#egg art

Bit of an odd request, but I would love to find a pysanka artist that would be willing to do a commission in exchange for hollowed peafowl eggs to work with. I would like to have Bug's first egg done (in her colors if possible), in trade for 12+ hollow peafowl eggs (I'm flexible to try to match an artists normal price range's worth of eggs). I would pay shipping both ways.

If you or someone you know would be interested in that kind of trade, please reach out or direct them my way! For customs nonsense, USA only. If not you, I'd love a reblog to help me find someone!

If you aren't sure about how peafowl eggs would be to work with, they are large (~90-100g full, compared to a jumbo chicken egg which is ~60g) and the shell is matte like a chicken egg, not waxy like a duck or goose egg. They have a VERY thick shell, extremely satisfying to clack together. I know you probably aren't planning on clacking them together, but you COULD.

I drain them using an egg-draining tool, a single hole hand-drilled in the wide end. Eggs are washed, drilled, drained, rinsed, sanitized with hydrogen peroxide inside, washed again just in case anything got on the outside, and dried hole-side-down on paper towel. I have a bunch I haven't touched yet, and probably won't get to immediately, if there's some other way you'd like it done.

Here are the ones I have yet to drain, and one with a quarter beside it for size comparison.

And here is Bug on her nest for tax.

It's her first egg from last year I would like done, and I have plenty of photos for colors. Purple, teal, and chocolate/tan brown if it will work.

how do you like your eggs in the morning?

a landing page for Sperm Donor Fic, a.k.a. a Ryland Grace/Reader drabble that sprouted legs and became a three-part series. ao3 link here, tumblr links below.

Part 1: Scrambled: You fell head over heels for Ryland Grace when you were twelve and he was thirteen. You let him break your heart when you were eighteen and he was nineteen (and an asshole). Now you're thirty-four. Now you're single, and determined to stay that way. Now you know better than to expect anything more from him than friendship, and advice, and maybe some sperm while you're at it?

Part 2: Shirred: When he was thirteen, Ryland made you a promise. At nineteen, he fulfilled it. You sort of wished he hadn't. At thirty-four, you've made yourself a promise. You are trying very hard to keep it. You really wish you weren't.

Interlude: Poached: An invitation. A garden. A dozen things he could have done differently.

Part 3: Sunny Side Up: ?

I still haven't read dunk and egg (I'm gonna change that soon) but here's Egg and Maester<3 ty for the request 🙇💙
