I've just been looking through all my different blog categories and cannot believe that I've never shown these two pieces before. This I suppose is what happens after you've written over 100 posts, you start to think you've shown work that you actually never have.
Ostrich eggs are so much fun to work with, first of all, they are huge and very sturdy to hold. The above egg measures 7" x 5.5" and I think, would be very hard to brake.
I used lots of gold and silver on this piece and went with a dragonfly and leaf design. I also added clear Swarovski crystals floating all around the design.
My Red Rose turkey egg, painted with a full, open red rose. I fashioned a hanger for this egg out of pink Swarovski crystals. I've had roses on the brain lately, I'm working on a red , red roses ceiling tin at the moment. I've also been working on a new Emu egg jewelry box (this one has nothing to do with roses) with the theme of little blue birds. I'm recoving this week from a nasty case of the flu so it feels like I'm just getting back to work and into some new projects as well as working on some special orders for some friends here in blog land. I should be showing some of my new pieces soon.

These eggs are STUNNING Ruth, you've done a wonderful job with them, I particular like the gold and silver patterened one, mind you the rose is just gorgeous too!
Sorry to hear you've had the flu...hope you are feeling better soon. Both eggs are just beautiful! Can't wait to see your new pieces!
Beautiful as always.I sure hope you get over the flu completely..it sure can zap the energy out of you!hugs NG
Good Morning Ruth!
I hope you are feeling much better!
I LOVE the eggs! it is amazing how you can use a round, delicate surface as your canvas! If I tried to do that, it would just roll right off my table. :)
Thank you for your nice comments about Gilbert and Emmitt. I think they would get along fine, but I don't let them interact too much. I think gilbert might actually bite Emmitt. As you can see from the photo shoot, Emmitt was a little bit afraid of Zippy, my lovebird. I always said, I could teach the dog not to touch the bird, but I could not teach the bird, not to bite to sweet doggy. Poor Emmitt. :)
Ruth,
What gorgeous eggs. You have outdone yourself! They are stunning. I always love visiting here and seeing what you are doing... so inspirational for me.
Blessings,

Hi Ruth
So sorry to hear that you've been sick. I hope you're feeling better. Your eggs are just beautiful!!! There is an ostrich farm about 30 miles south of us. You can buy eggs, ostrich meat and other things there. It's amazing to see so many ostrichs' in one place.
I'm getting close to finishing up a certain birdhouse that I think is going to make you very happy!!!
Feel better soon my friend!!!
Hugs!

Thanks so much ladies, I appreciate all your comments.
I'm feeling much better now, just trying to get rid of this persistant cough but other then that, I'm really on the mend and getting back to normal.
