So pretty. Are duck eggs easy to paint? Does it get broken easily. I like your way of using colors.

They are relatively easy to paint and surprisingly durable. Of course, if you drop it on a hard surface it will most likely break. That is why I started working on a bed of paper towels. Juuuuust in case.

It's very pretty, but what about the ducks? Are they all okay?

Thanks! Oh, the ducks are fine. I had to feed them lots of jelly beans to get them to lay eggs like this. You should have seen the ducklings that hatched!!

Ducks can eat jelly beans? Nevertheless, I'm glad, and please keep making beautiful eggs! Or arts in general!

I'm curious how do you holed it without breaking...arent they quite fragile?

I actually buy them from a farmer who drills one tiny hole in one end, empties them and cleans them up. They are surprisingly sturdy. She must have some healthy hens!

Thank you! As I was painting this I was thinking the same thing. I love to watch other people draw or paint. It gives me goosebumps...isn't that funny? Anyway, I was imagining video taping the process and speeding it up a bit so that people could watch it progress.

I took step by step photos when I painted the two smaller eggs in this photo . I will post them on my blog soon. I just have to figure out whether to post every photo individually or make collages. Here is a link to my blog mandarinmoonart.blogspot.com/

Thank you for the idea. I decided to forgo the wax step as it did not seem to add enough to the design to justify it. I took step by step photos of the coloring process of another egg but the experiment didn't work out as expected. Heheheh...that's the way things go sometimes!
