Perhaps they inspired these mushrooms to grow nearby in the slowly softening soil:
Carefully collecting these, along with a fresh daffodil . . .
We brought them inside to appreciate each one . . .

Congrats to Jean! My entry was late, but I hope y'all will pop in to see it, and look at my previous zentangle posts, and also see my news about getting published in a Zentangle book!!! I'm pretty new at this, but am such an enthusiast I decided I deserve a title so I have dubbed myself a "tangle wrangler"! -lol. I invite anyone to do the same!
ReplyDeleteI meant to say about the eggs, they are so Gorgeous that and now I must run and make some myself!
ReplyDeleteLovely Eggs! So fun. I am glad that you have a bit of green... just got hit in MN, with one of those late snows.... everything is back to white (depending on the line in the sand/snow) till it melts in the next day, or two, or three. It's the, stick around and the weather will change time! :) Any news on CBS?

Love the beautiful tangled eggs and the mushrooms are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a few I have tangled. I have been decorating blown out eggs for several years now. If you don't want to deal with real egg shells there is a new option walmart has dyeable plastic eggs that seem to take paint and ink the same way as the real ones. Great thing is they have about the same weight so you can hang them a little easier than wooden ones., and so far I haven't broken any when I drop them which is great cause there is nothing worse than getting one almost done then breaking it.
Love these eggs! I have hundreds of egg shaped gourds from three plants in last year's garden. These will serve as inspiration for decorating.
ReplyDeleteOh my Molly, the eggs are fabulous. And Maria, those mushrooms would look beautiful in a shadow box or birdcage kind of floral display. Just when it seems it can't get any better, you do something like this. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love the eggs and mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS, Jean!
Happy Easter!
Gorgeous eggs. Wonderful idea.
