We enjoyed egg salad sandwiches last night - and I couldn't bear to toss the beautiful shells :)
I envisioned the eggshells on my ongoing Mixed Media Monday piece as a great material for some mosaic texture to go with the dots. It gave me some very lovely decompression time with a very quiet house and a simple but colorful task and after an afternoon of right brain total saturation I feel ready to face the rest of the week .....
I think this piece is turning into a "peace sign"of sorts for my front porch. I'll do more next week using next week's prompt "mermaids." Hmmmm the gears are already turning .....

the eggshells made the perfect accompliment to your sign - i can't believe it, really, i loved the way you set it up and showed us the eggshells first - like what the hey can she do? - then walah! I hope you donate your brain to science when you don't need it anymore!
