SOFT EGGS: wall prints

Around Easter time, we started getting farm fresh eggs from a friend at church who has some Araucana hens and a few other chicken breeds. I was delighted to get colorful eggs of various sizes and colors.  The problem is that I hate to break the shells of the aqua eggs because they are so pretty.  So I took out some of the eggs and decided to do a drawing of them. My sister raises sheep and gave me some wool skins, so I laid the eggs on the wool and later named it “Soft Eggs” because of the soft bed they are on. The eggs are naturally the color that I drew them.  They are not artificially colored, even though I did do the drawing around Easter time. 

I didn’t really expect to find very many scriptures on chickens in the Bible, but, this is what I “gathered”.

... Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me three times. John 13:38

 

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Matthew 23:37

 

Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 63:7

 

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. Malachi 4:2
