I found this wonderful illustration of eggs in a book dated 1909. Beautifully preserved, including a drawn chart of the birds they come from. I created an additional image combining both.
I was thinking how lovely these images would be transfered to finger towels for the washroom or a set of small pillows for a guest room.

That certainly would be an intricate piece of work…But, beautiful when accomplished. Amazing, isnt it that we find some that sparks a new idea for something in craftwork?
Beautiful! Thank you for the images and ideas!

How cool that they named what birds the eggs came from! I love it. Reminds me a bit of those posters in some culinary shops of many types of tomatoes, things like that. I love those.
I love these:) I just took pics of quail eggs today~ Thank you!!
Thanks Cathe! Love it!
Thanks, they are really nice!
And thanks for the rule, you rule!
I don't believe I've ever seen anything quite like this! Thanks!!
I have printed off the egg images and plan to cut each out separately, mount them on foam board and place them nicely in a shadow box so that they look like a collection. Kinda like old butterfly or insect displays.
Love it!
So cool- Love Rae's idea of making an old style botanical display with them cut out individually and displayed in a collectors type box. That would be a great idea with butterfly images, too.
Thanks, Cathe, for uncovering all these neat old treasures.
these are truly AWESOME! thank you so much for sharing! Have a SUPER day! š
