A little spot of Springtime!

Inspired by the brief, albeit welcomed sunshine,

I brought out my few pieces of Springtime decor consisting

of chicks, eggs and bunnies.

I hesitate to call it Easter decor,

for none of these represent the

Truth of Easter.

A few flowers from the garden

 Sweet little golden chicks

 an assortment of eggs.

These are some first attempts at Pysanki (Ukrainian Easter eggs) that

I made ages ago. These are dark and not very

Springlike, as all  the pretty ones have been

given away.

These are some 'drilled' goose eggs

also made years ago,when I kept geese.

The eggs are blown out and cleaned

with a vinegar solution to whiten the shells

and dissolve the thick membrane lining the

inner shell. Draw a design on the shell

and with a Dremmel Drill fitted with a small

grinding bit, 'cut' out your design.

These are much prettier if sprayed with

a light coat of varnish.

If I ever get more goose or duck eggs

I will make some more and perhaps do a tutorial.

The chicks and eggs speak of the

'new birth' of Spring and

are a reminder of the New Birth

that we can have because

of the death and Resurrection

of our Saviour Jesus Christ!
