Hello friends!! Anagha here.
 I have not contributed to the blog from a long time & I feel bad about it. Soooo.....
coming back to my topic, I'm sure you people must be aware about the celebrations that take place on Sunday,on  the 20th of April. Easter is celebrated on this day. 
Easter is a celebration  of the ressurection of Jesus.There is a custom of gifting eggs( both the chocolate & the shell of the hard-boiled ones). The custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates
new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the dead. This miracle showed that life could win over death.For Christians the egg is a symbol of Jesus' resurrection, as when they are cracked open they stand for the empty tomb.Eggs were always thought to be special because although they do not seem alive, they have life within them especially at springtime when chicks hatch out.
Lata Aaji asked me to paint some eggs for Easter & so I got to the job. I had so much fun painting them!!! 


So, going with the custom, I just visualized myself breaking these eggs( because I did not dare break them...) and I made....

....a collage!!!!
There are some really cool things you can do with the eggshells that I have not tried yet, like-
a mini plantation!
an ornate hanging..
an exquisite jali design!

an Egyptian Pharaoh
&
many other such things....
I never really celebrated Easter, but this year I certainly enjoyed myself!!!!
