Easter is coming... again...

Several years back I learned a little Pysanky (Ukranian egg painting) and ever since I have wanted to spend (at least one) Easter doing it again. The dream is to sit around with friends and family, eat and decorate eggs. I have yet to find anyone willing to do it with me.
I was never that good at it but that didn't stop me.The results are typically spectacular since everything looks good shiny. So I pulled these 3 eggs out of my egg bowl for the picture today... (I am honoring my commitment to stop ignoring old art I made) ...  The tools are interesting, and I forget what they are called. You have this little pipe thing you put the wax in, you melt it over a candle and draw. Its difficult, but interesting. You get better with practice. The dyes are different then typically used at Easter, they are very intense colors, and they are toxic. You blow out the eggs after you dye them with one tiny hole, and throw the insides away. Its a great process, especially if you have patience.

Dear Hubbies Flute rack and an assortment of flutes

My dear husband John made this flute rack and all but one of the flutes, cept the third one down that is in it. The bottom flute is a drone flute that sounds really pretty its two flutes in one. He does not blog or show off his work, so its my responsibility to do so!  BTW.. he has also made some nice hand drums too.

Funky grandma.... a new old doll

I made this little lady the other day out of polymer clay. She is made from some really old funky sculpy, really nasty to work with .. could barely budge it. Couldn't find my tools either so I used whatever I could because I desperately wanted to make something!  I wanted her to look like a very old toy, and she does.
I will add a pic of her head sometimes, you can't see her hair here but she has a bun and it looks cool.
BTW... she is sitting in the giant spice rack my husband made me.
