Regardless of your religion it's still fun to decorate eggs. Here's links to two, royalty-free and hi-res, starting images to work from.

Rules are you have to use one of those two images. That's it. If you don't want to register as sxc.hu I'll gladly email the pic to you if needed.

I've got the day off and the house to myself. So I finally get to chop again! My egg chop will be posted here as soon as I finish it.



Oh, and Beyonce' is on TV live right now hence my non-chopping at the moment.

Edit: Wow. Yesterday got away from me real quick. Anyway here's my first attempt.

Since when are eggs religious?

Hmmm........interesting stuff about origin of easter eggs

Have a nice and sunny Easter!

along the same lines. any tips for more realism?

..didn't have much time ..but thought it was a fun idea!..great job on your eggs Armogedon!! Good stuff!! I think the cross one is FAB..no realism tips ..I think you nailed that one!!

This is beautiful, really love it.

Maybe softer lines and less shading or even a slight texture, something to try I guess, haha. I am not an expert

Thank you

awesome work, people. I'm not going to attempt to match the work that you all have done here, but I did do some "easter egg" painting with acrylics a couple weeks ago.

wow! that is cool!

Love the hand coming out of the crack in the shell.

I still say you should give a shot at chopping one of these.

Cheryl your's is awesome! That's a really cool effect with the shadows.
