Aysegul's fare tale

Once upon a time, as the camels were tale tellers and the pires were still coiffures, exactly at those times, in a small village of Egeis, Aysegul was born. It was the 28th of August. She grew up between the wooden chairs of her fathers summer movie theater. In that theater she watched so many movies. As she started to talk, she also started to sing. In their back yard that is filled with scant of jasmine and woodbines her father played accordion and she sang songs. Guitars are played and she sang songs. She sang many many songs. In Izmir, her teachers told her lots of things about natural arts. And later on gave her the thing adults call diploma.

Aysegul, with her long black hair, hopes as many as her hairs, in her hands only her talent, went to fur fur away to a huge city, called Istanbul. She produced collections to fur fur countries in big big companies. But big big companies were not for her. She chose to work independently. Until today, she made so many pictures that she opened in total 15 receptions to demonstrate them. She shared her feelings. She feared from blackener. She liked August beetle. Because August beetle was the musician of the fare tales. She sang songs together with very precious musicians of the jazz country behind the Mountain Kaff. She joined very important concerts with them. She made pictures, draw them, sang songs, draw herself, wrote lyrics, made songs, sang songs. She was the August beetle. She produced only one singe album. Everybody she loved played for her. She sang songs like fare tale to people.

She sang about hope, paper boot, love, and shared her feelings. She thought all the time that she is the Aysegul in tales. She liked her family, friends, moon, cotton sugar, phoenix,yellow wosvos, swinging horse, stars up in the sky, rooster candy, Captain Swing, her hairless baby dull, chocolate, red bicycle,wind, sea horse, Zagor, swallow,white vespa, sea,her cat Surmeli, and herself a lot. She bend n front of Mother Nature with respect. She behaved unostentatious and unostentatious the plainly people more. She hugged fraud together with cheers.

If you are asking what se is doing now? …. She is sewing her long black hair appareled with diamonds that she has borrowed from the stars. She wants to make presents to the world from new songs and new pictures. She is planning to play to skip on the clouds. Even if her age is bi g, she still wants to be able to look from the depths of her eye as a child. And she wants to share her feelings furthermore.

*******************************************

1001 Sacred Night Animals

Through the history of the civilization, primitive communities, nations and tribes, basically “humankind” gave meanings to animals.

Belief is very important for people. The beliefs have been decorated with folk tales, legends and mythology caused them to grow and enrich in time. Many communities’ beliefs existed with sacred animals. These sacred animals were believed to bring luck, fortune and also believed that they were protective and they possessed supernatural powers. They were symbols of many things like they were universal and their descriptions matched very well to the supernatural world. These descriptions were sometimes half man and half animal, sometimes a mixture of different animals and sometimes the animal itself.

They are the protectors that are immortal in tales, legends and in our dreams that we know and believe. Through the imagery time voyage, they have become jewelry, sculpture and many more figures like that where they entered into our homes, temples, places and our dreams. They are in our childhoods once we had and forgotten, in our afternoon sleeps that we were forced upon us, and in our most sweet sleeps at night. Anything, everything and being anywhere is possible with them such as, if we want we can go to the mountains to see what is behind a mountain; or we can go to the 7 depths of the ground or to the oceans. The animals can take us there and the only thing that we have to do is just simply want to go. Unlike us, they never ask for anything or ask us where we are going. They never ask your credit card number, your real estate list if you have one or your mother’s maiden name to be in your dreams because to ask these kinds of questions about such notions for them is a nightmare and shameful thing to do. They are unconditional, mystical, dignified, noble, and they convey hope and happiness. They are SACRED.

For a long time at night, I had my little inspiration fairies come at my workshop window continuously to deliver the stories of the animals while the city falls into deep sleep. Even though they were getting tired they still brought the stories to me with happiness and joy night after night. My fairies’ wings symbolized “God”, poverty, health, virtue, luck, and goodness that can bring tears to a heart and make that cold heart beat again. They are my surreal and extraordinary confidants. They sometimes brought stories from the heaven like the never ending dreams of Sehrazat in the 1001 night tales. Because of them my 1001 Sacred Night Animals will live and exist forever.

Now, they are here glided from the clouds to earth with their magnificence, beauty, glitter, innocence, virtue, fortune, charm, luck and sacredness all together for a short while just for your eyes to see.
