It's the perfect time to get out your paints
And paint a few Easter Eggs
I paint Duck eggs, they drop them willy nilly all around our pond. We also supplement our chicken feed with Abalone shells. Eggs are not as fragile.
Maybe throw in a few golden eggs, antiqued to make them more interesting
Place them into a bowl, hang them into a few forced blossoms or hide them under a cloche, on a bed of fresh moss.
And if you have a little extra time why not gild a few eggs. I will show you how
Paint with a lot of different colors and don't forget the important white.
They don't have to be Faberge eggs, just begin and have a lot of fun.

These are beautiful Gina, and how wonderful to have a ready supply of duck eggs, such a great size and much thicker shells.

I lost my source for duck eggs ;(
ReplyDeleteYours are so pretty! I just love to decorate them!
Hi, Gina! Surely you have a goose that lays golden eggs!
ReplyDeleteI can gild an egg, but paint like you do? Sadly, no... until I add that to my class to-do list!
ReplyDeleteAt this rate, I 'll need two weeks!
Thank you Sharon. Love your beautiful bouquet of the day!
ReplyDeleteDear Theresa, I will look out for a few eggs for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Mark, Funny you should mention my goose and golden eggs. I have added a link for you to check out (right under the picture of the golden egg.
ReplyDeleteDear Ann, I will be teaching a 3-day workshop in November at the College. Also am putting together a 2-day workshop at my house sometime in July. Want to come and join us?
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous Gina. You know how I love color, now I need to find a pond with ducks ... :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! These are awesome. Really they are so beautiful! So glad that I found your blog.
ReplyDeleteTHE MOST BEAUTIFUL HAND-PAINTED EGGS!!!
ReplyDeleteReminds me when I use to paint Easter eggs by myself, but never so 'artisticly' like yours! In the "old days" we used onion skins to provide a certain pattern.
Lovely post Gina, thank you!

Dear Francesca, Chicken eggs will do nicely, or maybe even goose eggs.
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia, Welcome and thank you for your kind comment. It is very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteDear Karin, Yes, I remember the onion skin eggs. They made pretty Easter Eggs didn't they. Have been enjoying your posts of the Schwarzwald (Black Forest). Great pictures.

Hi Donna. Thank you for your very nice compliment.
DeleteA bowl of these beautifully painted eggs makes for great photos and would add to anyone's decor. Your work with a paintbrush is lovely. Happy Easter, Gina!
ReplyDeleteHello Lorrie, and a Happy Easter to you. Painting these eggs is not difficult. Just use a lot of different acrylic paints. My ducks supplied the canvas. and because they are duck eggs they are very sturdy and easy to paint.
DeleteBeautiful! Have a wonderful Easter, Gina!
ReplyDeleteHello Margie, Thank you for your visit and thank you also for leaving such a nice compliment.
DeleteYour painted eggs are gorgeous Gina, they make such a nice table decor for Easter.
ReplyDeleteHello Judith, It is true painted Easter eggs make a fun and colorful center piece, one that doesn't wilt.
DeleteI think that I am running out of adjectives to adequately describe the beauty of what you create, over and over, so brilliant~
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, You have known me for a while and so you know that I use a lot of color. A lot of color on everything. That is my secret. Have a great week.
