Traditional Ukrainian folk Easter eggs were the inspiration for this collection of products, ranging from a Cut-n-Make Book and a Color and Craft Book to Printable Crafts and Ready-to-Buy products.

I recently saw fabulous examples in the folk museum in St.Petersburg, Russia. I also bought an actual wax resist and dye Pysanki craft kit and book at the Russian Orthodox church in Helsinki eons ago (below). The kit includes a kistka for applying wax, dyes and bee's wax. Years later, I have yet to actually make some according to the traditional folk method - but one day I will!

​I just love the bold graphics and bright colours, as I am not keen on the usual Spring pastels for my Easter displays. So I will be adding some of these products to my all-white-with-black-accents interior. I intend to use some crafted items, as well as Anni Arts POD items I have ordered - teamed with red and yellow tulips. And who knows - I might paint some or make wax resist and dye Pysanki eggs seeing that I have started on this look. Will keep you posted if I venture so far!

PS. There are some free downloads with the two books here on Anni Arts.

A new contemporary look with broad stripes for real mugs: stripes, flower-of-the-month, birthstone, meanings of the flower and stone, and optional monogramme (delete the circle and letter completely or just change the monogramme letter). The hand-drawn flowers are still there, but they have a bit of a subdued role in the bold new version.

The new mug is available in the Anni Arts Zazzle store.
Or click through from the collection page.

Birth Flower products are suitable for Birthdays or Everyday gifts, because lovers of Flower-of-the-Month and Birthstones like to collect items with their special flower and gem at any time of the year. 

They are also great for Congratulations, Encouragement, Friendship, Get Well, Good Luck, Little Gifts of Appreciation, Keeping in Touch, Sorry, Thank You and Thinking of You. Hand-illustrated flowers are teamed with gems and a a variety of designs to make  pretty and feminine gifts

​New designs are coming for the popular Birth Flower and Gem range.
I haven't added new items for a while, but 2019 will see the release of new ready-to-buy products, books and journals, stationery, paper crafts and printables. 
A new contemporary look with broad stripes, as well as dotty flower options, will coexist with lace and antique and the original design series.

First up for real mugs: stripes, flower-of-the-month, birthstone, meanings of the flower and stone, and optional monogramme (delete the circle and letter completely or just change the monogramme letter). The hand-drawn flowers are still there, but they have a bit of a subdued role in the bold new version.
​
The stripes were inspired by my own collection of vintage Staffordshire and Cornish kitchenware, but jaunty stripes have been very popular lately on a wide range of products. They are contemporary and reassuringly vintage at the same time!

The new mug is available in the Anni Arts Zazzle store from this page:

January will be followed by all the other months within a week - and by more products soon.
