2016 November
I decided to
wake up and start working again. First, I started to paint portraits of my
loved ones on silk.
At the
beginning of this month I made a seminar in Antalya, Akdeniz University.
You can see photos down below:
At the end of
this month I want to teach to dear students of this university, gemology,
lapidary. Off course I want to teach everything I know whoever want to
learn.

Long time past since we visited our teacher
Muzaffer Altunel. So this time when I was in Istanbul with my friend Ozden
we went to see
him.
He tought us almost everything we know about jewellery
manufacturing.

I am in Istanbul again. Whenever I think of Istanbul I remember the song;
"Hey beatiful Istanbul, my dearest beloved.."
These pictures are taken when we were visiting with
Prof. Sezai Kirikoglu and Mrs. Gunfer Kirikoglu
At
the left; Bosphorus is the most beautiful sights in the world. At the right;
Jeogem offers a feast for your eyes...

These spheres are the most impressive art in Jeogem. Enamelled sea
and gemstone inlaid continents and countries..
|
Another objects were the carved animals which were worth to see..

wire-wrapping. Oya is one of the most accomplished artists and jewellers I know.

Time
flies without realizing. Since October 2006 I haven't done anything concerning
Gemology. This second presentation in Montreal Gem and Mineral Club was similar
to the first one.
In
the first weekend I did the introduction to Gem ID. Second weekend I introduced
the tools and instruments to identify the gems.
Unfortunately
the photos I took did not come out. That's why I haven't got everybody's
picture. |
