A blissful Easter to you!

Hello dear blogging friends and readers,

today I'm in the mood for a real Easter eye candy post, so I've scanned some of my fave pictures/illustrations for you to see!

The picture above is from one of my older "Marjolein Bastin" Nature calendars. I love her style very much! Isn't this a gorgeous rabbit and so very Eastere!

The next picture is the cover of a very old German children book called "Die Häschenschule" which means "The little hare school":

Doesn't it have beautiful illustrations?

I was very busy and in Easter mood while working in my studio these last weeks (always after work that is). See the mess on my desk? I so have to do a big clean up there and all around it too ha ha:

It is so much fun for me to create these paper Easter and Spring egg collages:

This big blue paper maché egg (filled with a ballon) is on I made a couple of years ago and I still like to use it for my Easter decorations:

But meanwhile my style has totally changed. The first picture in this post and the following 3 photos are of my latest paper maché egg creation called "birdie egg" :

And the side view:

I further have created these two paper egg collages for my new friend Jenny Holiday this week:

See the old German sheet music pages under the eggs? I've got lot's of them from a dear friend of my mum last week which has made me very happy and thankful! They are from her dad who passed away some years ago. I've already used them for the paper maché egg above and I'm also thinking of making some bundles for my Etsy shop if you like, they all look very old and beautiful!

I made one almost like this following egg before and normally I don't do the same egg twice, but because that one was already sold and Jenny liked it so much, I have changed some little things so that it's not the exact same egg as my first pink bunny egg. Dear Linda I hope you don't mind!

Lastly I like to thank all my dear blogging friends and readers who have bought some of my creations from my still quite new little Etsy shop during the past 3 weeks. It was and still is such an overwhelming feeling that you really like my creations so much that you actually buy them. That's awesome and makes me a very happy bunny! Thanks a million! :D

Now I wish you all, wherever you live, a wonderful, sunny and happy Easter time!

Back soon with new garden photos!

Hugs to you xox
