May 2008 I received Artisan Status at IGMA (International Guild of Miniature Artisans).

 

I am living in Turkey since 1993 

 I was at the miniature show in Madrid in November  2008 ,2009 and 2010.  

And I was in Chicago in April 2010 and 2012

​

​

I loved to go to shows and meet my friends there.  But slowly I am getting a bit older and it is more difficult to travel alone.  So for this moment no more shows ...

​

Since I retired from my real size shop I did not make carpets.  I do more crochet work and embroidery.  I love to do custom wok or explore new techniques and new products.
