A beautiful start of October at Lord Stirling Park in

Spent the day in colonial garb and bare feet explaining the traditions of natural dying and scratch carving to visitors at the 1770s Day.

Thank you to all who visited my booth!

As much as I love drawing birds, I have always found owls to be a special challenge. I finally ponied up the courage to attempt a barn owl. He will make his debut at the Ohio Egg N Art Show next weekend.

Goose egg naturally dyed with black walnut hulls.

Three goose eggs dyed with black walnut hulls. Two floral imprints with hydrangrea, one solid dyed ready for scratch carving. Onion skin dyed egg for color comparison.

Preparing my first batch of black walnut dye in at least three years. It looks a mess now, but fingers crossed for gorgeous results.

Three Vintage "Seminar Eggs" for Sale.(late 1970s, early 80s) Local pickup/delivery in Lehigh Valley preferred. Presumably assembled by my grandmother, the late Kathryn Johnson.

Egg #1 Rhea. Double heart shape doors open to diorama of evergreen tree with cardinal and painted snowscape. Outside of egg is natural shell color adorned with gold findings. Ornate base and top cap.

Egg #2 Rhea or Emu. Intricately carved egg with several angel faces incorporate in design. Fiber optic filaments in the interior of egg. (I have not tested with 2AA batteries yet). Unique matching base.

Egg #3 Triple egg design of rhea goose and quail in a truly elaborate and skillful design. Sky blue Rhea eggs encases cut out gold goose egg which encases a white quail egg with blue floral design. White doves and the mechanism to turn the top cap to rotate the inner eggs provide a wow factor for this beautiful addition to any collection.
