Happy Easter!

Rabbits soft and cuddly
Baby chickens, too.
Easter eggs for baskets
White and pink and blue.
Easter cards of greeting,
Music in the air,
Lilies just to tell us
It's Easter everywhere.

Easter Eggs

The tradition of Easter eggs comes from an old Slavic custom dating back to pagan times. The best known example of them is the Ukrainian pysanka decorated using a wax-resist technique. I wanted to try something different this year, so I created a bunch of decoupaged eggs, applying tiny cutouts from pretty paper napkins to the undyded, white eggs.
