In this case – the egg came first. I painted it with onion layers.
Wanted it to be all natural this time.
You can see how to made the hen from here – Krokotak.
The second egg wanted a different decoration, so it is – with plum blossom:
It has been long since the last time I posted music here. So here it is this nice song of Eros Ramazzotti, also with the great animated video.
The song has also another version in duet with the Spanish singer Amaia Montero (embedding was disabled, so there are only links). :-)
Reunited…
They are BIG, you know?
I thought the concert will never finish. Song after song, FNM were there on the beach of Bourgas, excellence beyond all expectations. All of them perfect, Mike Patton himself – unbelievable!
This time, I cannot say too much. It’s like this when you are simply happy. :-)
It was so beautiful while sometimes his shadow was projected over the giant trees near the stage… Hope somebody took a good picture of this.
The Man With Thousand Voices – he knows perfectly how to please the audience.

I am thinking about making such an exploding gift box for years.
It’s called “exploding”, which is quite an exaggeration, of course. Nothing to explode, though, only very nice effect on opening. :-)
I saw the idea on this website two or three years ago, but just bookmarked it then. Obviously the right moment to make it was the other day, when I finally decided to give it a try. The reason was the birthday of a very special friend, so I sat and started work.
There are people able to make it for less than an hour, but with me that’s definitely not the case.
The details took me a lot of time, because I really wanted it to be an exquisite one.
Well, I won’t say how long it took me to finish it, but it was worthy.
The recipient liked it very much and even said:
The best present! :-) It radiates the love that was made with! :-)
Hey, It’s wonderful to hear something like this! ;-)
Twitter seems like the big fat enemy of the blogging these days… More and more witty thoughts, precious and funny links you can find mostly there. But this is also a good thing, at least in theory: this means, that probably the blogs will start to get filled with less “noise” and with more valuable content from the authors. In theory. ;-)
Very soon I hope I’ll be able to present you with the big changes in molif.com – mostly “the clothes”, but also some part of the functionality, which I want to improve. I am considering to add Twitter updates as well, it seems like a good idea to me.
Recently I found (blameTwitter again) link to animation in YouTube. It was a graduation project of a student from the Ringling College of Arts and Design. Where it’s obviously the students are people with amazing skills, or maybe the teachers are excellent, or maybe both, I don’t know.
Following “related videos”, I spent the whole morning watching short animations. Most of them are great – they show skills, good ideas and talent and some of the things are as good as Disney/Pixar’s.
I have to admit though, that I am not a huge fan of all this 3D hype – and I don’t mean bad for Shrek, but there are just too many animation movies lately, which for me feel distant and cold.
Maybe that’s the reason why I liked mostly this particular video (Author: Lindsey Olivares – great gift she has and amazing skills!):
And since YouTube are getting more nasty lately with their country restrictions, thanks very much, Lindsey, for putting your animation also on Vimeo. :-)
Oh, and here is another beautifully made animation from Lindsey:
