TAG TUESDAY - GOOSEY

The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs  

My tags this week are based on an Aesop's Fable.  

“One day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering. When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs.  As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find nothing.”

The main tag is a watercolour painting of the goose, and beside her on the ground is a single golden egg.  This is a real gold egg because it is finished with  9 ct gold leaf!
 

This photo shows ten golden egg tags, all finished with various gold embellishments.  Making these was my Mother’s Day activity with Laura,  my 22 year old daughter – it was the first time we’d done something crafty together for years because she has been away at University.  It was a lovely opportunity to play together, we had great fun!

I like all the eggs here in an egg box because they all reflect off each other. 
I am having so much fun this month, I love Easter and Springtime. 

Thank you for looking. More eggs next Tuesday.  Have a great week,
 
Love Jane xx
