Unfortunately, the subject matter is way too out of my league. I can't draw to save my life and additionally consider such activity time consuming when I never have free time as it is. I will have to pass, but idea really seems very interesting for those who enjoy such things.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book on instructions on how to create beautifully decorated eggs using a large assortment of different mediums. It might be worth a second look.

I am not very crafty and have limited artistic abilities, but I could see this being a fantastic read for those people who are interested in home decor. It sounds like the author has provided some stellar designs and is passionate about egg decorating. Thanks for the lovely review!

There are some beautifully ornate designs in this book. I like that she gives the history behind Easter Eggs! I'll definitely check it out some more, but no promises on trying anything - just not that crafty or artistic. Maybe I'll give a copy to my daughter-in-law who is a graphic designer! Thanks for a super review!

I'm not sure this is my cup of tea as I'd rather watch how-to videos, but I find the word play in the title quite intriguing.

An informative guide that "provides detailed instructions for creating a variety of beautifully decorated eggs" sounds a must-read for fans of the genre. Unfortunately, I am not the target audience, but I enjoyed the free sample! A well-edited book with an easy-to-read, engaging writing style and colorful illustrations! Thank you for the detailed review, Cecilia!

Decorating eggs is a special tradition in my country. I admire the art, but I'm not interested in learning about it and creating it myself.

A book that provides how-to ideas and designs about artistic ways of painting easter eggs will be informative and interesting. I also like the fact that the book captures eye-popping pictures of these beautifully designed eggs. Thanks for the great review.

The tone of this book is very informative, yet conversational. It is like imagining yourself in the author's kitchen as they explain their egg decorating techniques to you.

Thanks for your review, but I won't be reading this book because I don't paint eggs, and actually don't celebrate Easter.

I've sampled first few pages of this book. I liked how colourful the eggs were. I hadn't known about Easter egg painting before sampling the book. Thanks for the review.
