Happy Easter

"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die."
-- John 11:25-26

The time of spring, new life and new beginnings.


Here is a little project I made to celebrate the holiday. I found the egg at Michaels. It's like those pumpkins you can get there and carve. It was a not so attractive blue :P So I spray painted it and added the Prima lace. The inside of the top also has lace lining it.


Inside there is a special little surprise. A bunny holding a new born chick. I made these little guys out of polymer clay and painted them with acrylic paints. All of the flowers are Prima. The large flowers were white and I altered them first with Cadillac Pink Glimmer Mist then hand painted Apple Glimmer Mist on the tips. I wanted them to match the cherry blossom flowers.


The little eggs are also made from Polymer clay and painted with Chalkboard Glimmer Mists. I wanted them to still have a translucent look to them.

I stained the wood base with a Red Oak stain. (Hint if your finish is too dark and you want to take out some of the stain. Heat it with your heat gun. On unfinished wood the stain will seep back out of the wood and you can quickly wipe it off.)


Here is a close up of the two new friends. Don't those Prima Aire flowers work perfect in their little world.


The grass they are sitting on is actually Donna Downey Prima flower trim. I altered it with (Sprout) Chalkboard mist.



I wish everyone a happy and safe Easter weekend. God Bless
