Eggs in my spunky egg box.
Bit of an average photo, but it seems that 12 months is still a challenge for me!
Egg Rock is a volcanic feature in the Lamington National Park in SE Queensland. This view is taken from the Numinbah Valley Road and unfortunately, the scene quickly disappears a little further down the road and is not able to be photographed readily from closer unless you book into the State Prison Farm which is just ahead on the higher ground to the right and blocks the view. It can be also more readily seen from above at Binna Burra by taking one of the walks to the edge of the escarpment. The Springbrook Plateau, another area of rainforest and breathtaking waterfalls is on the left while Green Mountains (O’Reilly’s) is yet another ridge or range further to the right. A wonderful area for hiking the forest trails if you have the energy.
Frustratingly, our summer of clouds didn’t part at the right time to allow a brighter shot.

Le uova sono come dire... fresche di culo di gallina!!!

So earlier today I brought my egg and forks outside for natural lighting on my patio table. Between the wind knocking my egg down and the raindrops falling from the tree branches, I just couldn't seem to get it right. So brought my goodies inside and set it all up on a table in the living room and added some lamp lights. I still can't seem to get the white balance quite right, but I think it came out better.
Be Still. Week 3 - Trust the Process.

The theme for 2024 is “United by Eggs,” which was chosen to reflect how eggs are a staple in various cuisines across different cultures and countries, showcasing their universal popularity and health benefits.
This is my first official embroidery sampler and wow, was it ever fun to make! Who knew "complicated" stitches were so easy?! :-D

Made some changes to Eggman in the new Sonic Ideas set. Thought he looked more natural "sitting down" and I gave him his iconic wrecking ball.
Bucovina is one of the few regions where the art of egg painting is among the most lively and well preserved traditions.
Compared to other folk art manifestations this craft is impressive due to its artistic, decorative compositions and colorful design. In time, the Romanians consolidated the tradition and the custom of redden and painting the eggs in the spring, for celebrating the Christian's greatest feast - The Easter. The painted and decorated egg, a substitute for the Christian divinity that dies and comes back to life again, at the vernal equinox, sacramental eaten on Easter Day, is a symbol of death and resurrection of time and space.
In Romanian language there are a lot of terms used to describe the decorated eggs.The terms "red eggs" or "Easter eggs" refers - through extension - to all types of coloured or decorated eggs, even though not all of them are red or used only for Easter.
These worked eggs require craftsmanship and patience. The most praiseworthy are painted or handwritten eggs, entirely decorated, whose ornamental composition is more like spontaneous rather than elaborated. After playing an important role within a serious of traditional ceremonies and rites, the eggs are meant either for eating - called "lifeless" eggs, scanty decorated - either for being home preserved - these are the "living ones" (not boiled, hollow-out eggs) richly decorated.
Due to the fact they were meant for preservation, "the living eggs" were imbued with remarkable meanings. These eggs are only painted by genuine artists. Each of these eggs, true craftsmenship masterpieces, has its own unique design incorporating delicacy , refinement and imagination.
Egg painting is a moment of great joy, fully attained by the entire family. In countryside villages, especially in Bucovina region, live women famous for their crafts, delicacy and hand skills that have resulted into a perfect egg-painting art. What makes these women so famous is the chromatic harmony and the balanced aesthetics of the art they practise.
Egg-painting is a sophisticated craft, reflecting great refinement, combining talent, sensibility, vocation and moral qualities as well. The decoration technique, the ornamental composition and the chromatic palette decoration are crucial for realizing a beautiful " written egg". For ensuring quality hot wax-writing, the shape, the size and the strength of the egg are essential characteristics to be considered.
The drawing technique consists of covering the egg surface in wax and then, using a special tool made of a thin metal pipe, with a very small diameter, the egg is patterned (written with ornamental motifs).
After the egg shell is carefully cleaned, the egg is hollowed out: these preparations are a must in order to begin the writing of the model, thing that elderly women know from experince. Of ovoid shape, the egg requires a compositional conception often difficult to accomplish. The egg shell is either divided in four sections by drawing two axles (a horizontal line and a vertical one), or considering eggshell's volume, an integrated composition is made.
After the first patterns are made, the egg is dipped in a light color, usually yellow. Then the egg is put into the melted wax just to cover the dye mark. The wax seals the dye so the egg can be dipped in several colors without them running into one another. With each dipping more and more ornamental line are added. The last color to be used is black. In the end, the egg is gently heated, the wax melts down and the egg reveals its whole decorative, multicolor and original beauty. This beauty carries a message of harmony, equilibrium and expressivity. The chromatic palette has its own importance and symbolism, comprising a series of basic colors like yellow, red, navy blue, black and even white. The basic pattern of the compositional register include the geometrical, astral, fito and zoomorph elements; in addition, there is a whole compositional inventory extremly rich in color. There are myriads of motifs used on painted eggs. The most popular ones are: the stray path, the sun , the moon, the ram's horn, the cross, the star, the snail, the prayer, the plogh share, the wave, the zigzags and the stylised flowers.
Nicely arranged in a basket, the eggs are taken into the church so they can be blessed by the priest, are offered as present, sacramental eaten, or, most often, they are preserved for the whole year inside the house, for their aesthetic value. (http://ejournal.eduprojects.net)
