Friday Egg

It is a beautiful day today.  The sun is shining and the sky is blue and I am inside my dark little studio working on eggs!  But here is a lovely little iris egg in honor of spring.  I started with a white egg, as you can see from the outlines.  I like the mix of traditional patterns on the bottom and and the free-form flowers on top.

Here's the entire thing, finished with one coat of varnish (I will do a couple more in the next few days).  I will start including a scale object (penny) so you can easily see the size of the egg:

Here are a few more detail shots of the egg:

Happy Friday, everyone!
