Well, they're ready! I've been making these eggs since the start of the year, and they're finally ready. I think I kept getting distracted by other new things - and in the end I was getting flustered because I had so many new things on the go and none of them were nearing finishment!
I've found a new use for my lovely old Airspeed fan. It goes really well, by the way, even though it makes a sound like a jet engine when it's on. I have to make sure everything's weighed down - it's been known to blow books off the table.
I've become a dab hand at this egg-speckling business - it's quite laborious, and I can only manage about three at a time before my thumbs give out! First I use a dry brush to flick on the fine specks, then go over again with a larger brush to be-blotch. Finished!
I've just spent the morning threading this delicious chocolatey ribbon through their loops, and taking photographs for
some Etsy listings.
Now I'm feeling quite keen on the idea of making some blue-ish eggs. I also have a couple of little wall-hangings on the go - look out for them soon!

they're so lovely, they would also look gorgeous on ribbon or cord as a long necklace...
Thanks so much Nic! You know, I hadn't considered wearing an egg as a long necklace - I might just have to give that a try!
They're very pretty ...
