Inspirational Eggs

I love the way eggs represent new life. I find it encouraging that new life always begins with a 'dark' phase, when nothing seems to be changing and it is hard and slow and painful... but, the new life does come, the egg cracks, the waters break... and something new and beautiful pops out into the world! I have these 'dark' times at regular intervals, and I made these eggs as a reminder of what is really going on, that there is beauty inside of me waiting to come out, being formed, being perfected. I made them by blowing some duck eggs and them just painting with watercolours... take a look :)
