Easter - Passover

 In tribute to both holidays I made a tiny display taking a little break  from other activities.  Before I show you this, I want to share with you a very cute pair of eggcups that my daughter
Nilly created. These are 1:1 scale.



I composed this little scene with gifts from Jennifer and Gonda.  I only added a bit of grass.


A basket with colored and chocolate eggs and a basket with gifts received from Monika, a chocolate Fimo bunny made by me and more chocolate eggs.  The chocolate teddies are painted beads.

Happy Holidays!



Daria sent me a Russian fun questionnaire with three questions to the craftsperson.  The person who receives it can make up three questions of his own to answer. Daria's questions are

1. Have you ever thought of selling your crafts?
   
2. Do you have a friend around you who caught the miniatures bug because of you?

3. Do you ever feel guilty about abandoning other duties in favor of spending time on crafting?

Answers

1.  No I never think of selling my crafts, I love giving things I made  to persons who
      appreciate my work. I also love making swaps.

2.  I don't think anyone became a miniatures crafter because of me, but I do have a few local
     friends who make beautiful miniatures and miniature scenes.  In fact,  only today a friend
     called and asked me if I'd like to take part in a gallery exhibition, together with her and a
     few other miniaturists. The trouble is they live in other cities, far from me.

3.  Dear Daria, there is never a moment that I don't feel guilty.  I am always behind with my daily
     house chores, I hate to return things to their proper place when I know I'll need them again soon,
     and my table always needs tidying up.

Since I'm allowed to pass this on to three friends, I choose AscensionMieke and Julia. I leave you
the same questions. You can, of course, change and ask questions of your on if you pass this on.

THANK YOU DARIA

A warm welcome to my new follower Carla Gabriela . Thank you for following.

  4. Hello Drora!
    thanks for answering :)
    Easter is all around, doesn't it?
    Here, in Russia, we do have other easter traditions: no chocolate bunnies and no chicks. Noone hides the eggs for kids - we just dye them and make a "battle" - Each chooses the egg, and hits the other person's one. The one that cracked - loses..
    That is why it's always so interesting for me to look at such easter scenes, like you did - they are great:)

  5. What a lovely Easter scene - and so special with all those lovely gifts from friends. Those eggcups of your daughter are stunning - and funny! Great way to start the day, having an egg out of these cups. And it was nice to read your answers to Daria's questions. Happy Passover to you and your family!
