#3 These Sweet Easter Eggs
Pictolic got in touch with Elena from Faunaclay, who made some of the Easter eggs featured in this list and she was kind enough to answer some of our questions. Firstly, we wanted to hear more about how she started making handcrafted items.
“I started my creative career with handmade ceramics, or rather with mugs with drawings of animals. After a while, I began to sculpt animals from polymer clay, as well as to draw on wooden saws. My theme is the animal world as if it were wild or domestic animals. I love to create animal pieces, each of which is unique and created entirely by hand.”

“With these animals, I want to convey the admiration of the world, its tiny and beautiful creatures, and nature. Each item has its own story behind it, which makes it alive,” she shared. While the internet is full of people sharing their cool DIY projects, Elena is one of the rare people who made it more than just a hobby.

#9 Happy Easter. I Had Great Fun Dyeing These Eggs And Painting On Them. I Used Red Cabbage, Onion Peels, And Stinging Nettles To Dye Them, And I Love The Colors
So if you are inspired to get into some DIY work but have struggled to pull it off, decorated Easter eggs are a great way to start. So we asked Elena to share a bit more about her process. “I paint wooden eggs,” she explained. “The egg should be smooth and dry. First, I sketch with a pencil. Both acrylic paints and acrylic gouache (Holbein) are suitable for coloring.”
