, from babies, horses, doors to cars, cell phones...I have several evil eye beads and ring at my ETSY shop...

KIZILDERILIDEN TEK KELİMELİK HAYAT DERSI

2009-09-19T13:33:00.000+03:00

Cherokee kabilesinin yaşlılarından biri hayat, aşk ve evlilik üzerine konuşurken şunları söylüyor:

"İçimizde iki kurt var ve bunların arasında da korkunç bir savaş.

Kurtlardan biri korkuyu, öfkeyi, kıskançlığı, pişmanlığı, açgözlülüğü, kibiri, kendine acımayı, küskünlüğü, aşağılık duygusunu, yalanları, üstünlük taslamayı ve benciliği temsil ediyor.

Diğeri ise; zevki, huzuru, sevgiyi, umudu, paylaşmayı, cömertliği, dinginliği, alçak gönüllülüğü, nezaketi, yardımseverliliği, dostluğu, anlayışı, merhameti ve inancı temsil ediyor."

Gençlerden biri "hangi kurt kazanacak?" diye soruyor ve yaşlı adam kısaca cevap veriyor:

"BESLEDİĞİNİZ"
