What is Rice Writing?
Artist and His Creations This talented Turkish-born artist has been perfecting the ART OF RICE writing since the early '90s. He writes and draws as neatly on rice as he does on paper! He is able to write any name(s) and message, no matter how long, all on a single grain of rice. Whether it's drawing an animal, a sport team logo, writing a message or simply a name, he can surely design something to fit anyone's interest. Once he's created something for you, he will put your rice grain inside a handmade blown magnifier-glass charm of your choosing and fill the charm with a special oil that preserves the rice. He then seals the charm tightly so no oil will leak out. You then get to choose what you want your work of art to be attached to. You can pick either a sterling silver necklace, bracelet or earrings; or any color beaded leather necklace, key chain, anklet or bracelet. At the end, you will have a tiny unique creation for you to enjoy or give as a gift.
This traditional Turkish art form is considered to be one of the many wonders of the world. It is said that many years ago a man wrote two hundred letters on a grain of rice with a single strand of hair. Supposedly, it can still be found on exhibit at a museum in Turkey.
Many believe that what is written on a grain of rice is meant to bring good luck and keep one away from harm.
