DIY Easter Eggs
Easter eggs are a quintessential part of the Easter holiday. I recall the craft sessions (at school or at home) that involved "decorating" hard boiled eggs by making designs on the shells with wax crayons and later dip-dyeing the eggs into the prepared dye baths to reveal the masterpieces of my youth. Easter egg decorating has clearly come a long way since my childhood, as you can see in these interesting techniques I found while scouring the web for new ideas to inspire my Easter eggs this year. There's everything from more natural dye sources, to unique decoupaged eggs, to the glitzy and sparkly glitter Easter eggs!

Wearable Art
Check out these intriguing shoes by Dior. I wonder how easy it is to maintain your balance with those spherical soles!
Dolce & Gabanna has such a unique style and aesthetic, and these shoes don't disappoint. They are quirky, yet elegant.
Made in the USA by Karo's Shoes, this monumental shoe (featuring a 7.5" heel!) is made of leather and wood. Sustainable fashion at it's finest!
Serbian designer, Tea Petrovic, has created a collection of shoes some would deem rather eccentric. For this particular pair, he combined an array of materials, including leather, wood, and metal to make these works of art.
Alexander McQueen created these gravity-defying "suspended" platform shoes much to the shock of the fashion world.
Gaetano Perrone's shoe collection is unique, feminine, exquisite and magical. This sandal is a real gem (!); a beautifully sculpted piece that one would imagine would be comfortable on a woman's foot.
Victoria Spruce creates patent leather heels, with traditional leather soles. This shoe is from one particular collection she states was inspired by architecture, sculpture and structure.
Mojito Shoes are designed by British architect, Julian Hakes. Not only are they elegant and unusual, they are also comfortable and lightweight. They have a delicate and sculptural design full of twists and curves.
Safa Sahin is a Turkish designer known for his dream-like creations. His surreal inspirations are the catalyst for the genesis of an artistic masterpiece. Despite the abstract nature of his shoes, they are entirely wearable, making for a one-of-a-kind footwear investment piece.
Yet another artistic designer, Kobi Levi from Israel, who also creates completely wearable works of art. His shoes can take the shape of toucans, dogs, cats and chewing gum, among other interesting shapes. Lady Gaga wore a pair of his designs in her music video "Born This Way".
The Myshell256 was created by designer, Sharon Golan. The shoe is comprised of 16 different components, which can be combined in all sort of permutations to create 256 different pairs of shoes. Talk about a go-to piece!
