We’re coming right up on polymer-covered egg season and Illinois’ Jael Thorp is way ahead of the crowd. She winds strips of polymer pattern around hollow chicken shells.

This time she resisted the urge to antique the patterns with a wash of darker color and let the vibrant colors speak for themselves.  See more of Jael’s eggs on her Facebook, Flickr and blog pages.

I’m taking a brief digital sabbatical and visiting family. I’ll be back with you mid-week.
