We have a long weekend off from work. It gives me time to get ready for Easter. It may seem a long way off,but time will pass quickly once I really get into the swing of panoramic sugar egg construction. I have a lot of the sugar "shells" made. I make 5 sizes of sugar eggs. The smallest is a miniature egg that I have been making for about 3 years. The next size up is the small egg. The medium size egg is the one I make the most of. In the class I teach on making sugar eggs this is the size I use. The next size up has an embossed lattice design. The largest egg that I have made has a faceted crystal design. Panoramic Sugar eggs started in the Victorian era. They used a combination of paper cutouts and oranamental frosting. That is how I design mine. I really take my time on each diorama inside. I have believed since I was a child, that is where the real magic is.
Oh my goodness! Those eggs are beautiful!!! You are very talented and patient to do such detailed work!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. I'm sorry, but the author is unknown to the story "Teach the Children". I've tried to find who wrote it, but to no avail.

Thank-you. My mother taught me how to make these as a child and it is one of my fond memories of her. She is still with us but I don't get to see her as often as I would like. When I am working on these, I feel close to her. Thank-you for looking for the author of the "Teach the Children" story.
