This Senior Always Ready for Easter - Or Anything Else That Can Use
Eggs
 Christina
Cooper, 78, who lives at Brooksby, an active, independent,
retirement community in Peabody, MA, makes carousels, jewelry
boxes , necklaces, baby carriages and lots more out of eggs. She
also makes various scenes inside the eggs; Wizard of Of, yellow
brick road scene with Dorothy and the Scarecrow, Cinderella inside
her coach, birds on benches on a snowy day , etc.
 While
many are made for her friends and family, she also sells eggs to
people. Recently, she made a necklace for another resident so he
could give it to his wife for Christmas.
I started about five years
ago and just love making them, said Cooper. Theres no greater
feeling than watching the persons expression when I give them their
egg.
Cooper also assists with
teaching an egg art class every few months at Brooksby. Her
instructor comes to Brooksby and Christina assists her with teaching
other residents the art of decorating an egg.
In
the past five years, Cooper has decorated over 50 eggs. And if one
breaks
Ill make another one, said Cooper. Its only an egg.
