Inspiration of A New Collection



A new collection with silver ropes will avaliable be soon at my Etsy shop; www.serpilguneysu.etsy.com








This year I have tried alpinism and rock climbing with ropes. It is difficult to do it for me because I afraid climbing, but I admire how amazing things can be done with only one rope!!!! So I have created silver ropes and made a new collection from them. I am quite excited about this new collection!

Bu sene yaz dağcılığı başlangıç eğitimlerine katıldım. Eğitim iplerle kaya tırmanışı da içeriyordu. Kaya tırmanışı yapamasam da iplere ve kayalara hayran kaldım!! İpe girmek, iple kayalardan inmek harika bir duygu olsa gerek.....o kadar hoşuma gitti ki ipler den bir koleksiyon oluşturdum....neredeyse bitti....şu an fotoğraflıyorum ve yakında yayınlayacağım....

Trekking Near Istanbul and Green Forest Jewelry

In Istanbul it is difficult to find natural, untouched areas. There are small parks, little green lands but all of them are designed by human. Flowers can not grow where They want or it is people decision where a tree will grow.
But my eyes need to see something natural and my ears to hear natural sounds like birds, falling water voices of leaves...it is something that feeds my soul and inspire my jewelry.
 
 This photo has been taken on a forest approx. 200km far away from Istanbul.
 
One of my favorite one of a kind rings. I had used natural emerald gemstone on it. I call it as " Third Eye "
 

I  believe in power of green which is my favorite color. Nature awakaness with hunderets of green color's tones and creates new beauties! So I try to use green as much as I can or as much as I can find proper materials!

Chintamani Earrings, Inspired Turkish Ottoman Ornaments


 https://www.etsy.com/listing/173316903/turquoise-blue-handmade-earrings?ref=shop_home_active_1

I have inspired this earring from Ottoman ornaments. This ornament is called Chintamani - a wish- fulfilling jewel - and has been widely used both Buddhist and Ottoman traditions. They have given this figure different meanings. Blue Pendant consists of three circles. For Buddhist three circles of cintamani symbolize Buddha's three spiritual features. When you come to Ottomans three circles symbolize power. It is believed that Sultans would be protected because of the power of three circles.

The only thing never changes in life is change itself.... Hayatta değişmeyen tek şey değişim....

I have done some little changes on my double birds silver pendant. Life is changing everytime and I think my jewelries are alive and change by time... I change my jewelry is changing....
Yaşayan takılar yaptığımı düşünüyorum...takılarımda zaman zaman değişiklikler yapıyorum....bazen bir takımın bir yıl önceki haliye bir yıl sonraki hali bir olmuyor, örneğin iki kuşlu kolyem; bugün bu kolyede gene pek de farkedilmez ufak tefek değişiklikler yaptım ve yeni şekliyle fotoğrafladım...kulpta, ağacın dallarında ufak, zor farkedilir değişiklikler var!...hayatta böyle değil mi? Değişmeyen tek şey değişim değil mi?
