As always, Easter requires the painting of eggs. Since we are in lockdown, I’m doing the solitary Easter this year – although we did do a digital Egg hunt via Discord in the front yard of my parents. It was glorious. We also had a verbal egghunt in a message that my mother had recorded, so we were Eastering away.
In preparation, on Saturday morning, I boiled some eggs, while at the same time making scones and preparing bread dough. I also had a dragon that needed finishing. Perhaps it’s not strange then that I put the eggs aside until about 22:30 at night before actually starting to paint.
First step, pinterest egg designs since my creative brain has gone on holiday and I cannot follow it. One of the first things I saw was a combination of black & white eggs with different designs (here). It really appealed to me, so I got out my paint and started on giving one egg a white base coat and the other egg a black coat. After waiting for them to dry, I added triangles to the black one and stripes to the white one. That’s it really. I quite like this minimalist design.
