Happy Easter



Happy Easter, one and all.

This is my artistic endeavor for the week, hand-painted goose* eggs:

I did them with gouache for the kids of some of our homeschooling friends.  I am not an expert in emptying eggs, so I didn't do a great job with the holes.  Nevertheless, the kids were delightfully delighted with them, so all is well. :)

Our goose Polly is sitting on three eggs. I did not want to hatch more than that. Indeed, I do not even know if the eggs are fertilized.  Diggory had to go in the freezer yesterday. :(  He was attacking the boys, even pinched Ti'Loup so hard and would not let go, that Ti'Loup, in his panicked and valiant attempt to free himself, literally dragged Diggory over the fence because the gander would not let him go.  Yes, Diggory reached through the fence to get Ti'loup.  One inch lower and Ti'Loup would have been singing higher. :-/

Diggory is one scary gander!

I adore your eggs; I will have to check out Ephesians 4:22–24, as that's the passage on my favorite of the ones you've shown.

(And Happy Easter!)

So pretty! The gouache seem to work really well!

PS. I have one of these egg blower-thingies with a hole-making-thingy and it works like a charm. :p

Your eggs are beautiful.

Sorry to hear about the gander. That's scary!

Those eggs are really beautiful.

I hope Ti'Loup is not too sore.
