11th International Easter Egg Fair




Here are some of the eggs from the Easter Egg Fair we visited last weekend in Kloster Eberbach.

The technique used here is stitching - if you click for the larger image you'll see the little holes. Very delicate work so you can imagine that those eggs are quite expensive...

I would never have the rest and am simply to clumsy but I do appreciate how delicate these eggs are. Prices are not delicate though!

My daughter and I have an Easter egg book and were just looking for some to make for Easter. These are stunning (but far too difficult for us to try!)

Wow, they are such beautiful art!

Yes, I admired them as well. I'm afraid I'd never bring up the patience to do that. Besides that I would probably ruin a lot of eggs before finishing them since they are so fragile.

marie - I've learned the basics of embroidery in elementary school but since then I haven't practised it. It seemes to be revived in the fashion idustry - I saw a lot of tops, shirts, blouses, t-shirts, etc. with embroidery (mostly flowers) last year in summer and some of them really beautiful artwork.

Thank you all for your comments!
