Cool! I'm a big crafter. This book would definitely come in handy for some DIY Easter gifts.

I didn't know so much creativity can be applied into the design of Easter eggs. I'd be interested in going through the 200 different designs highlighted by the author. Thanks for the review.

Eggstravagant Easter Eggs by Maya Elston is a book providing instruction about how to decorate eggs. Sounds like an interesting book. Congratulations on #botd.

I'm not entirely artistic so this book isn't for me.

Her designs look amazing! I find that I perceive myself as more artistic and crafty than I really am, so the likelihood of me actually attempting any of these designs is slim. Nonetheless, I appreciate the artistry!
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

I do not celebrate Easter, but am fascinated with the idea of seeing these little pieces of art! Great review!

Wow. Such an insightful review. I am personally intrigued by the idea of a cameo image done on an egg. Also thank you for pointing out some of the different types of eggs she uses. It didn't occur to me that a wooden egg would be used for decorating.

Though I'm not a fan of art collections stories, but this, based on the review is something to look into. Thanks for this great review.

I'm not particularly fond of Easter egg hunts but I can appreciate the art of Easter eggs. I look forward to reading the book and maybe try making one or two of the egg designs.

I've never painted eggs, and I never will because I don't celebrate Easter. Therefore, I have no need for this particular book. I'm an avid art lover and diy person, so if the author has other books on diy art that isn't related to any religious customs or practices, I'd be happy to check 'em out. Thanks for the review.

As a creative writer, I understand how the mind of an artist works. You just want to put a few things together to present and you end up with a trailer-full of ideas. This is why she ended up writing down 200 design ideas instead of the intended 50. I'm sure she could have gone beyond 200 if she let herself. Maybe other ideas will come in subsequent books.
