Okay, I need some input. I finished painting this little Halloween egg over the weekend and I am torn. I originally had intended to make him an ornament, but as I continued to paint and sit him on the egg base to dry, I began thinking maybe he would be fine sitting on the base. The egg is 4.5" high without the base. What do you think? Now, if you don't have a blog to leave a comment, send me an email at
monkeycatsstudio@charter.net to give me your thoughts.
The figure is on the front and wraps around the surface and the back has.....
a pattern similar to an Easter egg with a Halloween twist.
Hanging or on an egg base? That is the question.
Have a great day and happy creating!!

HI Laurie,
I like the egg base...its original to me..so many make an ornament out of eggs.
Smiles,
Sonia ;)
Egg base...I would love that on my shelf! Especially if it is somewhat large.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope to have some new stuff soon but it has been an illness fest in our house for so long now. Ahh the life of small children!
Take care! :o) Amy
This is amazing!! My vote is for the egg base...besides you can also make some Halloween Egg Ornies too!! LOL
You know eggs enjoy company...that's why they're sold in a dozen!!! :o)
Can't wait to see what other goodies you come up with next...have a super duper day!
Allison

Ah, Chris, I think the flea is in my computer...three replies popped up. What the?!!!
Sonia,
Thanks for stopping by...looks like the responders are agreeing on the base! THANK YOU!!
Amy,
Another vote for the base...thanks
Amy!!
Allison,
A dozen huh?!!! You are too funny!
Tonya,
Thanks for your input and help this weekend.
Looks like we are leanin toward the base!!
THANK YOU ALL!!
Laurie
Surely you jest! Input! EVERYTHING you do is so cool! LOVE this!
Egg base baby, egg base!!! Love it my dear!
Definitely on the base!! Very cool! Robert :)
I like it just on the base, too.
Very clever! And so well painted :)
I vote for the egg base too. It's something a little different...and a Halloween egg is certainly something different. Love it!
Debbie
Can I vote for another idea? Of course he's perfect on the base. Cause you paint like no one I know... AWESOME. Wouldn't this be cool as a body? Simple white skelly type head with your fun wooden legs? And visions of sugar plums never dance in my head. ;)
Well, it's unanimous! Put that super skelly egg on a base.
Ginny,
You are always good for my ego!! Thank you dear.
Dani,
Thanks for your vote...seems to be leaning overwhelming toward the base!!
Robert,
Hey guy, how is the teaching going? Glad you had time to stop by and pick the egg base.
Joee,
Thank you for stopping by. Wow, well painted,.. huge compliment coming from you!!
Debbie,
Thank you for stopping by...one more vote for the egg base. Hey, you gotta have a Halloween egg or two, just remember they are never chocolate goodness though... those silly Halloween boys put bug parts and icky goo in their eggs.
Janell,
Can I hire you?!! Love the way your mind works you silly girl!
Sheila,
Well girl, you are the last voice before I go to bed and no one wants to see it as an ornament yet. That should tell me something, shouldn't it!
Thank you all!!! You are so nice to help me with this.
Laurie,
for what it is worth , Love the base. It can sit anywhere as a ornie you have to hang it. It is beautiful and I wish I could paint half that well. Love your work.
Blessings,Pea
If it's not too late to chime in, I say leave him as he is. He is adorable!
I think he looks AMAZING! What a great idea!
I vote the base as well! Love your designs!
Sheryl
Add another base vote. I think the base would be more versatile for where it can be placed or moved.
Pea,
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a note. I went to your blog and loved your tribute to your dear friend.
Cathy,
Never to late to chime in...love everyone's input on this!!
Jen,
Thanks for stopping by Jen. Loved your new piece on your blog!!
Sheryl,
Stopped by and saw your lovely little angel!!! Well done my dear! Thanks for your vote on the base.
Well, the base it is...not a single vote for it as a hanging ornament.
THANK YOU!!!
Laurie
I adore him on the base...He is a hoot..lovely!
but what ever you do I think it will be great...
:)
Heidi
Caroline,
Excellent point...we always need to think of these things when marketing, don't we!!
Heidi,
Oh thank you Heidi, but I asked because I was perplexed on this one. The more I looked at it on the base as it was drying, the more I leaned that way, but it was originally created to become an ornament so I couldn't get that out of my head.
What a great group you have all been to assist with this. This little guy just isn't meant to be hung on anything so he will be a "sitter".
Laurie
WEIRD!!! ~ Darn fleas!!!
Good & bad things come in 3's...
Hmmm...
Chris (-:
I love him on the base - he is so cute!
Egg base! He's too wonderful to hang. That's my vote, and I'm sticking to it. ~PJ
Yes, I have to agree a base does him well. You are a wonderfully creative painter!
Leah
Pam,
Thank you for stopping by!!! Another base vote!
PJ was in the house and has spoken!! Thank you much!
Leah,
Thanks for your base vote and such a lovely compliment. I value it coming from another painter.
Everyone have a great day!!
Laurie
