How Do You Like Your Eggs?

I prefer mine over-easy, thank you, on top of a toasted, buttered english muffin. Maybe a side of pancakes or french toast. (Can we say carbohydrates?! Yea, that’s me. All that’s missing from this meal are the spuds.)

Of course if we’re not actually eating eggs, but decorating, well then, the possibilities open up nice and wide and carb-free.

We’ve had an easter-egg painting tradition in our home. There’s the standard (and not so standard) dying of real eggs ~ but our special fun was acrylic painting on egg shapes we’d cut out from some old cardboard. Punched a little hole in the top, tied with a thread. Then each year we grab a few fresh twigs from the yard, hang our artsy little eggs and we have our own homemade easter egg tree. Easy and sweet.

But that’s just us. Creativity knows no bounds and there are many, many beautifully decorated eggs out there. So I thought I’d share a few, to inspire or just to admire these adorned symbolisms of new life. (known sources are linked by clicking on image)

Eggs in a Basket

Not all your eggs, just a green one and a purple one. And not exactly in the basket, but on it (one on either side). And … okay, not really a basket, but a tote ~ spreading the message of peace.

Happy Easter!

The clean, colorful design caught my eye. Then I noticed the artistic creativity. Very nice! You could have some fun with these.

Turns out “it” is a good-looking new app from Martha Stewart (still very much the reigning Queen of Practical-Made-Clever). So if you have an iPhone or iPad, and you’re the crafty type, this could be right up your alley. 101 egg-dying ideas, with how-to’s.
