Easter Treasures
These delicate and fragile Easter eggs have been painted completely by hand in Turkey in a beautiful Art Nouveau style, known as Arts and Crafts Movement or “Style Liberty” in the United Kingdom. The eggs all have a solid background over which a stylised pattern of flowers in a William Morris style has been painted. The decorated eggs are then covered in a varnish to protect the fragile hand painted surface. The eggs are all painted in Turkey by one family, and then shipped to Australia. The family also make stylish wooden spherical Christmas ornaments with similar Style Liberty design.
I would like to wish all of my Flickr friends and followers a very happy Easter Sunday! May today be filled with lots of fun, laughter and if you go on an Easter Egg hunt may you find a treasured Easter egg... or two of chocolate or otherwise.
However amongst all the fun and frivolity and chocolate take a moment to stop and remember the reason for the season, whether it be religious, or the simple joy of being with the ones you love the most.
