1. Spring Has Sprung Daffodil Trinket Box by Arlene of Ashpaints
This lovely little charmer is actually a two piece ceramic egg that I've covered with a soft blend of yellow polymer clay on the upper half topped by a grouping of daffodils. The lower half is covered by a marbled yellow blend which was impressed with swirls. A lacy looking border covers the join and adds a touch of elegance to the bottom.
2. Floral Fantasy Decorated Emu Egg by Angela of polymerclaycreations
This is a real blown out emu egg that I have decorated with polymer clay. Every flower, leaf and butterfly has been made separately and adhered to a blue to white blend background and surrounded with a golden leaf border. I only covered half of the egg to leave the beautiful emerald green of the emu egg showing. The stand I used for it is a lead crystal tulip shape. On the inside I baked in a floral mica shift band.
3. Mod Colors Egg Pendant Necklace by Lisa of HiGirls
I started out with inspiration from those fabulous psanky eggs that
you see around this time of year. I ended up with something very
different. Using ink colored translucent clay, I achieved these
florescent colors- they are brighter than you see in the photo! Molded
over an egg shape, it is backed with a fun pattern as well. This was
my first attempt at a handmade toggle closure.

4. LuLu by Betsy of PolyClayCafe
Meet Lulu. At first glance, she may look like a fashionista, but make
no mistake she is first and foremost a protester. She believes chicks
should get to keep the egg from which they hatched; especially, in her
case, where her egg is a deep, dark, rich chocolate with sugar candy
trim. She is rapidly outgrowing her egg, but she won’t leave! For more

5. Wonderland White Rabbit Art by Marie of YoungCreative
In this freehand sculpt, I captured the moment that the White Rabbit emerges from his rabbit hole. I covered a chicken egg shell with polymer shapes to create the checker board path that wraps around the back, I cut a hole in the shell to allow the rabbit to sit down inside the egg for a more 3-dimensional look. The base is also polymer decorated with a freehand pattern. I used no molds and almost no paint. See more views:
