This is not really about religion, more about celebrating the season and, this year, hurrying it on a bit.
So here's the series: eggs, empty, contents in the bowl to be made into omelettes and scrambles
In progress in the studio, acrylic metallic paint used to sponge on, gold then turquise then aqua then gold again.
And the finished eggs for the year
Here they're in their crowd, with older eggs, the Boehm bunny, Limoges eggs and a Wedgwood miniature cup and saucer holding eggs from my dear late cockatiel. No need to blow such tiny eggs, since the contents dry up without help.
The eggs are simply beautiful! Lucky recipients.
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool what a pretty tradition.
ReplyDeletebeautiful eggs, you must have been puffed out after all that blowing.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought it not an easy thing to do so easy for the egg to crack?
the blowing is a skill rather than an effort. It's all in the embouchure! and it's actually very difficult to break an empty eggshell if you grasp it in your fist. The trickiest part is piercing the holes top and bottom. I used a carpet needle this year, worked very well.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking today of commenting that I was looking forward to seeing this year's Easter egg creations, et voila! here they are. Beautiful. I love that green.
