WHO
AM I AND WHAT “ADA” MEANS
|
|
| |
|
All
my life passed by searching around to find a very precious thing:
stones, seashells, buttons, jewelry, colors, picture everything that I
had seen.
|
|
| |
|
I
collected so many things throughout the years. I spent a lifetime
looking around. My eyes always searched for the most beautiful thing at
that time and place where I was. The colors in the nature; cross
section of leek for instance, but an image, for some pertaining to that
very moment I lived, had always been saved to my hard disk. I should
have used these somewhere, therefore I’ve been nature photographer for
some period. |

As
a mother of two, it’s not possible anymore to grab the camera and walk
out from home before the sunrise. It’s my greatest passion now to
reflect my long saved colors and sights to a tiny little bead. While
walking on the sand, I used to pick seashells and stone chips at the
expense of missing a sunset with magnificent colors, for the sole
purpose of being able to carve them and make necklaces one day. Now I
can create jewels once I tried so hard to find and this feeling,
really, thrills me out. Depending on my mood that day, my bead is blue
if I’m blue, my bead is rainbow however if I’m happy. |

By
the way, I forgot to mention what ADA meant. Ada means island in my
language; my grizzly and turquoise colored island that I missed most
after my family for all these years I’ve been here, silhouette of which
I knew by heart, and sunset of which I had watched from a shore across
all along my childhood on every occasion I was nearby. I hope you find
the colors and sight you dream of in my beads, and be happy of carrying
them. |
