A Harry Potter Easter, Part I

Hey, I'm still working on the essays on Harry Potter and its Slavic elements, but in the meantime, I thought I'd update everyone on some of the work I've been doing at home.

I've decided to remind (or introduce) people of (to) the Christian elements in the Potter series by making all of my Easter baskets on a Harry Potter theme. Instead of Peeps or other baby chicks as the bird element, I'm making styrofoam phoenixes, using molds to create candies (lilies and crosses), and creating Harry Potter Easter cards.

I have one phoenix done and a card ready, and a picture below to delight you with:

And here's a close-up of the phoenix. I think I'm going to use it as my avatar on MyLeaky (lol)

I hope to update my blog with pictures of the finished Easter baskets, but if I forget to (which I probably won't), or I don't get to update it sooner, Happy Easter everyone! (And if you don't practice Christianity), happy springtime and April-ness. squee!
