I made this egg ornament to fulfill a special request. The recipient loves Arthur Rackham's illustrations of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. This egg was divided into panels by all the woodgrain painting and in each panel I put a different copy of one of Rackham's illustrations. Here you see Titania, queen of the fairies madly in love with Bottom who is rather appropriately sporting the head of an ass.
I used some very tiny brushes to achieve this level of detail. Remember that this on a standard large chicken egg like what you'd find in a grocery store.
Come back next week for my newest hand embroidery design!
