The Moroccan Palette

by rosedeniz February 15, 2009 design

Tweet Sephora’s new Moroccan Palette was just the thing to pull me out of a Sunday blah. I used to make paintings based on makeup colors, and even now reference cosmetics and adornment in my work. Taking a mental break from a marathon day of product photos and descriptions, data entry and attempting to get […]

So long, farewell

by rosedeniz January 29, 2009 design

Tweet Now, more than ever before, do we get the opportunity to reflect on how interconnected everything is. When one thing slips, everything tumbles. Sorry for the cliche visual. This came home to me yesterday when reading twitters and tweets and blog posts about Domino folding. I mean, I know that the milk I buy […]

Get the Look

by rosedeniz January 18, 2009 design

Tweet If other people plan their blog posts, I’m more of a fly by night blogger; when I see something that gets my attention I share it. Typically it is something that lands in my inbox with bright and pretty colors, so when I started receiving Etsy’s Get The Look email, it dawned on me […]

Tweet A little collage from some favorite things from 2008… a red journal in which I’ve been writing short stories, Topi and Lina in their favorite outfits, discovering my mother’s unused sewing machine cover in a box in my childhood home, a trip to The Henry Ford in Detroit, and lovely little tags by Bluebird […]

Back Home

by rosedeniz December 30, 2008 nesting

Tweet I’ve flown over the ocean and back, and am now awake at 3am reading design*sponge, clearing out my inbox and lamenting the fact that I have nothing involving pictures to blog about. My photos from our trip are all on a CD that I lent to my father-in-law because he took literally 100s of […]

Kiln Party

by rosedeniz November 27, 2008 design

Tweet Yesterday we enjoyed a delightful party celebrating Zeynep and Meryem’s new kiln that Nest helped them buy using a micro-loan. It was so exciting to see the first things that came out of the kiln. We all got interviewed by the local Golcuk newspapers, and I did my best in Turkish, and later were […]
