Avant-garde Easter Eggs

April 13, 2009

Easter was spent this year in Panevežys with my cousins. When I arrived on Saturday afternoon, they had just finished decorating the eggs. Far from the usual Lithuanian eggs decorated using either beeswax or a scratching technique (which my Grandmother is famous for), they used onion skins, colored string and various herbs and flowers to make what I called avant-garde Easter eggs.

Not only were they beautiful, each one unique, but they began conversations and inspired communication at the table. There’s no better way to spend a holiday with family than around the table caught up in inspired conversation!
