Genre Easter Eggs from Quarantine

2020-04-08 Josée Bellemare 1 Comment

During my isolation I decorated a dozen Easter eggs.

The first one was a dragon egg. Since the thumbtacks I found were gold I didn’t want to completely cover the egg so I lightly dry brushed it with red paint and gold glitter. I finished with a coat of varnish.

Then I did a set of eggs that are shaped like cut crystal and come in the colors of the rainbow. So red, blue, yellow and green were used for the Hogwarts house colors with sequins, the purple was decorated in usual Easter colors and for the orange one I used
autumn colors.

The rest I decorated with sticker gems
from Magi-Prix. I painted them then applied the
gems in various designs. The final one I also used fake
flowers.

Finally, since there won’t be a family
party this year, I won’t need the Easter Bunny cake
patterns but maybe somebody can enjoy them.

Happy Easter to all

Two new contributions from Josée Bellemare! First, a costuming tip, the first to arrive under the costuming /Cosplay tab. Let’s hope for more of the club’s contributions to that page. The second is an article expanding on one of the themes discussed at a recent panel– The Ark of the Covenant.

Costuming: As for the sewing patterns I mentioned Sunday, here is the web site. This is just for Simplicity patterns. Besides the usual generic costumes designs, there are costumes inspired from various movies and TV shows. Have a look and see if you find anything of interest.

MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE: We are actively looking for your costuming tips! Also looking for photographs of your costumes, props, and so on.

Real Ark of the Covenant
Josée Bellemare

Following the February meeting about magic in the world I decided to look into one of the most famous artifacts in history: The Ark of the Covenant and its possible properties.

“In 1961 a group of Minnesota college students took Moses seriously enough to construct an ark according to his directions. Their instructor had to have the model destroyed because of the dangerously high electrical charge it developed.”

This quote is the only mention I have been able to find on the subject. Many have heard of this experiment but no information can be found to substantiate this story. Did this really happen or is it an urban myth. If it’s real, the students in question would be collecting old age pension by now.
