JAPANESE CHIYOGAMI PAPER COVERED EGGS!

I have absolutely fallen in love with  Japanese Chiyogami papers!  Three of us gathered last weekend to learn from our crafty friend Kay Zywicki,  how to cover eggs with these delicious papers.  Thank you Kay for a wonderful introduction to the Chiyogami papers, letting  me take my pick from your stash, sharing your pattern and being oh so patient with us!  E-mail me if you would like the pattern (it really is the magic that makes this work so well!) and a bit of direction!   I bought these egg ornaments in this divided box which I couldn`t resist covering with a piece of faux bois patterned paper and a bit of washi tape.

VINTAGE EASTER IMAGE - EASTER THOUGHTS 1924

"Dear Ula, I hope you'll have lots of eggs to eat on Easter"

I'm not sure that you will get a good copy of the verse but what a sweet image to use on a project!  I have a few of these to share. 

I have missed visiting all of you the last while!  My "day work" has interferred with my papercrafting, imagine.  I can confirm that it is possible to suffer withdrawal from papercrafting!  Thank you so much for continuing to visit me when you weren't hearing anything back from me.  I don't typically respond to all of your comments but I do try to regularly visit your blogs, comment and follow you also.  If you are a follower here and I haven't been to your blog, it could be I couldn't find your site - so do send me an e-mail.  Have a cheery weekend and remember spring is REALLY almost here!
