Easter eggs decoration can be a form of art since aesthetics is the main ingredient in their creation. Although we just kicked the winter holidays around the corner, we should start thinking of Easter and Spring break since in a mere two months we will be celebrating them. Easter is also the celebration of spring and nature awakening and with this revival of the senses we also get inspired to create more and to enjoy art in our daily activities. This time of the year we get inspired by flowers, the colours of the blooming trees and of course the joyful mood of nature. All these senses are a great source of inspiration and we get to apply this in our home and garden decorations.
