So, do lolita comms ever do Easter egg hunts? Because that seems like it would be the cutest god damn thing in the world. Like, a garden party with cookies and lemonade and then an egg hunt. I wonder if those plastic eggs can be decoden'd...

Aw, I would love to see pictures. Does everyone wear their sweetest coords? Easter just seems like such a perfect lolita holiday. All the pastels, bunnies, flowers and candy but with enough religious and antiquated imagery to appeal to the goth and classic side as well.

I don't think my comm is doing anything for easter, there's just one non-easter meet that happens to fall on that day (at least that I've seen).

[Anonymous No.8222086]

>>8222066
oh yes gardenberries is a nice one too. I forgot about that one!

seeing a bunch of people buying happy garden for easter has made me now want to obtain a bunny dress for next year. would like one that I wouldn't have to only wear on easter, though I by pastel vomit I was wondering if there were any other prints that seemed so strongly easter themed like happy garden. looks like something off the packaging of a chocolate bunny.
speaking of which, I really would love to see a cool chocolate bunny print, maybe from an otome brand?

My comm is doing a meet the weekend after Easter (there are several conventions happening Easter weekend),so I expect to see a lot of themed coords at that. My comm is more on the Classic side, so probably lots of religious prints and non-pastel rabbit stuff. I'm personally planning to wear Mozarabic Chant.

[Anonymous No.8222673]

>What is your comm planning?
Nothing. There will be a spring/sakura themed meet a week later though. Personally I'd prefer the Easter theme because you could at least go full nun lolita with it whereas spring is pretty much a sweet or classic theme only.

That sounds unavoidably 2edgy4u. I can see gothic, but guro? Maybe if you wore a crucifixion print or something. Care to elaborate?

Maybe cheap is not the right word for it. Plain? There's just a lot of very solid brown fabric with not much else on them, even that bow is really plain and simple. Considering this will be sitting on top of rather richly embellished dresses it's going to look like a lazy last-minute home made accessory.

At least a little lace around the ears, a little topstitching so the ears don't look so empty, and putting them on a thinner headband so that I can work my other hair accessories around it, would be a vast improvement over this headdress. I was going to try and get my hands on chocolate fabric to make it from as well, though that might be difficult.

Also Slav, but my country has kind of adapted over the years, and you get chocolate now. smarties are popular to give away for some reason.

>tfw tradition is for girls to get whipped with willow branches and get doused in cold water
>tfw when the modern version of this is getting doused in perfume instead
>tfw when boys get to go door to door and do this to relatives and acquaintances and get chocolate and money and girls don't

I don't miss this tradition. What I do miss is all the traditionally decorated eggs. They used to give those away but now it's switched to money and chocolate. Not that I live there any longer to see it. But the museum always had lots of beautiful eggs. Eggs painted with oil paints; beeswax; glued with tiny pieces of straw; dipped in plant dyes, tie dyed or otherwise; covered in complicated crochet, including wire crochet; and more recently, drilled with tiny drills until they resemble delicate lace. And all the derpy cute eggs courtesy of every elementary school in town.

Anyway, thanks for reading my blog. My comm has a meetup tomorrow and I'll be wearing Meta's Fancy Egg in green.

It sounds kind of ridiculous, though it's more annoying than anything. some regions let you take revenge the following day, so that's nice I guess. Here's an article, if you wanted to know more: http://spectator.sme.sk/c/20007278/whips-and-water-easter-in-slovakia.html

Nah if anything there'd be a /pol/rare saying that 'slavshits are white niggers' or something.

In any case, go ahead and give it a whirl! You have my official Slav seal of approval and a guarantee that Lord Putin won't smite you if you try.
Here are some from my country, this is done using a wax pen or stick and then dipped into a pot of water with diluted dye.
We also used to pick different herbs, flowers and leaves from the field, press them into the egg, wrap it in a piece of women's hosiery and tie it securely then put into the pot of boiling dye water as with the former method. That way the egg boils (so you can eat it), and after you take off the stocking and toss away the plants you're left with an interesting pattern on the egg.

We also have 'egg-knocking battles', you try to break the opponent's egg with yours and whoever wins gets the other's egg. You usually ask a friend or family member if they 'want to knock', but in our language that is also a slang for intercourse SO...
Also a designated red egg is kept safe and named the 'guardian of the house'. You're supposed to take care of it until next Easter, but they tend to get smelly a bit. It's usually decorated with some form of 'Hristos Voskrese' ('Christ has risen') written on it, or just 'HVVV' (it's also a greeting on Easter, 'Hristos Voskrese' and the reply 'Vaistinu Voskrese' ('So he has' to translate it bluntly).
Anyway I'll go away now, sorry for the blogpost.

I remember doing something similar to your pic as a kid using a white crayon. Whoever made those must be seriously experienced to be able to draw such perfect designs when you can barely see what's happening as you draw.

I've seen the herbs/plants method done before, but with onion peels instead of dye. Pic related. Amazing how simple it is to get such beautiful eggs. I don't mind blog posts at all when they're about awesome holiday traditions. Guarding an egg for an entire year is the kind of thing I'd like to have an excuse to do.
