HAPPY EASTER !!!

Easter is a major religious festival of Christians that is celebrated in a grand manner with a big party time celebration. Every nation has its own way of celebrating a particular festivity. Every country has some peculiar traditions and customs.
The egg as a symbol of all beginnings is the main attribute of this holyday.
I am not religious in common concept, but I do believe in Universe forces and I think I obey all 10 commandments.
The shape of egg fascinates me. I was decorating real ones, painted them, even ostrich ones :-), carved them from wood and now I made some from clay.
As I love to make whimsical stuff, here they are my "eyes in the egg".

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS STORY WITH YOU.

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed
a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.

Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean.
The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said,”I made a difference for that one.” Loren Eisley

ONE FLAW IN WOMEN

My friend sent me this and I liked it so much, I decided to "keep" it here - for me and for all who will come.
Enjoy!
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men....
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in..
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

ENDLESS CAPABILITIES

Clay is a divine material. It obeys any hand move. You can press it, turn it, cut it, carve it, shape it, you name it! Stone and lace can be made from clay. And if Fire Goddesses will grand a permission for existence, your creation will bring a bright day to someone’s home.
I will talk about Fire Goddesses in next post, as it is a very serious subject :-)
I do love to make bells, they are my favorites, but sometimes I just go with a will of the clay and create something else. Here are pendants and more from my other Etsy site www.pendantsandmore4u.etsy.com

CERAMIC BELLS

I love to work with clay. There is always a mystery - what will be created? What character will appear? I love to make whimsical things. Bells are my passion.
They all have there own "voice". They say:” Better one time to see, then two times to hear" I would say:” You have to see and to hear my bells" :-)
I will be posting a video soon. Check it out later.
