Naturally colored blue Easter eggs for your brunch table
Decorated Easter Eggs I love the shape of eggs, and over the years I have developed an egg collection. My main collection started with stone eggs I got as souvenirs in the Canadian Rockies. (See this blog post). I got other eggs over the years as well. In recent years, when I've seen eggs I like at an estate or rummage sale, I end up buying them because they are usually so inexpensive. So I now have quite a mish mash collection of eggs. Today I am showing you some of them. The photo above shows six decorated Easter eggs that actually used real eggs. They are incredibly light and fragile, and so I am glad I have taken the time to photograph and document them. It seems impossible that they will last a lifetime - they are each from hollow real "blown out" eggs. The style of the eggs are different, and they don’t necessarily “blend” well, but I enjoy them anyway. Ukrainian Easter Eggs The photo above shows my three Ukrainian Easter Eggs, decorated by truly talented artists. Eggs like these take hours to decorate and I have seen them for sale for over $50. I bought my three at three separate estate sales, each under $5. My attempt at Ukrainian Easter Eggs LOL! The photo above shows my attempt at decorating Ukrainian Easter eggs. Can you see the difference between my amateur attempt and the experts? My sister purchased the correct tools (a ‘kitsky’ stylus), wax, and the correct dyes. I used my Ukrainian Design Book (image at right). Trying to recreate the artistry someone else has achieved can really give you an appreciation for the talent and skill that goes into doing a craft well. Drawing lines on a 3D curved surface is much harder than it looks, and takes a lot of practice. I will not be practicing that much, so I hope to find more eggs at sales. I also had a couple of more eggs I made, but they broke after several years, reinforcing to me how fragile blown out eggs are. Ukrainian Easter Egg You can not count on finding an Ukrainian egg like the one above at estate sales. I've gone to more then 50 estate sales, and only come across three Ukrainian Eggs. And you don’t get a selection at estate sales – you just get the one random egg that happens to be there. Ukrainian Easter Egg, Multiple views I now like Ukrainian Easter Eggs so much that I am considering buying a full price egg next time I see an egg artist selling them - just to encourage the artist for spending so much time perfecting this craft. Support your local artists! Pewter Easter Egg Another egg I bought many years ago with my husband is the pewter egg above. We like pewter, and this little egg was at a shop in Long Grove, Illinois. They had several different pewter eggs there, but they were expensive (for us at that time), and so we only bought this one. It opens up. It is kind of like my own little Faberge egg, if you know what those are. Dutch Delft Easter Egg The last egg I am sharing today I bought when my husband and I were on vacation in Holland. Holland is known for Delft china - a hand painted blue and white china. The souviner shops feature Delft, and we toured a Delft factory. Delft china sort of goes with the flow blue china I love. Delft Easter Egg In Holland, we saw three beautiful eggs in a window display in a shop. The shop clerk would not/could not sell us the items from the window display, something that clerks typically will do in the United States. After that, we searched for eggs in all the other souvenir shops we came across and even the Delft factory store. This one egg was the only souvenir egg we found for sale. Sometimes it is the search that makes it fun. I hope you enjoyed the goofy collection of eggs presented. You may also have noticed the vintage linens I picked to go with the various eggs... Have a Happy Easter all! Click on the images to see them enlarged.
