Water Pipe ( eastern)- Help needed
I'm looking for some time now for a minature waterpipe.
In our part of the world its called :Nargila .I found that it's also called Shesha or Hooka.
Do you dear reader have any Idea where can I find something like that? Ebay doesn't.
you are lucky! I know that Sans and Pubdoll have some Hookas in their post some month ago. I don't know when, but you can search their blog with hooka I think. I will look for it too.
Thank you Petra- I think I saw this today after I blogged! I'll try her - hopefully it wont be 1000$ ( thats what big ones are) Talk with you soon Neomi
Hi Robin Good news! How can I see a photos and get some details? I looked at your site and profile but couldn't find any E mail. pls contact me here or through my email! Thanks Neomi
Here's a link to my hooka. http://www.etsy.com/listing/45567537/needle-felted-blue-caterpillar-and-his I used a chess piece as the base. But I think you could glue bead findings together for the whole thing. You could run a head pin or wire through the center to support it. I hope this helps. ~Robin
Hi Neomig, I also made mine from beads :). Do you want to try it on your own? The previous ones that I have don were modelled after the Turkish pipes. And very recently , I did one based on an old tribal Indian pipe that was home-made. I will show that one in a later post. Maybe I will pop over and let you know when I do that :).
Hi Sans Thanks so much for your help! In Israel we have mainly glass nargilas: Clear and decorated.I'm going to try make some as you both advised! Best Regards Neomi
