I did it wrong again.
So sorry Rebecca, I'm in two lists now. I'll try and redress.

This is an amazing portrait. The eye of the artist must see somethingnin every woodenn egg that allows its placement. Just staggering to think about the patience and ability involved. Wonderful presentation. I'll go back and add Haiku to my post for Day 10.
Peace.

I adore the egg-Mary. How appropriate since it is almost Christmas and she gave birth to Jesus. I love minimalism. It is altogether amazing and lovely! The tapestry is rich, beautiful and mysterious. I love the eyes. You were so right about the eyes!

15,000 hand-painted wooden eggs? Wow... it's beautiful and amazing. And you are lifting the veil of love again.
Thank you.
