Egg and Bunny Time!

As Easter draws near our family is bringing out our eggs from past years to add to a rather giant 'nest' construction that adorns our main table at this time of year. I love the process of unwrapping each egg as if it was a treasure from past years and carefully placing it within the nest. We add our latest dyed, painted or collaged eggs as well as fresh autumn leaves, rose hips and moss from our garden.

A couple of years ago we painted and collaged tiny oval boxes as a small Easter gift for a local store and kept a small one with us as part of our Easter collection at home.

In Tasmania the beautiful Autumn colours are rapidly appearing in the garden but the days are still quite warm and gentle - perfect for relaxed family times together.

May this Easter be a safe and comforting time for everyone and shared with family and friends.

Change of Seasons

So it is officially Autumn! The sun is still shining in Hobart, Tasmania and to date there is very little change of colour in the trees but the days are beginning to noticeably shorten.

We have been incredibly busy making nests of late and it is heartening to have so much interest in our little nature creations. As Easter is on its way we are also creating some more of our eggs that are covered in vintage book papers and maps. As a limited edition we are also adding drawn elements to one or two eggs to create a unique and dramatic effect. These photos show the front and back of one of these eggs.

Below is a photo of one of our recent tiny nests we have made. This one sits comfortably in cupped hands and would look lovely nestled under a glass dome or sitting amongst a collection of favourite found objects.

We hope you are enjoying the changing of the seasons where ever you are - Autumn and Spring are definitely our favourite seasons of the year.
