Pesach Easter

Apr 08, 2012 09:41

Greetings flist. To those of you who observe the Jewish holidays, I hope you have a good Pesach.

And a happy Easter to my Christian friends. Inspired by the recent Damien Hirst exhibit (and a conversation with bluestocking79), I made a Hirst version of easter eggs.

Thanks!!!!!

Is it awful of me to admit I can't stop laughing at my own joke? I giggled the whole time I was making them.

PERFECT EGGS ARE PERFECT.

Now you need to go find someone who wants to spend several million pounds on them.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I WISH!

The insect stickers are from our NYE party, btw!

And . . . Lliana gave me a giggly shout out on XFM today. She loved them!!!!

It *was* a good party!

I'm pretty sure today's show will be posted under "listen again." It's within the first hour of her set.

Chag Sameach! but i'm not really doing it as I'm unsettled.
I know Noel likes him but I still hate Damien Hirst. http://www.stuckism.com/Hirst/StoleArt.html I rest my case.

Unsettled . . OH. THE. SYMBOLISM.

I'm not a "fan" of Hirst, per se. But I did giggle a ridiculous amount when I came up with the idea of cutting the eggs in half. And I did enjoy the show about him for as much as it revealed about Noel as it did about the representation of ideas in general. That sort of thing is stimulating.

But to be honest, I find Hirst cruel and cold. It's one thing to kill flies when they show up in unwanted places. It's another thing to breed them just so you can kill them in a spectacularly painful way.

Well, yeah, being a vegetarian does also contribute to my not liking Hirst. I love Tracey Emin so it's not like I'm against modern art or anything, btw. ;)And your eggs are a cute idea. ;)

Thanks :-)

Even if I weren't a vegetarian, I think I'd find his artwork cruel, tbh.

Those are genius! I'm glad that you did not do a diamond covered egg, because finding loose diamonds in your egg salad sandwich for Monday's lunch is no fun!
Hoping you are having a good Pesach!

Aw, thanks darlin'! :giggles: I think if I found diamonds in my egg salad it would be the happiest trip to the hospital ever, no?

Hope you're having a good Easter!
