Creative Boil-over

[akirlu]

Naturally, the urge to dye, paint, rubber-stamp, wax, bead, or otherwise create a whole bunch of pretty eggs for Easter would land on me only today. As if I have nothing else to do this weekend. On the other hand, it's been something like a month since I had a weekend not gobbled up whole by conventions, house guests, committee meetings, or other obligations, however charming. The 2-year-old fingerpaint queen that rules my soul wants some time running the show again. There must be something pretty made this weekend or I shall scream. Maybe I can channel all this pent up creative foment into making up the curtains for the living room, then.

Why yes, I suppose it could be read as ironic that I "don't have a convention" taking up all my free time on Easter weekend. But aside from some table time for Clarion West, I don't feel much like Norwescon. Not if I could be home hot-gluing florist jewels to a mirror frame, anyway.

Possibly I could scratch that pretty eggs itch by getting some heat-shrink plastic Pysanka egg sleeves to decorate Easter eggs. Instant pretty, though not a lot of creativity involved. I do wonder if the Ukranian grocery in Kent carries them, though...

The idea of egg sleeves appeals to me enormously. But only if they were sleeves in the form of eggs. Why should leg o' mutton have all the fun?
