Workspace Wednesday / Calisma alani Carsambasi

Efenim merhabalar, bundan boyle her carsamba studyomdan bir fotograf paylasmaya karar verdim. (burada paylasmam persembe'ye geldi, affola. ama instagram'da daha zamanli davraniyorum ^_^) Zira farkettim ki diger sanatcilarin bloglarinda veya facebook sayfalarinda en merakla takip ettigim seyler agirlikli olarak calisma alanlari (neyi nereye koyduklari, neyi nasil yaptiklari, hangi malzemeleri kullandiklari vs hep ufuk acici, ilham verici) Eh, yeni studyoma tasindiktan sonra hic calisma alani fotografi paylasmadigim da dusunulurse hem studyoyu temiz/duzenli tutmak hem de blogu yeniden canlandirmak icin en iyisinin boyle bir cozum olacagina karar verdim. Umarim sizin de isinize yarar :)

Iki haftadir temizlemeye, organize etmeye ve derleyip toplamaya calistigim studyomun kukla alaniyla yapmak istedim acilisi.
Sag ust raftaki kutularda eski filmlerin kuklalari ve setleri var. Bazilarinda minyatur/prop yapma malzemeleri var. Alttaki rafta sol tarafta dugmeydi ipti filan gibi disik malzemeleri ve minyatur dekorasyon malzemeleri var. Sagda da taki, incik boncuk. En alt rafta ise firin ve dikis malzemleriyle boncuklar duruyor.
Masadaki mini cekmecelerde de envai cesit ivir zivir: iplikler, kurdeleler, igneler, kukla taki malzemeleri, kukla kiyafet susleri, dugmeler, cirt cirtlar, gozler... Hatta belki ilerleyen haftalarda cekmeceliklerin iclerini de paylasirim.
Masanin kalanini daha secilir bir fotografla anlatacagim :)


Hello there! Since I realized how I enjoyed seeing other artists' studios and work spaces, I decided to share a photo from my studio every Wednesday from now on. (It happened to be on a Thursday this time, sorry for that. But I'm on time on instagram ^_^) I find it very inspiring to see how they choose to organize their spaces, the tools they're using, what they're working on and how they're working on it, etc. Also, I haven't shared any photos of my workspace since I moved to my new studio and I thought this would be the best motivation for me to keep the studio clean / organized and this blog alive. I hope you'll enjoy it too!

I wanted to start with the doll section of my studio, which I've been trying to clean and organize for the last two weeks.
On the top right shelf, in the boxes there are props and puppets from my old films as well as miniature/prop making materials. Below on the left are the buttons and strings and some miniature decoration elements (filigrees and such) and on the left are jewelry making stuff. On the bottom shelf, sits my oven next to the sewing materials like zippers and beads. In the tiny drawers on the table, I've got all kinds of itty bitty doll making stuff like eyes, buttons,  jewelry, eyelets, trims, ribbons, threads... I might even share insides of the shelf-lings on the following weeks.
I will talk about the rest of the table with a photo where it's more visible :)

Little match girl / Kibritci kiz


I finally finished the little match girl doll. The main material is polymer clay, blushed with pastels. Her dress is vintage silk, hand painted with fabric dyes, cocoa, cinnamon and tea. More photos after the break. Enjoy!
p.s. She's now in Art cz Gallery in Prague, in case you'd like to see her in person.

Bir onceki postta  bahsetmis oldugum 10marifet yarismasina kibritci kizimla katildim. Ana malzemesi polimer kil, elbisesi elde boyanmis vintage ipek. Daha detayli anlatim 10marifet sayfasinda. Daha fazla fotograf ise postun devaminda.
p.s. Yakindan gormek isteyenler icin, kendisi an itibariyle Prag'da Art cz Gallery'de. 

10marifet, kartopu ve kiscilik

Efenim 10marifet.org ve kartopu'nun ortaklasa duzenledigi kis temali bir yarisma var. Tam da "biraz da kis kizlari mi yapsam" diye dusundugum bir sirada duymus olmam guzel tesaduf oldu. Ayrintilar surda. Ben de simdi gidip biraz kiscilik yapayim :)

Maggie


As promised, here she is: Maggie the little steampunk girl. She's a 11cm mini doll with button joints on her shoulders and hips, but I used watch bits instead of buttons. The whole costume was super fun to make and it was my first attempt on steampunk. I think there will be more steampunk dolls in the near future :)
She's waiting to be adopted: https://www.etsy.com/listing/172647588/maggie-ooak-steampunk-posable-art-doll


Ve soz verdigim gibi, karsinizda kucuk steampunk kizi Maggie. Kendisi 11 cm boyunda, dugme eklemli bir mini kukla lakin dugme yerine saat parcalari kullandim. Kostumu yapmak super eglenceliydi. Kendisinin ilk steampunk denemem oldugunu da belirtmeden gecemeyecegim. Yakin gelecekte daha fazla steampunk kuklalari gormeye hazir olun :)
Kendileri evlan edinilmeyi bekliyor: https://www.etsy.com/listing/172647588/maggie-ooak-steampunk-posable-art-doll

Ugradiginiz icin tesekkurler. Bir sonraki post: Minik bir steampunk kizi.

Upcoming project: Steampunk Ottoman


Yep. I said it. Steampunk Ottoman!
First of all, you need to forgive the crappy illustration. It's been a while since I did some drawing, and not having even a mouse (let alone a tablet) didn't help with the colouring either. Anyway. I skipped most of the accessories/steampunk details in the drawing but apart from that, this is what I have in mind more or less.

I'm planning to make a steampunk version of harem headpieces (like the ones you can see in the collage, bottom row, third and fifth image) with gears, chains and stuff. For the jewelry, I think I'm gonna try to make a miniature version of a resin covered steampunk jewelry (image numbered 3) with harem style (the image just above the pendant)

The jacket will be a mesh-up of the image numbered 4 and the yellow one in the middle of the collage. I'm hoping to be able to make that hand thingie as well, but we'll see how it goes. And for the corset, I'm thinking about something like image 6.


Now, the real issue. Although I've gathered so many bits and pieces of fabrics and trims and other weeny materials over the years, I've never really tried my hand at neither steampunk nor ottoman style before. And I'm not sure if I actually have all the things I would need to finish this project.
Soooo, any kind of donation (fabric, scraps, trims, beads, old watches, watch pieces, chains... anything you think that might fit the style, really) will be very much welcomed and appreciated. And I'd like to send postcards with the lady to my donators once she's finished and photographed :)

Oh, also, any kind of advice is also as welcomed and appreciated :)
For those of you who really would like to help out but don't really have any materials lying around, you can still help out via paypal.

Thanks everyone in advance!

Evet. Soyledim. Steampunk osmanli!
Herseyden once dandik cizimi bagislamanizi rica ediyorum. En son yaptigim cizimin uzerinden epey bi zaman gecti. Ayrica tablet bir yana mouse'umun bile olmayisinin renklendirmede pek ise yaradigini da soyleyemeyecegim. Velhasil, incik cincik steampunk aksesuarlarin cogunu es gectim cizimde ama iste kafamdaki sey asagi yukari bu.

Harem taclarinin (kolajdaki en alt siradaki ucuncu ve besinci resimdeki gibi) steampunk versiyonunu yapmayi planliyorum, carklar curklar, zincirler falan. Mucevherat icin sanirim 3 numarali resimdekinin minyatur versiyonu resin kaplama bir sey deneyecegim, tabii yine harem stilinde (sag ust kosedeki resim)

Ceket icin 4 numarali resimdekinin ve ortadaki sarinin karisimi bir sey dusunuyorum. O el zimbirtisini yapabilmeyi de umuyorum ama bakalim, gorcez. Korse de 6 numarali resimdekine benzer olacak sanirim.


Gelelim esas mevzuya. Her ne kadar yillar icinde bir dolu kumas parcasi, dantel, ve diger ufak tefek malzemeler toplamis olsam da simdiye kadar ne steampunk ne de osmanli stilini denedim. Ve acikcasi ihtiyacim olacak tum malzemelerin elimde oldugundan da emin degilim.
Yaniii, her turlu bagisa (kumas, kumas artigi, kenar susu, incik boncuk, eski saat, saat parcalari, zincir... stile uyacagini dusundugunuz her turlu sey acikcasi) acigim ve en ufak seyin bile pek makbule gececegini belirtmek isterim. Ayrica bagiscilarima da hanimkizin bir kartpostalini yollamak istiyorum bitip de fotograflari cekildikten sonra.

Ha, ayni zamanda her turlu elestiri ve oneriyi de bagislar kadar heyecanla bekliyorum :)
Etrafta gonderecek malzemesi olmayan ama yine de cok yardim etmek isteyenler olursa, onlar da yardimlarini paypal araciligiyla yapabilirler.

Herkese simdiden cok tesekkurler!

Chloe


Finally a post about actual puppets after long long time. This is Chloe. Completely handmade, including her itty bitty accessories. I don't really know how tall she is because I forgot to take measurements :/ But you can see her size more or less in the last photo. (I'll probably update this post after I measure her)
Oh and before I forget, she has joints in her shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankles.

Nihayet uzuun zaman sonunda gercekten kuklalar hakkinda bir yazi. Bu Chloe. Tamamen el yapimi, minicik aksesuarlari da dahil. Tam olarak ne boyda oldugunu bilemiyorum zira unuttum kac cm olduguna bakmayi :/ Lakin son fotografta asagi yokari ne buyuklukte oldugunu gorebilirsiniz. (Bu postu da olcumleri yaptiktan sonra guncelleyecegim muhtemelen)
Ha unutmadan, omuzlarinda, dirseklerinde, kalcasinda, dizlerinde ve ayak bileklerinde eklemleri var kendisinin.

Ankara'da Kukla Atolyesi


Son dakika oldu ama, olsun. Efenim, beklenen Ankara atolyesi bu haftasonu. Stop-motion kuklalarinin yanisira dileyenlerle de art doll yapacagimiz bu atolye iki gun toplam 20 saat surecek. Kullanilacak tum malzemelerin dahil oldugu katilim ucreti 220 lira.

Gorusuruz!

Istanbul'da Stop-motion Kukla Atolyesi / Stop-motion Puppet Workshop in Istanbul

Evet biliyorum, yine bin yil gecti son postumun uzerinden. O yuzden hic uzatmayip konuya giriyorum. Efenim Bu haftasonu Istanbul'da yine bir stop-motion (ve her zamanki gibi dileyenlerle de art-doll yapacagimiz) kukla atolyemiz olacak. 10:00'da baslayip 20:00'de bitecek olan toplam 20 saatlik atolyemize katilim ucreti 250 lira. Kullanilacak malzemeler, ogle yemegi ve atistirmalik yiyecek icecekler ucrete dahil. Detayli bilgi ve kayit icin ozlem@ozlemakin.com adresine mail atabilirsiniz.

P.s. Internetleri hepten birakmadim. Instagram ve tumblr'da da bulusabiliriz. Buraya da donuyorum, kesin bilgi.


It's been ages since my last post, I know. I will come back here too but since then, I can be found on instagram and tumblr. Oh, and this post is about the upcoming stop-motion puppet workshop this weekend in Istanbul.

custom puppetlings / kisiye ozel muklalar


Well, you'll have to excuse the photo quality. It was either this or nothing. 
So these are the latest custom made puppets I made. They're slightly bigger than the usual keyring puppetlings and their joints are made of elastic thread and buttons.

Eh, fotograf kalitesini mazur goreceksiniz artik. Ya bu olacakti ya da hicbir sey.
Velhasil, bunlar da son yaptigim kisiye ozel kuklalar. Anahtarlik muklalarindan biraz daha buyukler ve eklemleri lastik ve dugmeden olusmakta.

books / defterler


Yep. I've been making books lately. Lots of them.
It's either a fun way of procrastination or I actually found the meaning of life, universe and everything in book-making. Or at least I will once I have 42 books made ;)
I'll put them for sale on my online store as soon as I manage to take proper photos.

Evet. Bu ara defter yapiyorum. Bir suru.
Bu defter yapma isi ya baska seyler yapmama bahanesi (procrastination da dedigimiz) ya da gercekten hayat, evren ve her seyin cevabini defter yapmakta buldum. Ya da en azindan 42 tane defter yaptigimda bulacagim. ;)
Duzgun fotograflarini cekebilirsem sayet online dukkanimda satida cikacaklar.



 



"but I don't know how to put it back"

*"ama nasil geri koyulacagini bilmiyorum"

az laf cok fotograf. 
bonus: gozyaslarimizi bitti mi sandin?


less talking, more photographing.

Meet Olivia / Olivia'yla tanisin


  

Booo(hoo)!
Olivia is not after the screams really. She's just a lost soul, trying to find her path with her old and non-working oil lamp. Wouldn't you like to help her?

Olivia korku cigliklarinin pesinde degil aslinda. O, eski ve calismayan gaz lambasiyla yolunu bulmaya calisan kayip bir ruh sadece. Ona yardim etmek istemez miydiniz?

Izmir'de kukla ve animasyon atolyeleri / Puppet making and animation workshops in Izmir

yapim asamasi / work in progress


Evet, kac zamandir blogu guncellemedigimin farkindayim ama calismadigimdan degil. Aksine, dogru duzgun fotograflamadan bir seyler koymak istemedigimden. Tam da bu yuzden twitter ya da instagram'dan takip etmeyenler icin agirlikli olarak yapim asamasi fotograflarindan olusan bir tumblr blogu hazirladim. Boyle buyrun.

Yep, I haven't been updating the blog lately, but it's not because I wasn't working. Not at all. I just don't want to put anything here that's not properly photographed. For that reason, I created a new tumblr blog with mostly work in progress photos for those who're not following me on twitter or instagram. Enjoy!

www.tuhafije.com

Dun sozunu verdigim uzere dukkani acmis bulunuyorum. An itibariye yarisi ilk defa gorucuye cikan 12 urun var sadece ama hizla diger urunleri eklemeye devam ediyorum.

As promised yesterday, I just opened the store. I just have 12 items listed right now and half of them are brand new listings. Yet, I'm gradually adding more stuff.


Pazar gecesine kadar listelenmis butun urunler indirimde (stoklar elverdigi surece) Ardindan da bir baska hosgeldiginiz indirimi baslayacak.

All the items are on sale till Sunday night (limited with the stocks) After that, another welcome discount will be starting.


Gelelim cekilise. Bu sefer minik bir sart koymaya karar verdim ki o da www.tuhafije.com adresini ve/veya bu postu bir sosyal medya platformunda (blog, twitter, friendfeed, facebook, eksisozluk ve hatta reddit gibi) paylasip ister buraya yorum olarak, ister twitter veya facebook'ta mention yaparak, isterseniz de ozlem@ozlemakin.com adresine mail atarak bana bildirmeniz. Her bir paylasim bir katilim hakki sagliyor bu arada (facebook ve friendfeed'e twitter'dan dusen otomatik bildirimler sayilmiyor) yani ne kadar cok platformda paylasim, o kadar kazanma sansi :)  Bir haftanin sonunda, yani 27 Nisan cuma gecesi cekilis sona erecek ve en gec cumartesi kazananlari duyuracagim. Akabinde yapmaniz gereken tek sey ise bana adresinizi yollamaniz olacak.
Tamam, bu en sikici kural faslini gectigimize gore gelelim icerige. Ustteki fotografta gordugunuz gibi, bir adet kahve fincani yuzuk, birer cift fotograf makinali ve kasetli kupe ve bir adet buyuk gitar yaka ignesi. Yorum veya mailinizde hangisini tercih ettiginizi belirtirseniz daha bile sahane olur.

Now, about the give-away, I decided to request one small thing this time. All you need to do is to share www.tuhafije.com and/or this very blog post on one of the social media platforms (blogs, twitter, friendfeed, facebook or even reddit) and either comment here, mention on facebook or twitter or send me and email to the address ozlem@ozlemakin.com with your link. Also, every different platform gives you another chance (though, I won't be accepting the feeds automatically posted by twitter to your facebook or friendfeed page) so more sharing means more chance to win :) The deadline is at the end of one week, on Friday April 27th and I'll be announcing the winners on Saturday, latest. After that, all you need to do will be sending me your shipping address.
Okay, now that the boring "rules" part is over, let's talk about what I will be giving away. As you can see in the photo above, included are one coffee cup ring, one pair of camera and one pair of cassette tape stud earrings and one big black guitar pin/tie tack. It'd be extra cool if you could include your choice of item with either your comment or email.

tuhafije!

Tuhafije yazilir, tuhafiye okunur.
Tuhafiye: Nadir ve emsalsiz hediyeler, tuhaf seyler dukkani.
Kucuk tuhaf seyler dukkanina hosgeldiniz!

Written as tuhafije, read as tuha:fiye.
Tuhafiye: Tuhaf means rare and unique gifts in Arabic, and tuhafiye means the shop that sells rare and unique gifts. (Tuhaf also means weird, strange and unusual in Turkish)
Welcome to the little shop of wonders!
Evet! Nihayet ucuncu partilere bagli olmayan online dukkanimi aciyorum. Aslinda guya bir aydir aciyorum ama iste urunlerin yeniden fotograflanmasiydi, sistemin arayuzune alismakti filan derken uzadikca uzadi. Bunu da buraya yaziyorum ki artik erteleyemeyeyim. Az urunle de olsa acilis yarin. 

Tabii kutlama yapmayi da unutmadim. Fotograf makinasi, kaset, kahve molasi ve jam session serilerinden birer urunu cekilisle 4 kisiye dagitacagim. Simdilik yapmaniz gereken bir sey yok, cekilis detaylarini da yarinki acilis postuyla birlikte yazacagim.


Yes! I'm finally opening my own online shop free from the third parties. Actually, I've been meaning to open it for more than a month now but re-photographing the items, getting used to the the the platform and such are keeping things slow. I'm announcing this here, so that I won't be able to procrastinate anymore. Grand opening will be tomorrow, no matter how many listings I have. 

Of course, I'm not forgetting the celebration. I'll be giving away one item from each line: cameras, cassette tapes, coffee break and jam session. You don't have to do anything for now, I'll be explaining the give away in my opening post tomorrow.

muklalar / puppetlings

Mukla detaylarina gecmeden once hemen kendi kukla siparisinizi verebilmeniz icin mevcut linkleri paylasmak istiyorum. Burada ve burada etsy, surada, surada ve surada da fler uzerinden oldugu gibi ozlem@ozlemakin.com adresine mail atarak da bir cift mukla siparisini posta dahil 250 liraya verebilirsiniz.

Before going into details, I'd like to share the links for you to order your very own puppetlings. Available here and here on etsy and here, here and here on fler.


Evet, bundan boyle "kisye ozel mini kuklalari anahtarliklar"dan "mukla" olarak bahsedecegiz. 

Yep, form now on, I'll be referring to "custom made mini puppet key chains" as "puppetlings".


Postumuzun ilk konuklari bir anne-ogul, Burak Bey ve Semra Hanim.
This post's first guests are a mother and son, Semra and Burak.



Kuklalari epoksi macunu ve polimer kil ile yapildi, bazi yerleri akrilikle boyandi sonra da akrilik vernikle kaplandilar. Kostumlerini yaparken o kadar eglendim ki, anlatamam. Ozellikle Burak Bey'in t-shirt yakasinda ^_^

The puppets are made of epoxy putty and polymer clay, some bits are painted with acrylics and coated with acrylic varnish. I can't tell you how I enjoyed making the costumes. Especially the collar of Burak's t-shirt. ^_^




Sonraki konugumuz da Zeynep Hanim ve Guven Bey cifti.

Our next guests are a couple, Zeynep and Guven.


Onlarin kuklalari da ayni sekilde epoksi macunu ve polimer kilden yapildi, akrilikle boyanip vernikle kaplandi.

Their puppets are also made of epoxy putty and polymer clay, painted with acrylics and coated with varnish.
