The Monday’s Collage workshop was so much fun. Because of the Julia Jacquette’s exhibition on meat and salads, my eyes were  immediately to the supermarket promotion pages and found the bowl of eggs in the image above. The eggs then reminded me of the past Easter and bunnies, so I looked through another magazine called ‘Easter Ideal’. The green bunny on one of the pages was really catchy. At the moment I saw it, I started to wonder if I could not only create a picture, but imposed a story about the green bunny stealing eggs from the ducks’ houses like those stories in children’s books. Also, I am always wondering about the origin of Easter and its relationship to eggs and bunnies, so it will be great to have another story to tell kids about Easter just like Santa Claus to Christmas. Thus, I found two ducks in the same magazine and the only thing left would be the background.

I should have done the background first before I glued any of the figures. I started to realize how hard it was for Max Ernst to build the structure in his minds and finish the whole book in three weeks. He must have had a nature of talent and a passionate soul to work days and nights on it. Since our class will cover another children’s book on bunnies next week, I figure it would be a good idea to include this collage into the final illustration project.
