The artist in us!(Gift idea)

I think I'm not mistaken when I say that most of us were "artists" when we were children.I remember it was so fascinating to take a colored pencil and draw something that didn't resemble what I wanted to draw at all :)

It is such a nice feeling when a child comes up to you with his or her drawing and proudly explains what each and everything is and looks at it as if it's a masterpiece.My definition of art is the will to create beauty out of anything.
I will start a series of posts about some nice gift ideas for that special someone in your life.
I started my blog as an "arts" blog,focusing on my portraits and other drawings. I remember drawing the first portrait I posted on my blog on Christmas Eve 2011. :)

Today,I can suggest you a gift that would bring a smile on the face of both children and adults.

Brookstone has this really awesome art set that is definitely suitable for children and grown-ups.You could give it as a present to your 6 year old nephew or niece,your teenage daughter or your artist friend.It is recommended for ages 3 and up and the great thing is that the colors are all non-toxic.
The set contains  18 colored pencils,8 watercolors cakes ,12 oil pastels, a sharpener and an eraser.

I remember loving oil pastels when I was a kid.It didn't matter how messy I would get after using them. I always used  them on my coloring books or just to scribble on a piece of paper.Then, when I got older I switched to colored pencils,which I still use now for my portraits.

I think this is a really fun,creative gift.I really love gifts that mean something to the person you're giving them to.I would get more excited for this than for chocolates or wine or home decorations :)

Maybe you will take this into consideration next time you have a birthday or a big event coming up.Bring a smile to an artist's face ! :)

 Hi, everybody! Happy New Year?I hope the holidays were great for all of you and,if not, things will get better!:) I know I'm not consistent when it comes to posting on the blog but sometimes I'm busy and sometimes I'm out of inspiration. The next portrait I will do will be of Shay Mitchell of Pretty Little Liars :) I'm not sure when it will be up ,but definitely this month (unless something unexpected happens) This month will be a pretty busy one for me as I have my first university exam session.I don't know if I should be scared. Considering there are subjects that I don't even know what are about, I probably should :) The session starts on January 21 and I will kick it off with a Grammatical Structures exam.In fact, it's the only  exam I actually think I'll do good in :) Another thing that happened in the month of December was this : I tried to dye my hair bright red but,obviously,that didn't turn out that great.I should have known tha...

Tourism- bringing the best out of the world!

As a young solo traveler, whenever I plan my next trip I somehow always end up focusing on big names on the map, such as London, Stockholm or some other capital city promoted on the Internet.I don't know how other travelers think, but I don't know if the small village of Sapanta  in the north of Romania( http://www.romanianmonasteries.org/maramures/sapanta ) is somehwere on their travel list.Or the small town of Medjugorje in Bosnia&Herzegovina.    Before turning 18 ,I went on many roadtrips with my father in my country ,Romania, and got to see almost all it has to offer.Yes,Romania is one of the ex-communist countries of Eastern Europe.And yes,it is behind Western Europe and the U.S. in many aspects.But what I have noticed in the small,poor villages I passed through were the tourists who realized that having a good holiday doesn't mean going to Paris. There were not as many as I wished there were but I think that Romania is slowly...

The artsy corner : Poetry

Hi guys! It's Friday once again and you know what that means: let's go dancing and have fun 'cause it's the weekend ☺ No,but really...a little dancing won't hurt. Today I was debating whether to make a Favorite Friday post or go with my artistic impulse.Guess who won..That's right, I want to share two sad  poems with you today. Why sad? Because that's the only way I write poems . Dance A single thought that makes your mind race fast And brings your wandering soul into the past Relive the moments,smiles and laughter And think again, before and after Where were your thoughts before we met? 'Cause all you eyes show is regret Don't waste a single minute more I needn't have shown you the door And as your thoughts go on each day They never stop,come what may No one I know would stand a chance To pull you up and make you dance Shade of grey It was a cold October night I saw your face in different light There  was a sparkle in yo...
