Is it too early to talk about Easter?



It's never too early to get out the Easter Egg 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 branches 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
here and my goose that laid the golden egg here





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.





And with hand made chocolate leaves.

  2. Your post has just reminded me of just how close Easter is Gina - your eggs are all so colourful and each one a little work of art in its own right.

    1. Dear Rosemary,
      It is so cold here that I needed a little shock of color to warm us up. Thank you for stopping by.

    1. Dear Poppy,
      I was so happy to see your latest post. It is still very wintry and cold where I live. Seeing Spring on your beautiful island is what I look forward to every year.

    it was a surprise to see your beautiful Easter eggs, so lovingly painted, as I had not even thought about Easter.
    I had to check the calendar for this year's dates and found it not to be so far off. How glad I am to have your
    wonderful blog to enjoy and also to remind me which season I am in...............
    Warmest greetings, Sieglinde

    1. Dear Sieglinde,
      Thank you for sending signs of Spring to me. Your garden is beginning to look like Spring is just around the corner. It will be a while before we see any signs of new growth. So I appreciate receiving your beautiful photographs.
