Easter Crafts

My easter tree.  Frank painted the cat egg this year.

The cat cards are for my boys, of course  

I painted these years ago when Ernest was little (the dude is 29 today!). The skirted rabbit is a copy of a catalog photo of a hooked rug. Thanks to the recent magic of google image search, I can credit the original artist Kelly B. Rightsell. I thought it needed a companion, with carrots of course, so I also made the jeaned rabbit. They’ve been tucked away for 20+ years but I thought they’d be fun to have out for Easter.

Valentine


I made a few cards.

I had a lot of pink ornaments, so I made a Valentine's tree.  I really enjoyed having it.  

I think I'll do an Easter tree next, with the family-made easter eggs.

Pink and Sparkly Returns

“Pink and Sparkly” returns!

I now have enough vintage ornaments to cover the entire tree. But where do the hooks go while in storage? I swear every ornament had a hook when I put them away last year.

New this year are two color-changing LED spotlights.

Christmas Cards

I made some Christmas cards this week.

I mostly used natural pigments I bought last year at La Compagnie des Ochres in Rousillon France.

Grinch

My Grinch is from 2018.
