Abstract
Oya—colorful handmade borders on headscarves—are still part of the traditional textile jewelry of Turkish women today. In this article, we use a not so common oya pattern to show how ideas of shape and color are implemented. The exact imitation of nature plays a special role, as does a certain degree of abstraction. An important criterion for the color selection is a special abundance of colors, on the one hand, and on the other a strong limitation to a few colors. It is shown how creativity, routine, and careful consideration are the prerequisites of high-quality and attractive craftsmanship.
