My kinda Easter egg
Found this image at another blog, and traced it to the Flickr photos of "bcompetent". It delighted me-- I like the artistic talent and whimsy seen in the photo!
Just noticed that the reflection of the overhead light fixture seen on the ghost egg makes the ghost look like he sports a spectral crown above his head!
My hubby & I had to laugh at the thought of my eggs posted on a blog about a severed head and a drunken one at that! (I'm actually a director for a self-help recovery program for women alcoholics - oh the irony!)
The 'owl' egg is about as scary as my eggs get... although, personally, I freak out over spiders. Dare I say, I was inspired to do these designs while reading my mom's 'Martha S' magazine... I never heard the end of that from the husband... although he loves the eggs too!
These eggs were quite fun for 'pysanky' style eggs (apply design using a writing tool & hot wax and dip in assorted dyes). Probably about an hour and a half to finish. A bit longer though to blow out the egg and put a couple coats of polyurethane. This egg pic is the most viewed & commented on my flickr site - it's a Halloween fav.
Thanks for the spotlight :) and keep your head on straight or not! Becky
Those are nice, particularly the owl.
ReplyDeleteI agree-- the owl's my favorite, too.

Thanks for the comment and info, Becky!
ReplyDeleteI wondered about the amount of time and labor required to make such great looking Halloween Eggs.
Hmmm, may have to commission an artist to do a "Max the drunken severed head" next year. One would be as hollow as the other.
I keep expecting to see a huge scorpion hatch from one of those.
