...because she made this for my birthday:

I just took a photo of it with shitty lightning and all (it's 2 AM here), it looks a LOT better IRL 
She doesn't know what SC / SC2 is (yet), so she used this image as a source:

I'm not sure what the correct term is in English for how she did it. It's some kind of enameling - if I would translate it word for word from Hungarian, it would be "fire enamel-ware" (tűzzománc if you cared).
Whatever it's called - it's awesome. She's awesome. This is an awesome birthday present.

She also made me some lemmon-yoghurt muffins which tasted gorgeous, but that's hardly relevant on an SC site 
Wow, even Rekrul approves - thanks!

According to her, it took 3 days with a few hours of work each day.

Nope, sorry I don't think it's a good idea to be posting your GFs pictures randomly on the internet.

I thought it was a cake was well =/. Instead it's decidedly less delicious, but way more permanent.
That's awesome work though, definitely a keeper .

Oh man I thought it was a cake as well...
Man frame that shiet, hang it on your wall as your "love painting/artwork" to remind you of how much you care for each other. Sounds cheesy I know, but she'd appreciate it

It's already under way (as soon as I get around to it, maybe not tomorrow) - my room looks plainfully bleak anyhow, and this would be quite fitting 
She also promised me SC-related drawings upon seeing how glad I was when she gave this to me - if she has some time to spare. So I guess, stay tuned for that too.

Congrats man, that is really cool looking!
|
Damnnnnn that is awesomeeeeeee
|
Well thats awesome looking picture (??) and GF
|
lol... man. That proves one thing. She's a keeper.

You have reason to brag  Happy birthday Naib
|
If you guys can find me on facebook and somehow convince me to add you, then you could see some of her pictures with some detective work. That's the most I can offer, I abide by my own set of rules of not posting her pictures anywhere else

food that tastes "gorgeous". thats the most creative way to describe food i've heard all year.
im really curious how this was done. obviously, i dont understand hungarian, but the method makes me think... a form of pottery? encaustic? or maybe mosaic, but that sounds unlikely.
|
I thought it was a rug. lol
It looks like you laid it out on the floor. O:
I think you need to take some better pics of it. So she painted/drew it? I wonder what materials she used.
|
That's pretty damn cool.
And hah, i automatically assumed it was a cake. That was such a good contest.
|
Wow.. That's so nice Wish I had a gf like that (I am single)

I guess food tasting "gorgeous" might be due to my extreme tiredness (but still, I felt I have to blog this asap ).
As for how it's done: Enameling - I guess at least. I haven't asked about the specifics, and the reason for the "fire" prefix (if it's any different from the wiki link I don't know, but the picture there looks similar to my GFs work of art.) It's basically painting on a glass, but that's kinda the oversimplification.

I laid it out on my computer desk, and took a picture of it from above. Maybe I'll take a better pic when I frame it and put it on the wall.
As for your question, I think the wiki link is close to the truth but I'm not sure - I'll ask her tomorrow.

ah, that's pretty cool. its awesome having gfs with real talent :D
|
|
|
Wow, very very nice gift. I want one (both the picture and the gf)
|
Wow! This blew my mind, I thought it was cake at first aswell but wow, major props to your GF, That's so cool, I'd love to have one, maybe she should start up her own business catering to nerds that want enamel paintings done?
That's so cool.
