Dear Helen,
They are really beautiful. How painstakingly time consuming to do all that and then to put them on the eggs. Very talented people out there! Love Chris

Chris, this is embroidered ON the egg, not put on later.Helen
Yes, I knew that Helen it's just the way my sentence turned out. I can see they are sewn into the egg! I just can't fathom how they get a needle in there - how do they get it back out? Love Chris
Now I know - the pattern is repeated in exactly the same place on the other side of the egg. Therefore when you put the needle in one side you look for the corresponding hole on the opposite side. Ingenious!!!!!
Chris I did not look that far. It is too much for my brain to take in at the moment. Dont think I have the patience to do such intricate work.Helen

Those eggs are just stunning. Gave a closer look and they must have punched/drilled the holes very carefully and then used ribbon embroidery thread. Don't know if I would have the patience to delicately hand craft these treasures.

I think I would be making a whole lot of scrambled eggs. I can't even imagine how anyone goes about doing this.

OMG!!! I had a closer look and I think these eggs must be plastic. They are beautiful whatever way they were done. Some clever people out there.

I never thought of gluing an embroidery design to a blown out egg for an Easter Tree. It will boggle peoples minds like sewing on toilet paper. LOL
