The nice weather has returned here again today after a few dull and dreary days and it's been so lovely to be outside again. I hope it lasts until the Easter weekend.
Yesterday, DD and I spent a brilliant day at an Easter workshop run by the Lovin Ink ladies, Michelle and Janet and this is what we created.
The eggs are a plastic mould and have a chocolate outside, yes, real chocolate, and then the inside is painted and decorated with handmade flowers. Michelle taught us how to make 3D flowers including Orchids and snapdragons and we had a brilliant promarker tutorial from Kerry before we coloured our Tilda.
This is mine
And this is DD's. She keeps asking when she can eat her egg, but hopefully it'll last until next weekend.
Here are some of the flowers we made sprayed with various inks and mists. They are curled with a ball tool and layered up. Can you guess whose is who? I'll give a clue. I'm the conservative one!!
It was a lovely day with very good company and as always we learnt so much. Thank you ladies, we both thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

What fantastic makes. How lovely to be able to go to such things with a willing daughter!!
She clearly has your crafting talent.
Those eggs are amazing and the whole range of makes sound so interesting.

P.S. Let me have your address and I will send you half of my garden. I would probably still have too much if I had only half!! LOL!!!
Wow! These are fantastic, Lisa! Absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE the flowers! Are they made with punches?

As always Lisa it was fabulous to have you and the very talented Freya at our workshop. Both such amazing crafters Freya leaves us speechless with her ideas and confidence you are one heeluva Mum thats for sure x Gorgeous to see your finished creations x Janet
Oooh, I bet you had the best time Lisa. These makes are so pretty as well as being seasonal ............ and edible, lol!
I've only ever managed one workshop at The Stampman and never had time to fit another one in. Maybe after the wedding I might be able to get to another one.
Freya did extremely well too I love her flowers and her egg is beautiful.

Hi Lisa, these eggs are gorgeous. I'm going to a retreat held by the Lovin Ink girls - at Bolton Abbey - and so looking forward to it. Might get a chance to make these lovely flowers too. Elizabeth x
Hi Lisa, got to agree with you about the weather we are having - and it looks set to be fine over Easter too which makes a very nice change! It would be lovely to meet up if we get a chance - the date of the retreat is 16-18 September - it's a treat from my husband :) Elizabeth x
What a fabulous idea! Yours and Freya's flowers are gorgeous! I love the colours - so pretty. Sorry it has taken me a while to get here. Have a great Easter weekend!
Yours must be the top flowers then?!
Gosh, I'd be a bit upset to eat one of those egg after all the effort that's gone into them!
Hope you have a lovely easter, xxx
The eggs are so sweet! Love all the flowers too
