Întunecate, murdare, deprimante – în tot Bucureştiul poţi găsi astfel de pasaje care duc oamenii spre casele lor zi după zi, sezon după sezon, an după an. Asta este tot ce putem avea? Eu zic NU!!! Am un vis si vreau să-l împărtăşesc cu voi! În februarie 2012, am venit cu această propunere pentru a […]

Dark, dirty, and depressing passageways taking people to their homes, day after day, season after season, year after year. Is that all we can have? I say no!!! I have a dream and I would like to share it with you! In February 2012, I posted this proposal for a mosaic mural. Because of lack […]

La multi ani de florii si de Pastele catolic!!! A trecut ceva timp de cand nu v-am mai scris! Sper ca v-a fost lafel de dor de mine cat mi-a fost mie de voi! ❤ Stiti cum viata ne poarta pe drumuri interesante si uneori, deloc planificate. Ei bine, atunci cand ma asteptam mai putin, […]

Happy Catholic Easter! It’s been a while since I last wrote to you! I hope you missed me as much as I missed you! ❤ You know how life takes us on interesting and unexpected paths, sometimes. Well, when I least expected it something wonderful happened! I met a friend that has a friend that […]

After a couple of days of grouting and cleaning and grouting and cleaning, here is the long-awaited Gaudi-inspired terrace mosaic bench. Before & After
May 31, 2014
In-between the way too long periods of rain, I did manage to squeeze in a bit of work on the mosaic bench. This is how it looks like with the mosaic on it. Does it remind a bit of park Guell as planned? Next step, the grouting. And we’ll be done! Excited to see the […]

While waiting for some sunny days, I remembered I haven’t showed you another social project I spotted. A bunch of cement block on which people sit in a park close to my home. Doesn’t it scream for a mosaic project? Any suggestions? I was thinking of the 4 seasons’ theme, since there are 4 lateral […]

Remember I was looking for a theme for the mosaic terrace bench on my best friend’s terrace? Well, as usual, I like thinking of my “client’s” personality and interests and get inspired from there. It is him, after all, that is going to see it most often, and it is crucial that he likes it. […]

A few weeks back a friend asked me to create a mosaic birthday present for one of his best friends. The only information I had was that he is interested in geo-politics and likes the color yellow. I searched the web for geo-political symbols and got the globe. And since the “yellowest” continent is Africa, […]

I’ve been wanting for a long time to do a bigger project. Remember the Mosaic Mural Proposal? Well, the approvals I needed to get stopped me in my way. However, I do have a best friend with a gorgeous terrace. And on that terrace there is a cement bench just waiting to be mosaic”ed”. I […]

About a year ago I finally went on a Portuguese trip that I always wanted to take with one of my oldest friends. I was mesmerized by the painted tiles that were everywhere. As I returned from this trip, I wanted to experiment with something else than mosaic, something more sculpture-like. It was a difficult […]

For some time now, the big, heavy, funky necklaces keep on being fashionable. I always wanted to try making one myself. After having experimented with the beaded lampshade, I also managed to find some time for pampering myself. I started experimenting with different models and let them flow not from my head, but from my […]

As nature comes to life, we remind ourselves to pamper not only ourselves but also our lovely green companions. This flower pot I actually made for my mum’s house, as she loves the blue/brown combination of colors, but I now find that it finds itself much better in this little tea-time retreat area. And here […]

Although I haven’t been posting for a while now, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been keeping busy. So, in the next few weeks I plan to update you with my latest projects for friends and from around the house. Today’s project is a lampshade do-over – a delicate and special project for a delicate and […]

Today is the International Day of Happiness! I like having little reminders like this that make me think about the valuable things that I take for granted. I started this blog to share my joys with you, hopefully to inspire you to create your own or just to enjoy a beautiful thing that just came […]

Intr-o zi, acum cateva luni, am descoperit in fata apartamentului meu un bust de manechin parasit. Destinul sau era trist, asa ca l-am luat in casa cu gandul de a-I oferi o noua viata. Am vazut cateva proiecte de arta ce foloseau manechine parasite foarte dragute. Iata-l si pe al meu! Bustul pe care l-am […]

One day, a couple of months ago, outside my apartment I found a deserted bust. Its destiny looked grim, so I thought of taking it in and giving it a new chance. I saw some very nice art projects done using these deserted mannequins. Here is mine! The found bust: The design (my inspiration came […]

Astazi este ziua unei foarte apropiate prietene. La multi ani, sexy! Niste prieteni foarte apropiati de-ai nostril i-au pus porecla de “Flamingo”. Da, pentru ca are picioarele cele mai lungi pe care le-am vazut vreodata!!! Ei bine, deoarece toti prietenii apropiati trebuie sa aiba o lucrare semnata de mine, m-am gandit sa-I fac cadou un […]

A very dear friend’s birthday is today. Happy birthday, babe!!! Some close friends of ours gave her the nickname of “Flamingo”. Yes, because she has the longest legs I’ve ever seen!!! Well, because all my dear friends have to have a signature piece of mine, I thought of giving her a painting of a flamingo. […]

O foarte draga prietena s-a gandit sa-i ofere uneia dintre cele mai bune prietene ale ei un tablou drept cadou de ziua ei. Si pentru ca a vrut sa fie o surpiza speciala s-a gandit sa ii ofere un tablou personalizat din mozaic. Asa ca a apelat la mine. Am inceput, evident, cu Photosopul! Cui […]
