Friday Egg: Red Pineapple

A stylized floral pattern, reminiscent of a pineapple flower adorns this lovely little chicken egg. The back ground color is PUSA Patina, just a quick dip to make a lovely azure blue to contrast and complement the hot pink and magenta of the pineapple flower. The green ferns are along to keep it company. 

This piece found a home in December, so I hope that the person who owns is enjoying a little tropical moment of this chilly January day.

Happy Friday!

Friday Egg: Invisible Ink

An etched goose egg, the design revealed in relief rather than color. Simple and elegant.

Happy Friday!

Friday Egg: Pinwheel!

Color! Spinning patterns exploding from a central flower! All on a topsy-turvy starflower base. This goose egg was a lot of fun to make, but please don't ask me which colors I used or the order they were put on because I simply can't tell you. Every color! All the colors!

Happy Friday!

Friday Egg: Starry Seas

Friday Egg today is similar to the one I posted a couple of weeks ago, but in a completely different colorway. I like to see how choosing different colors can completely change the feel of a piece. I call this one "Starry Seas" because the eggshell decided that the pores of the egg would show on the open water areas, where I left the wave blank rather than draw stripes. It looks to me like stars in the sky reflected in a wave. I love the effect and I am happy when an eggshell asserts itself like this.

Friday Egg: Carousel

I'm baaaaaack! It's been a while! I've been out for summer break, traveling and dealing with a house renovation and the nuisances that come with it. But I'm back at the kistka as of Monday and really excited to be working on some new ideas.

This is a chicken eggshell done in bright and festive colors that reminded me of a circus carousel, just like the one we rode this summer at Valley Fair in Minnesota!
