Mosaic Eggs

Category: bethie's world | Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2009 2:18 pm

I saw some painted eggs online that were very pretty but I knew paint could never make it in the Southern sun. I want eggs in a cute nest so I look around for something to glass in a robin's egg blue. Egg Gourds. They are hard as a rock and ready to go. These are easily grown and will cure right on the vine and have many crafty uses. Grow some. Here are the egg gourds shown with a white size medium egg.

The glass is small so I put it on with tweezers.

Hubby works his grouty magic. Black grout is a Big Mess.

I search around for some wild grapevines that still have some "give" in them. Hubby twists me up a grapevine wreath and I take the leftovers and weave a crude bottom into it. I want plenty of drainage on them.
All done.

Drool! I could live with a nest like that in my garden. Lovely work. Wonder how much heat those egg gourds will need to grow and set fruit?

Oh I want those eggs of yours Bethie. They are perfect and I know just where I'd place them in my garden!!! I'm drooling all over my keyboard just wishing they were mine.
