たまご Some of my eggs

Here are some of my eggs.  The top egg is an ostrich egg.  The next 2 are rhea eggs.  The blue and purple egg is a duck egg.  The Happy Skeleton egg is a goose egg.  Pysanky are Ukrainian Easter eggs.  They have a very long history and go back to ancient times.  Each pattern has a symbolic meaning.  They are given as gifts of love and good will.

The happy skeleton is a series I made up because I love Day of the Dead art.  The Day of the Dead is a religious holiday celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries to remember and pray for members of the family who have died.
