Gift ideas for Easter

Thursday, March 21, 2013 Viridiana Diaz Padilla 2 Comments







Hello everyone, need some ideas to decorate this Easter?

These eggs are easy to make and they look really nice. You'll will need lots of patience but it is really worth it.

I used 11/0 seed beads and a Huichol pattern, but you can create your own patterns adding the names of your loved-ones, or just by creating abstract colour combinations.

The Huichol people use wax and resin to make this kind or work - so that the beads stick in place. The pro is that it's easier to use than if you were to glue each bead, the con is they are very delicate - you must be careful when handling the finished work.

If you have any questions please contact me.

Go ahead. Use your imagination and arm yourself with lots of patience

A Mexican lost in Europe, rediscovering my Huichol roots through art and jewellery. Always happy to hear your thoughts.
