About Easter

When looking for Easter themed beads most brands have at least a few designs that would fit. Trollbeads appears to have most varied designs with a few (rereleased) retireds taken into account. Most of these Easter symbols are universal, a few are specifically religious Easter symbols, like the cross, the lamb, the rooster and the palm leaf or continent specific like the Australian Easter Bilby.

Oh! Very nice! and what about the russian egg from RBF?

Most members know about that one already and I wanted to show eggs, if any , that are traditional balanced and smaller sized...

Amazing, the Fabergé egg is $ 10,- less than at Ohm's own site?

Added -cause too late last night- names of the pictured beads and some nice info about Easter etc.

FYI:
RBF also has 2 cute little eggs in a nest in SS !!!

That is a stunning bead.

I so like your wording admin............I saw the RBF bead and loved it but didnot like the balance. Shame..so I agree traditionally balanced as the keyword.

I found these two on Katiescharms.com. I don't know about the quality because I have never ordered from this store. They cost is about $20-$25USD

Once you start looking for eggs they're everywhere. But since Trollbeads has the dangles also bottom up like RBF, I thought about these Ohm versions. The patina is great.... but I'm trying to be good and pass on the hype of eggs for Easter... well apart from having them this Sunday for breakfast that is...

I've taken the big cross and some of my TB silvers to do a design later on... Also I love how some religions pick up aspects of centuries old pagan customs for religious holidays. However DH wonders why on earth I would wear a symbol of torture ...


Gray days here so I have edited these a bit...

There's also the cute Silverado 'Feet First' which is my fav for Easter:

Love this one best!

I love the bilby and feet first is darling. They both can be used all through the springtime. April on my credit card.

There used to be a cartoon on Saturday mornings I think with a little chick that had it's feet sticking out called Shelldon he reminds me of that.

This makes me think of "Happy Feet" . I think you are right... this is so easter !!!
