left over egg ideas, artwork, and other things
6 tiny clay pots, mosaiced with “curb-side-rescue-junk” and they are nothing spectacular, but just fun to do, and environmentally favorable.
there are two sets, one with very small thin vertical tiles, the other with just about anything i could find.
I guess i am stuck on hearts and valentines this year —
Here is another heart, flowers, leaves, decoration and lace border that can be used for printing cards, for printing on mugs, digital art, or framing (i can enlarge this for you, just ask). Purchase this pdf through my email at PDQpatterns where I post most of my artwork.
The top image is a digital image of the lower picture which is a jpg from my phone. I can edit this to many file types, just ask.
Had fun drawing this heart, and photographed it on some very faded brown flower fabric on the back of a quilt that i made 35 years ago….. i actually love what the vectorizing did to the quilt backing.
if you want to purchase for 3 bucks this for your personal use… .just ask at the website PDQpatterns
Antique heart bracelet, maybe a queen and king?
These eggs are a little different than others I have made, in that they have embedded in them tiny pieces of fabric from the stash of a mother of a friend of mine who found a bag of 9 quilt tops that she had made in her lifetime but that were not finished. There were just a few pieces of scraps and so i tried to give a feeling 
of a couple of the fabrics in the design of these eggs, but also included some threads from each fabric kind of as a “keepsake”. For me, life is about having fun making remembrances, even as much as we would like to be remembered, memories are pretty short.
See the fabrics used in these decorated eggs on the left.
I made a polymer clay cane for the light fabric, not entirely successfully, and the other fabrics i used a backing of single color and added the elements and then flattened them into the flat backing of polymer clay. Some of the eggs have texture, some dont.
Because the quilt tops made by this mom were all “granny’s flower garden hexagon quilts” i did use that hexagon style on a couple of the eggs.

14 inch diameter mosaic pot, recycled terra cotta pot, all scrap tesserae
Very large mosaic pot, original pot created using type s mortar, then thinset with additive to adhere the tiles, grouted with a sanded grout,.
Blue marble and flowers, decorated flat egg, refrigerator magnet. This refrigerator easter egg magnet was made not made with half a chicken egg as the mold, rather, a rounded solid piece of white polymer clay, and a thin sheet of marble blended clay over top, and trimmed with a knive around the base. The arc of the center of the egg shape is much lower, and this is an easy alternative to making the egg shaped magnet with half a chicken egg as the mold.
The flowers leaves and stem were added after the whole egg base was complete, but I believe the marble sheet and flowers can be added at the same time.
My father drew this likely sometime in the 1935 range. At one point I think he wanted to be a political cartoonist. He did like golf and played it all his life. (I hope he is not annoyed that I vectorized and colored this in LOL).
As a Californian, in the early 1900s, likely this was a common joke among golfers, but dad put it to paper.
