Huevos de Pascua

So in keeping with my new policy of serious holidaying (not to mention looking around for any new holidays we can potentially claim some sort of attachment to), we've been having fun with Easter decorations. I decided to be crafty and Joaquin and I picked up some paper-mache eggs with the intention of painting them and then adding pictures representing names/metaphors of Christ. Lamb of God, Bright and Morning Star, the Alpha and the Omega, etc. But painting them turned into quite the project as you can see. They are all painted and some have their pictures on them. However it's been a long project and there was paint sitting on the kitchen table for many days. This was perfect fodder for Joaquin. True to his engineering

bent, Joaquin is much more interested in process than in the actual product. He doesn't really like to paint pictures, but he absolutely adores mixing colors to see what he gets. The amount of styrofoam bowls and paint we wasted! He did come up with some pretty colors though, my favorite was the periwinkle. Did you know that's what purple and blue make?
