Here is a little about the oil needlework process in Anatolian Turkish master craft textiles families. the art of oya, or the making of Turkish needle lace. According to Figen, oya is short for igne oyasi (pronounced eeneh-oyasi), which loosely translates to mean “to embellish, to craft something that takes time.” Oya, a form of intricate crochet that often involves the use of a short sewing needle, thread and knotting, has been around for centuries. It likely dates back to the days of the Ottoman Empire (1300-1900), when it was common for the arts to be emphasized in architecture, home decorating, textiles and literature. The center of decorative arts was in Anatolia, otherwise known as Asian Turkey. Today women in Anatolia and throughout Turkish villages still practice oya as a way to decorate scarves and headgear, to trim items for a bride’s trousseau, and to create beautiful fiber art jewelry. On Etsy, you can see beautiful examples of what some call the most difficult form of needlework in the world. If you click on any of the images in this post, you’ll be taken directly to the shops of the needleworkers. The author of Needle Lace Flowers spent her childhood summers in Istanbul, where her maternal relatives lived and where she was exposed to shopkeepers and flower sellers who wound scarves about their heads, embellished with amazingly colorful and detailed trims that looked like real flowers. This was Figen’s introduction to oya, but it was not until she became an adult that she dared to learn the art herself. She learned from Turkish housewives in her neighborhood, and her first attempts looked nothing like the work her tutors produced. She persisted in her efforts to learn the art of oya, however, and today can make flowers and leaves with a fair amount of skill. once upon a time when women were expected to be silent about their feelings, it carried the weight of a secret language. “Of all the traditional needlecrafts,” says Figen, “oya is probably the most ‘vocal.'” Each oya motif has a specific emotional message or meaning. For example, a new bride who was unhappy with her mother-in-law might wear a headscarf trimmed with gravestone motifs. In Turkey, oya needle lace is made almost everywhere, and the tools used to make it differ from village to village. Sometimes fine crochet hooks are used, but it is not unusual to see needle lace made with round bone or wooden shuttles. Traditionally, oya was made using silk thread, but today it is more common to use more readily-available cotton thread, especially a number five perle cotton Please feel free to message me with any questions.
