German Easter Wells
If you share my love of folk traditions, then you'll love this post by Selenak. Many people are familiar with Russian decorated eggs, and I showed you Czech ones the other day, but the German painted egg tradition is different again.
At Easter, the wells are decorated with garlands of hand-painted eggs and greenery. The designs are usually pictorial rather than abstract and cover a wide range of themes. There's very little repetition and the effect is lovely. This entry was originally posted on Dreamwidth where it has
