BIO
My screen name is bonbonish. My daughter, when she was a little girl, used to use bonbon as her screen name. I asked her permission to use her screen name with a little switch -- bonbonish. Because I am not as beautiful as she is... just bonbonish. I always liked to draw, paint and to sculpture. During the elementary school I had wonderful teachers in my 'art' classes, and I also had many extracurricular activities related to art. I liked very much the technical part of creating artwork... works with soft materials, hard materials, different paints and different pencils. At high school and after high school I took part in a lot of art workshops, where I had the opportunity to learn from great artists. I used to draw -- with carbons, crayons. I used to make soft sculptures -- from different kinds of materials and techniques. Some of the techniques I learned, some of them I developed myself. From the very moment I learned to write I was writing. Short stories, long stories, novells poems and scientific materials. Recently besides creating digital artworks -- I write children's stories and short scientific articles. "The Wild Virtual Enchanted Garden" is my recent children's story and I am selling it here at the RMP. I never looked art as if my major profession... Till my son has been diagnosed with cancer. In my professional life [Ph.D. in economics] I used to lecture... mostly about materials that I developed. While my son got all those nasty treatments and underwent numerous operations I had to stay next to him. I could not continue with lecturing. Several of my friends come to my rescue. They suggested that me to develop slides that contained my material and they will present those slides instead of me. I started to develop those slides... and I wanted them not just to contain nice written materials I wanted them to be pretty also ... I was looking for computerized graphic programs that could help me out... 3D graphics I started out with different kinds of free 3D programs, but I didn't stay with them... because lack of community support. I need people around me while I am creating something. Finally I found Poser 3 and later I upgraded to Poser 4 and till that day I stay with it. So, I guess I started out about 6 years ago creating 3D graphics... I found fascinating Poser ability to behave' as an acting stage -- where I can set up a whole sceen and tell a story with my image. And even I can animate that scene if I want to... 2D graphics I started out with Flash 4 ... As I already told, I was looking for a program that allows me to do pretty presentation slides. Flash was suitable for that. What's more, flash has lot of ability to manipulate pictures and vector drawings. I read a lot of tutorials from the Internet, and I learned how to use Flash pretty well. I used to buy royalty free images and incorporate them into my slides. Then I wanted to manipulate my bought images a little more -- and I found Photoshop 5 and Painter 5. Eventually I wanted to make my own images...and for that finally I found Poser. I like very much movies. And I like to read materials about those movies -- about the life of the actors, directors, about how the movie was developed, marketed and so on. I like to walk. I like to go the gym ... and I like to have a lot of conversations with friends and family.

Nancy, thank you so much for your wonderful comment :)... You know the worst part is that I used to hope that one day we will move to that city where Judit was to live... and we could be friends once again... and when it turned out that I was hoping for something that never could happen... I was devastated...
oiram
fantastic...

Thanks for the nice words... I see that there are several places that I miss-spelled her name... her name is Judit... without 'h'... sorry about the typo Judit, wherever you are...

Thanks for your wonderful comments... I re-read the notes and I noticed that I haven't write anything about the images I posted... I made that image as a tribute for Judit... You can see there are two women on the image... conversing happily... I imagined that if she was still alive and we still be good friends, we would have many wonderful conversations... I reall miss her...

What a heartbreakingly beautiful story!! And such a dear friend you are to pay such a loving tribute to your friend. She watches and protects you even now for honoring her memory...

Thank you for your nice comments... Since kindergarten I had made many friends... some remained my friends... some don't... but each time when I made a new friend... and I was checking my feelings... somewhere in the background was Judit's image... and I was comparing many aspects of a new friendship with those feelings I had when Judit was my friend. I remember... that sometimes I was ashamed of myself because of the comparing process. After all each of my friends stand on their own merit... Anyway, I remember that once when I was meeting my friends... we were talking about friendship. And than somebody told us that she read somewhere... that woman always searching for that ideal childhood girlfriend... even if they are searching for a suitable man for themselves...

Wow, Koty! First I want to say congratulations on Mapplejuice in the marketplace. I saw her in the new releaases. Second, I'd like to say that this is a really touching and heartbreaking story. I love the way that you tell your stories. It is a wonderful thing when someone touches our lives so much and leave such a big impression. I am sure that if she were here today, she would be very honoured that you think of her so well. Big hugs, hon! ~Meli

Thanks for the nice comments :)... You know I am wondering what I found most precious about Judit's friendship... and it seems to me... that what I found was that trust... I knew she will be there in front of our house on every morning when there was kindergarten... I also liked so much her caring... I knew that when I 'named' a flower... she would try everything that she would like that name... and was happy for me that I found an appropriate name... and it went vica versa... when she 'named' a flower... I did the same what she did...

You know Koty . I know that you printed some of these .But I think that you should really do a big book with them all . Your stories are always so delightful .I think that alot of people could use these to teach about good values ,freinds and family .Just my thought :)
