mayflower-005.jpgmayflower-006.jpgWhile working on bears for a Christmas show, I had an opportunity to get 3 ostrich eggs.  My brain began working overtime.  I took the eggs and thought I would share with you what I have been doing.  The first one is a Christmas carousel horse that I have painted on an egg.  The second is more bear related.  I have cut the egg in half.  I then made a cushion which I covered with a beautiful fabric (scraps from a wedding gown).  I painted the egg to look like marble with a gold trim.  I then made a little bear to sit on the cushion.  This bear is my Christmas Princess.  She is made from hand dyed mohair.

Oh, Nice work Millie! :clap:  :clap:  I particularly like the one with the teddy. bear_thumb

I got interested in egg art while back and bought a variety of eggshells.  I've got some ideas for them though nothing like what you've done. I also wanted to try my hand at carving them. (Yes I know, I just want to try everything! bear_laugh )  I know some types of shells can be hard to get at certain times of the year so I bought them while they were available even though I don't have time to play with them right now. I'll get around to them eventually. So far they are just sitting collecting dust.  So many ideas, so little time.  ~sigh~   bear_happy

Milli they are fantastic. I love both of them but being a person who lives and dreams bears I would go firstly for the bear one. I've never made anything like this, I would love to try one day though. Thanks for sharing!
