One of a kind painted Easter Eggs

This particular egg has two different images on each side, divided by top and bottom...One a little bird on a branch and flowers on the bottom...divided by a satin ribbon and a silver thread for hanging.

This is the other side featuring a rooster and hen on the top side and the chicks on the bottom.

If you know my artwork then you know I specialize in horses, this one has two horses one on each side, with doves flying around the egg and tiny specks of glitter and a hanging silver string anchored with a pearl.

One egg viewed all the way around.

An Easter theme is displayed on these eggs. The egg on the left was made with gesso painted to give it texture and layed on its side for display, the middle is one of the egg I displayed on the top of this page, right side image was an idea taken from an antique plate the client wanted duplicated.

Seen here are three eggs...on the left from top to bottom showing the image all the way around of Race Horses, second image is an egg actually made for Xmas, it's Saint Nickolas driving a Troika, the one on the right side has a Tiger, Gazelles and a Zebra...all these eggs were commissions.

This was a wooden egg I sold on eBay. It had two foals prancing in a Spring setting with bunnies and birds.

I got orders of wanting the same image but I will not duplicate, as I want "one of a kind" and they will never be the same.

This is one of two of my favorite eggs I have done, actually I did them twice because the first set got destroyed by a cleaning person.

This egg has a great deal of detail, from a Roman man riding a Horse statue, column, water fountain with a lion head, birds and landscape.

These eggs were commissioned for an Easter basket for OW's plane. The images on these eggs are Solomon and Sophia the two cocker spaniels belonging to Oprah...each egg has a different setting...I wish I had painted them on wood.

Here again Sophia and Solomon playing in a country field, with flowers, birds, butterflies and bunnies.

My cousin Beatrix Jahn in Germany also a squidoo lensmaster and fellow artist, had an old friend who was 70 at the time these eggs were made....They are Unique and pretty, made by scratching the paint away.

Thanks for sharing these eggs with me to add to this lens.

As I mentioned above, these eggs belong to my cousin Trixi...these eggs were done in felt tip pen by her friend as gifts for Easter in Germany.

I sometimes dye the egg a color or just use it white as is, and then draw out the image on the egg in pencil. I use Acrylic paints because it dries immediately. When finished, I seal the painted eggs with a clear acrylic sealer, I prefer a satin finish.

My brushes are inexpensive and very fine, including 00 brush for details.

If I add a string to a blown out egg, I will add it on with a small bead to anchor it. I prefer to use wood eggs or plastic, they don't break as easily.

I have embellished eggs with glitter and sequence or jewels, even ribbons, so there is so much one can so to make it different and one of a kind.
