Last Bit of Easter:)

Before this year I only had two Easter pieces for my house. Both are ceramics that my grandmother made, one in 1982 and the other in 1996. I was definetly in need of a few things. This is the last Easter project, and I think I am set:)

This project is a kit that is made for a shelf. You would switch out the cutesy pieces depending on the season or holiday. I didn't really like the idea of putting this huge box shelf on the wall, but it sure does make for some pretty cute stand alone decorations:) And you get 5 for the price of one...I always like a good deal.

The set included a carrot, bunny, chick, and 2 eggs. Pretty simple but turned out better than I expected...especially since it doesn't have any glitter...and I really likes the glitter:)

Here are the unfinished pieces:




















I painted each piece and decided to use bright pastel papers for the eggs.  I used a light brown ink to edge each of the piece.  Seemed to make the pieces match my house...and as much as I like the glitter, to much can be a bad thing:)



Here are the finished pieces.  I added some ribbon ( I did get some ribbon with glitter poka dots on the little bunny), and a few rhinstones on the chicky.







And that is the last of the Easter crafts...for this year that is!
