I've been painting eggs! These eggs are made of wood and my goodness they are extra extra large! I think they call these ostrich eggs. Both are approximately 5 inches tall.
The purple & pink one is 8 and 3/4 inches around.
The pink & green one is about 8 inches around and 5 inches tall.
Painting these eggs are a pure act of love! They seemed to have taken a lot of time to me.... But that's ok.... because I do love them so!
And did you notice the little cozy that I crocheted to sit them in! Now are those cute or what? Attention to details counts!
I think that these would look cute displayed all year long. What do you think?

Today I went to buy more eggs to paint. I can't wait to get started on them! I will post more pictures as I can!

You are a talented painter and the eggs are lovely, but I think the idea for the crocheted cozies is the best part. You even added a sweet little pink rose.
Those are so sweet! I bought some little wooden eggs to paint last year, and never did. So perhaps I will get them out and paint away!

I'm new to your blog, and I just had to tell you how gorgeous your eggs are!! I crochet, so of course I loved these ones with the little cozy under them. You have a lovely talent, they are so very pretty.
Take care!
