Duck Egg Collection

I had some egg orders to paint last week and as it turns out, it is easier to paint multiples of a design, rather then one at a time.

These are all duck eggs with the exception of the Hummingbird pin with the ribbon, that is a goose egg shell. It happened to be lots of fun taking photos of them in a grouping as well, as you would see them if they were in a collection.

The Little Spring Blue Bird has been very popular on pins and turkey eggs so I thought he deserved a duck egg of his own so he could really go on desplay.

Likewise for the Hummingbird, I was doing a custom order for a pin so I thought I might as well paint him on a duck egg as well.

Just last week I got in an order of these great acrylic stands. They hold the duck egg beautifully and altogether, make a beautiful display.

I also painted a couple of rose eggs as they have been popular on pins and duck eggs alike. This way I will have a couple in stock. I'm slowing getting them all listed on my ETSY shop today.

Next post I'll be showing a watercolor that I started months ago and had put down for awhile. You've probably long forgotten about it by now. I finished it just yesterday though and I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

And The Winner Is

After reaching for the kitchen mixing bowl this evening, I have a winner. CONGRATULATIONS to Melissa Michaels of The Inspired Room - http://www.theinspiredroom.wordpress.com/ . You have just won my Goose Egg Floral Butterfly Pendant. Please get in touch with me Melissa and let me have your mailing address so I can get this right out to you.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the latest giveaway, we had a great turnout. I will most likely be hosting another in February to celebrate the opening of my Cafe Press Shop. I've been making lots of products from my watercolors and I'm in the process of getting that shop open and ready for business. More on that next year.

And The Winner Is

My husband Chris just picked the winning entry from our mixing bowl. The winner is Maggie aka Garden Girl from http://www.lavenderdaze.blogspot.com/ . Please contact me Maggie so that I can get your full name and address to ship your little butterfly off to you this week.

I'll be having another giveaway in the month of December, everyone is welcome to enter, just keep checking back throughout the month. I'm not sure what it will be yet but perhaps another piece of egg art. You'll have to stay tuned for that part. Thanks to everyone who entered.

Goose Egg Butterfly & Hydrangea Pendant Give Away

In the spirit of the upcoming holidays and to have some blogging fun, I'm doing a give away this month and again in December.

This is a Butterfly & Hydrangea goose egg pendant that I hand painted and adorned with some swarovski crystals. The pendant measures 2 1/4" in length & 1 1/2" in width. It has a silver bail attached to the top and comes displayed on the ribbon you see here or you can remove that and slip a silver chain through if you wish to wear it around your neck.

All you need to do to enter the giveaway, is to let me know in the comments section of this post that you would like to join in on the fun.

I'll be picking a name out of the hat (or in my case, a kitchen mixing bowl ) on the evening of Monday, November 19th. I will announce the winner at that time on my blog and the pendant will be shipped to its new owner the week of Thanksgiving. Everyone is welcome to enter. You do not have to live in the USA to enter (it's a tiny little box remember, shipping is cheap) , that means my blogging friends in Australia as well as anyone abroad is welcome to put their name in my kitchen mixing bowl. Have fun and good luck.
