The weather looks good in Istanbul today, I don't want to travel anywhere. So let's meet Pinar from toosis.etsy.com living in Istanbul. She makes silver jewelry using precious stones, sterling silver and gold. I am not a great jewelry person but I have to admit that there is something in her rings that makes my socks turn and rock...
What a difference a day makes 24 hours a day…
Hello, I was honored and exited when Heli asked me to prepare for her Fridays fun at her blog. I am an architect and work in my families’ business. I also design jewelry with silver and gemstones. I feel lucky to live in Istanbul where I can easily find any supply I need directly for the source. Friday’s are like my fun days because I work at my office Monday to Thursday and leave Friday’s for my jewelry designing process….

Today on my way to buy supplies I planned to stop at the exhibit of Miniature Rooms by Henry Kupjack at Rahmi Koç Museum 
These rooms are 1/12 scale.
This one is a an old time pub.
when looked closely feels like a real room…
They are exhibiting 21 of these small rooms here… and I enjoyed looking in each and every one.
I couldn’t resist this Pink Cadillac at the museum.
I buy most of my supplies form KapaliBazzar in Sultanahmet / ISTANBUL
I need some turquoise. 
And some onyx stones for my new designs. It’s hard to choose lots of different cuts and shapes to look at. Isn’t this fun….
I spent too many time shopping. Just grabbed a sandwich on my way to work.Here is my office desk. After I check my mails, I usually browse my etsy shop http://toosis.etsy.com/
This is where I design and create… I admit that I tidied before taking the picture :)
These are my last three pieces. I can’t stop making more and more of these huge rings.
Can I wear all of them at the same time? Probably not…
A picture of Galata Kule on my way home…
And another beautiful siluet of Istanbul on my way back…
My boys are back from school and I have made home just on time… Now its play time for us until their bed time…
