A New Take on the Emu Egg
The other weekend my Aunt Ellen (along with quite a few of my other relatives) visited the orchard. My Aunt Ellen is one of my 12 aunts on my mother’s side. Because our family is so large, for Christmas, instead of exchanging gifts we are all supposed to make an ornament. We decorate the tree at the hall we rent with these ornaments and then when the party is over we pick names and give that person our ornament. Everyone always crosses their fingers that Aunt Ellen will draw there name.
Why? Ellen Landwehr is a nationally known rosemaling artist. A few Christmas's again, she was chosen to have her ornament hung on the White House Christmas Tree. She has written and published two books (Rosemaling with Ellen, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2).
Back to my initial story – so my Aunt Ellen stopped by the orchard for a visit. She saw our blown out emu eggs in the store and mentioned that she had painted them before for someone. I immediately asked her if she would like to paint some of ours for us to sell. I sent her home with a crate full of blank, deep turquoise emu eggs. This is what was sent back with my parents a few weeks later (and the pictures don’t even do them justice)
Aren’t these just stunning!? I have six beautifully painted eggs for sale at the orchard. I don’t have the best way to display them just yet so if you want to be sure to see them be sure to ask me where I have them.
