Starbucks Coffee in Beijing China - Photographed by Eaton

 


Do you know what is this building? The 5 characters on the black board is Starbucks Coffee in Chinese. I was attracted by the design when I traveled to Beijing last year. Very different from our American Starbucks Coffee Shop. This is how our Starbucks Coffee Shop look like in China. I hope you enjoy it!

    Just out of curiosity, but does the Chinese Starbucks Coffee translate directly to Starbucks Coffee or is there a bit of interpretation?

Souvenir Sheetlet - Birds

Image
This beautiful artwork consists of 6 stamps which shows 6 kinds of rare birds in China. It was issued in April 2008. This artwork is a meticulous painting. I really like the beautiful colors used by the artist. Of course, it is very valuable to keep the whole set as the way it is. If you need a postage to a mail a letter, you never use this kind of souvenir stamp. This is for collection. I want to know if you like it.

Art is a Way to Relax

Image
I enjoy art! whenever I feel stressful, I love do some artwork to help me relax and think of beautiful things. With or without colors, a painting can always help me to enjoy my own world and stay away from the chaos. I don't know when my passion for art began, I just know I love art because it is something that doesn't limit my imagination and "weird" thinking. When I was a child, I went to the beach with my parents. My mom gave me a bucket and a beach ball to play with. Another child who had the same toys  put sand in the bucket and threw the ball on the beach. I put the beach ball on top of the bucket and gave it to my mom as a huge ice cream cone. To me, everything could be a piece of nice artwork. Just like this painting above, a couple of colors can make you feel that you stand in front of the ocean or fly in the sky.

My Stamp Collection

Image
  Stamp collection is one of my hobbies since it is really art related. When I went to Beijing China to visit my grandma, she gave me a whole set of stamps as my birthday gift. I just realized that from one stamp I can learn a lot of things! Of course, the first thing I noticed is the art design, history and culture, even historical events. This stamp is older than me. It was issued before I was born in the year 1996. This design is Dunhuang Murals- Buddha with a thousand hands. On the stamp you can see that the stamp's face value is only 500 cents in Yuan (about $0.8), but it becomes extremely valuable now. I truly admire the beautiful design. I would say that this not only a beautiful souvenir stamp but also a religious art. Dunhuang is a world cultural heritage. Those artists who designed this stamp "invited" the artwork from the wall of the cave to the paper. I hope you enjoy this beautiful artwork!
