Turkish Art





We were lucky enough to come across this artist who set up for a few days in one of the stores in the alley. She is one of only 7 people in Turkey who know how do this type of art. It is painting on water. She trained under a master. We watched her do it and then for $20 bucks she showed Sydney how. Sydney said it was much harder than it looked. It was amazing to watch her slide it off the water and onto the paper. She also made silk scarves and ties. We could only afford a few bookmarks. A pretty unique experience.
