I have been a dental practitioner working at my private dental clinic for 25 years.I got interested in bead work five years ago as a hobby. My works are generally influenced by Anatolian civilisations.

Beaded Scorpion Project

Beaded Scorpion

This scorpion is made entirely of beads, wire, and findings. Lobster-claw clasps are used for the tail and pincers.

Ram Horn Peyote Stitch Necklace Project

Ram Horn Peyote Stitch Necklace

I was influenced by Hittite figures and forms for this piece. I used the peyote technique with Japanese seed beads size 13 and size 15. The figure at the center of the necklace is handmade from 22 carat gold. I also used herringbone technique for clamps.
