Week 12
Thursday, March 27th, 2008
The block this week represents Easter Week, an important time in Australia, both for its religious significance and for the four day weekend which most people enjoy. The egg shape represents both the Easter egg symbol and also the tomb where the body of Jesus was buried with the red opening of the empty tomb. There is a hill in the background with the cruxifix and the other two crosses. ( Australians eat chocolate eggs by the millions as part of their Easter rituals, whether they are religious or not). The egg is made of a wonderful black and white print hand appliqued on. It is very versatile, one of my favourites.
