Lavazza

I love this Lavazza ad I saw in Wallpaper magazine courtesy of Mygazines, where I can now read magazines that I can't get easily in Turkey! I adore the bright red lipstick with espresso cup.

OPP

I'm working on a new website via OPP, Other People's Pixels, which is why I haven't posted anything in ages, and oh, yeah, because I had a baby girl July 13. She's 20 days old today! Check out my other blog to see the little one and her jealous older brother, Topi... Deniz babies.

Back to OPP... they have cleverly tricked me into thinking I am designing my own website (cool) which makes me feel less inept in the world of website creating. I prefer to make pretty and embellish websites, not create them, so thankfully OPP takes the hard work out of it and just lets me upload with a click.

Stay posted for the change on my site, Rose Deniz, because I'll be combining my painting and illustration and design with my handbags and accessories. If it still says, Three new Limited Edition styles available! Thanks for taking a look, it's the old site.

May 08 Maison Francaise

Got some more love from Maison Francaise Turkey, this time for Pukka Living (www.pukkaliving.com). The photo of Ilgin and me was taken in Beyoglu, and I'm about 6 months pregnant. I think the layout is really cute - I like how my watercolors have been arranged in the text. Thanks, Ilgin!

Orgu bracelets featured

Ilknur and I are featured on a Treasury List by Ada Bead! Thanks so much, Berna!

another Anthropologie post

Another Anthropologie post, but what caught my eye is the illustration -- the collage of drawing and pattern, how this type of hand-drawn illustration work is becoming a trend.
