With Easter only a few weeks ago, I was thinking of the egg and how it is decorated. There is such a purity in the form. How pretty is this basket full of soft, pastel and natural color chicken eggs?
My raviolis will be decorating Easter eggs soon. Brilliant, spring colors will abound and then they will hide them to find on Easter morning.
The term "Fabergé egg" has become a synonym of luxury and the eggs are regarded as masterpieces of the jeweller's art. The eggs are made of precious metals or hard stones decorated with combinations of enamel and gem stones. Always exquisite and breathtaking.
Another spectacular Faberge egg dated 1903.
Lovely hand decorated Ukrainian eggs. All patiently hand wrought.
These are eggs decorated with a Victorian marbling technique. I adore these eggs for their detail and color. Brilliant.
My sister's favorite eggs from our childhood. She loves these panoramic, sugar molded eggs.
And of course, an egg worthy of a sea witch. This little Mermaid carving won a blue ribbon in 2007 at the international egg art show in Dallas Texas. How extraordinary a work of art using such a simple and organic medium. I am always awed by the talent that is among us. Have a wonderful day all. Sea Witch

Good Morning Witch!
You know, I love those ornate eggs but the simplicity of the white eggshell, with the mermaid carving--ever so delicately detailed--really makes a statement! How do they do that without cracking those eggs? You are right--there are some TALENTED artisians in this world.
Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful post, the Faberge eggs are breathtaking.
