These little creations are such works of art.
Bird eggs are among the most fantastic little sculptures in nature, the color and variation between them makes them... well, absolutely magical.
Quail is not something we are short of here in Central Oregon. In fact, we currently have a mob of 35 babies that belong to several parents which come in like a mass immigration to my back yard several times a day to feed. I love every moment.
The color of these dyed quail eggs is just fantastic!
These little gems inspired me to make a painted wooden egg set {I picked up the plain eggs at a thrift store}. I studied my Eyewitness Birds' Eggs book to find the best egg for the varying sizes and these came in very close. The largest is a Crested Tern, Common Raven, American Robin and Northern Oriole.
I have a dozen or so plain ones left, so naturally they needed a little box to hold them {more on the box later}.
Wishing you a day with a little adventure, thanks for stopping by!
