Friday Egg: A Bigger Fish Fry!

A goose egg for this Friday Egg.  As with last week's egg, I really enjoy the interlocking patterns that make up this fish design, especially the fins. I took a lot of pictures, but I don't know if you can really get a sense of how these fish bodies interlock.  I hope you can.

I started with a white goose egg, waxed all the areas that I wanted to stay white and then went through all colors light to dark.  The hot pink and orange make me happy - it makes them look like exotic skeletal tropical glow-in-the-dark fish underwater at night. Or something like that.  Each fish's inner body patterns are different, which makes it a lot more interesting for me to make since the same pattern four times can get boring.

Happy Friday!

Friday Egg: Friday Fish Fry

A traditional fish design done in some non-traditional colors.  I started with a white egg, as tradition demands, then proceeded through gold, orange, turquoise and finished with the final color of purple.

A simple egg, but with such bright colors sometimes simple is best! 

Friday Egg

This is one of my all time favorite eggs.  It is a brown chicken egg (about 2 1/2 inches tall) showing salmon swimming over river rocks.  It was purchased by one of JoJo's daycare teachers for her mom's Christmas present. They live in Washington, so she was really excited to see this egg because salmon is such a big part of life up there.  I love it when my eggs find their perfect home.  I was sad to see it go, but it will be happy and loved where it is now, so that makes me feel better. Yes, I am kind of sappy sometimes.
