4TH OF JULY PYSANKY
      Not one of the easiest Pysanky's I've ever done.  Those ribbons were a pain to make sure I the right amount in and nice long strands.  For only 3 colors, it took a long time. 

CARVED EMU
        Took most of the summer of 2010 to make this one.  Had to find the Aboriginal type drawings, then had to work at at keeping my layers this side of going thru.  Egg dust is a danger so it needs to be done, best outside.  Wish I could show all four sides.  I tried to capture Australia in all of the drawing, and think I did a pretty good job, while showing the varying colors of the layers.

LION PAINTED ON A QUAIL EGG
     Somehow that just struck me as the right egg to add to my collection.  The booth at the Renaissance Fair is still there and I still have a problem walking past it each year we go.  But for now, this is the keeper.

SUGAR EGG
     I built a number of these when the kids where little.  Somewhere around 1994, I keep thinking I should remake it.  Sugar collects dust, ages, the icing fades, but this one stays put until the day I do.

RESURRECTION STORY EGGS
     These were quite popular several years ago.  Buy a dozen plastic egg.  Fill them with a piece of paper that has the scriptures that tell the Easter story, one per egg. Put the bits and pieces of the Easter story (small nails, a small wooden cross made from toothpicks, 4 dimes for the pieces of silver, you get the idea) and sit your children down and have them open the eggs and tell the Easter Story.  The last egg is empty, just like the tomb.  That wasn't good enough for my mother.  She was quite a good artist, so her eggs go painted with the story too.  Tear drops, a crown of thorns, flowers, each egg got painted to match the story.  Wonderful job, wonderful way to teach.  Wonderful member of my collection.

CHRISTMAS WAX EGG
      I have an egg mold and have made many.  Haven't done anything with them except burn them, they do burn neatly, but this one will never see a match.  Even though I watched them put this one together in the shop, I'm still amazed at how it's done.

CROCHET EGG 2
     This one I did, mostly to see if I could.  I had found some shiny metallic painted eggs and started playing with them.  This is the only one I felt good enough to put in the cabinet.  The rest?  Not sure where they got off too.  Probably in the bottom of some box and the grandkids play with them.
