\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We arrived in Turkey last Wednesday and have been fighting jet lag, and an opressive heatwave, ever since.\u00a0 Two days ago I fell asleep while sketching ideas for my first Artist’s Trading Card.\u00a0 Producing something has been tough but I now have\u00a0something .<\/p>\n

One thing I had read before we arrived in Turkey was that women do not cover their heads like they do in other Muslim countries.\u00a0 I now realize this was a misinterpretation.\u00a0 I should have understood that foreign women do not need to cover their heads when in Turkey (except when visiting a mosque).\u00a0 The majority of women cover their heads.\u00a0 It is mostly with a light, silky scarf, probably because of the heat.\u00a0 I wonder if the\u00a0scarf material will change with the seasons?\u00a0 The small sketch above is from the balcony of the pension we are staying at, looking out over a street that heads towards the mosque.\u00a0 The call to prayer had just happened and possibly the women walking towards the mosque were going to pray.<\/p>\n

These weekly sketches are being done on Artist’s Trading Cards.\u00a0 They are 2.5 inch by 3.5 inch cards and are intended to be traded with others that produce cards.\u00a0 I chose to do these sketches in this size because the works are small and portable, great for traveling.\u00a0 If anyone is interested in trading please post a comment and we’ll talk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
