I love investigating what is going on generally in the creative world and I've recently been massively inspired by the work of Anna Bruder at A Line Art- particularly her recent work at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Click here to see all about that!
It struck me that bringing colour to black and white flowers was a really powerful symbol of the new life of Easter Day, so that's what we will be doing in our Easter day service. My plan is to give everyone who comes a flower and to invite them, at any point in the service to come and fill the flower with colour at one of our craft tables. We'll then use them at the end of the service as a symbol of the new life of the resurrection and create a flower garden. This works particularly well if you are using the passage from John's gospel where Jesus is mistaken for the gardener.
Here's a quick how to:
Print some flower shapes onto card (if you want to use mine, click here).
Stick the flower head to a paper straw. These are generally quite sturdy and will keep the flower upright.
Give everyone a flower
Use colouring pens, crayons, wool, glitter- whatever you have- to fill the flowers with colour.
Create a display of new life and/ or take the flowers home as a symbol of the resurrection!
