A novel and private present to give at vacations and big occasions is hand painted jewelry boxes.  It will be a rewarding experience for you as the creator of the gift, as well as providing years of enjoyment for the receiver of the gift. 

Hand made gifts are actually 2 gifts in one package.  The 1st is definitely the physical present, while the second is the thoughtfulness behind the actual creation of the present.  The present can be specifically tailored to the tastes and interests of the receiver, making it really a personal expression.  Even for those who may not be particularly crafty or creative, painting a jewelry box can be a straightforward and fun project that has gorgeous results. 

The box itself can be bought in rough form from a natural wood creating store or from a craft store.  All the construction of the jewellery box will be complete, with only some light sanding required before the painting can start.  Another alternative would be to scout around at yard sales, estate sales or even Goodwill stores for old jewelry boxes that have unique characteristics or features and then turning them into artistic endeavors from your own hands.  Hand painted jewelry boxes can be simply transformed from used, beat accessories into new and exciting gifts. 

you’ll say that you aren’t so great at creative painting, but even that aspect is not a problem.  Craft stores and malls will be offering templates and stencils in numerous patterns that you can use to transfer pictures onto the jewellery box ; making it really a singular item.  This is especially favorable when a certain theme is a favourite of the person who is to receive the gift ; animals, flowers, shapes, symmetrical figures or other kinds of patterns can be chosen to match the interests.  To complete the hand painted jewelry boxes fashioned in this way, you may simply apply the paint to the preformatted picture.  Of course, if you want to exhibit your creative flair, you can always use freehand strategies to color the box. 

Giving hand painted jewelry boxes can be a considerate and unique present which has special meaning to both the giver and the receiver.  It’ll take some hours of your time in making the present, yet will offer years of pleasure and use for the person lucky enough to receive it.

Music can bring out such strong and mixed emotions from every listener. A listener also appreciates certain music over other. A listener will find some music to be horribly and some music to be great. What determines a listener to perceived a piece of Music to be a great work of art? What determines a listener to perceive a piece of music to have no beauty?

It seems music has to be structured right in order for a listener to appreciate it. A music with wrong structure, whether is be bad rhythm or bad placement of noted, becomes a burden to listen to. What in our minds determines the structure that music has to have in order to be appreciated? Please explain why.
If you find this interesting, please do not forget to star. Thanks.

Mawia, i value your input but I wish I could make myself more clear. I just want to know how the brain functions when it perceives music. Why does some music sound good and some music sound bad?

Consider this: Evelyn Glennie – deaf concert percussionist

Beethoven, at the end of his life – was deaf – the music was all in his head.

Music does not have to heard to be enjoyed, it can be imagined.

You seem to have asked a chicken or egg question. The brain’s functionality is affected by music – see link below for more info.
