Happy Easter everyone...and a wonderful opening day (Go Cards!)My absolute favorite thing about easter, beside Malted Mini Cadbury Eggs, is dying eggs. I think it all stems back to Shibori in my Fibers classes in college. Thats right, while you were stressing over math class, I was learning the the ancient Japanese form of tie-dying. Its fun, and messy and yes my hands are still black from only doing these eggs yesterday. But it is fun as hell. I bought a cheap kit this year and didn't realize there were only 3 colors in the box until I opened it. I was disappointed at first, esp when the red didn't seem to work at all. But I think experimenting a bit really opened the gates for some color colliding fun. The flower design was a fun addition from last years creations. I bought some Martha Stewart scrapbooking stickers that were on sale at Michaels. They sure came in handy for some really cute designs. Other materials used were the round stickers that came with the kit and rubberbands to get that stripy effect.
Anyway, hope you enjoy my designs and today is the away home opening day for the Cardinals (in Cincinnati). I will be taking off next Monday to enjoy the home Opening Day Rally downtown. Couldn't be more excited for Spring. Started my garden on friday, baseball right around the corner...we are finally free of the bonds of winter!
Enjoy it!
