Ottoman style cotton necklace
Description
Oya' is a traditional art form in Turkey. The flowers are of hand sewn fabric and there is also crocheted 'Oya' work using coloured thread. For this necklace I used brown toned 'Oya' 100% cotton fabric, vintage style small charms (old Ottoman coins) and crystals.length of necklace is adjustable by its long chain. You can see the back detail.
YAZMA
The thin cotton fabric, shows to the other side when used. In Turkey it is used by woman who works on the fields as a protection from the sun. It is also used by the modern woman as a fashion. It is a very useful material it dries immediately when washed, it is anti-perspirant and keeps the hair well.
It is also used in wedding ceremonies for example a young girl who's planning to get married may put it in her hope-chest-box.
It's a very healthy fabric- light, easily washable and quickly dryable.
OYA
It's the name of a flower in Turkey. The flowers on the fabrics are made with thread and needle. There is also "oya" work made with crochet needle and colored threads.
This work has an extremely great effort and these products are really elegant!
Turkish women use all combinations of colors when they make these small flowers. The most successful result is achieved when the leaves of the flowers have the same shape and dimensions just as woven in a factory. The most valuable ones are the ones made with silk thread.
All pieces are unique & handmade, duplicates are not produced.
