Carved Style Easter Egg Set

Well its finally here. A few months late but still worth it I think.

Inspired by those extremely fragile Easter eggs intricately carved by dentist drills. Chicken all the way to ostrich eggs are used. There a bit like those Faberge eggs only they aren’t as elaborately decorated with gold and what not.

For those that use Illustrator, I chose not to make or use that function we call the pattern function. I think it would have been too complicated for that anyways. So I guess it took longer. But then again it doesn't help to have to name every object and every layer. So tediously time consuming but necessary. Just wish there was something to help me name every layer and object faster. 

I have here first the basic egg. The second is the polished style and bonus a chocolate version. 

 The following are some interesting close ups.........

There is a second version in this set on the way but again I'm currently in the process of naming every object and layer. Again very tedious. Oh well. Well worth the quality in the end.

Also will be viewable on my web site soon.

Thanks for viewing. :)

Coming soon.

Yes its been awhile hasn't it? 
Coming soon. Some new intricate vectors. They're a few months late, but I think the wait its worth it.

Personal site update 2

Allrighty all fixed. My Personal site that is and the links to them. Every thing should work as planned. Hopefully. Let me know if anything is screwy, will ya guys? Come on? You know you want to. K'T's Creative Lair. Also located in the side panel marked under "My other lairs." There. No excuse to check it out now. Now go!

Personal site update

Finally my site host has provided new security certificates for my personal web site. Apparently it takes a few hours for it to kick in but we'll see. Hopefully there are no further issues. Will have to look and test tomorrow.

Cool treats set 3

Happy New year every one.  Hope every one had some great holidays? If you did, consider your self one of the lucky ones. Not every one is so lucky. Sadly. 

Anyhow we have a new vector to feature. Cool treats but as classic ice cream set using time honored real ingredients. Well vector graphics. But what ever. Enjoy. 

Also has any one had a chance to visit my newly moved personal web site. Its located in the links area of my blog on the side panel. Does it work alright? No certificate error? If so, just ignore it. Its the web hosters fault for not fixing this. Hopefully they fix it soon. In which case the latest vector is also now also viewable on my personal web site.

PS
If you noticed I have started to only post my vectors from the actual micro stock places. Its for added security.  I hope you understand.

Heads up

Ok now Cool treats set 2 now available on K t's creative lair. Yup my personal web site. Also updated a few of those animation links to the new web site standards since the Hoster did not allow for direct YouTube linking.

Cool treats set 2

Yes I know its winter practically but every one loves ice cream no matter the season. Well except for those dieting prudes who like to lie to them selves and say they only love frozen yogurt. Ick. Did you ever try vanilla frozen yogurt with chocolate sauce. Gagggooollla. Total deniers.
Anyways new to the coolection is a nice set of soft serve ice creams in your choice of flavours or if you prefer your choice of frozen dessert. I still say your still denying your self if you like FY. You only live once after all.
But then some people do love a good frozen custard. I wish we had those here.

Available soon on my personal web site as well.

a new home and a Sunny day

Found a new web hosting place, well I actually had it booked marked for quite awhile but never had to use it till now I guess. It was pretty confusing at first considering it was a bit more complicated to use compared to the old one, but thank God I figured it out eventually. Just finished putting it up at the new place but I noticed it needs a few tweaks or two. Not a problem. Will take care of those later and will place a redirect at the old site too soon as the old place gets up and running. Yup they're still down. Guess its a price to pay for being a bit too easy and popular. None the less I really like the new place, its fast, no advertisements and its been around for awhile which is really great cause you really never know with a new hosting place. They change so frequently and can be gone in a flash. Lets just hope this new place doesn’t have a policy of only giving you something for free for a month. Sometimes these rules are well hidden and have a bad habit of biting you back. Anyways here's the new location of my personal web site.

K_t's Creative Lair.

Oh and as a bonus, here's one original illustration for the latest book I worked on as posted from last time in another blog post. Enjoy. 

No GMO's set 4

Well looks like my website's down again. But then again that place has been having many other issues too. Looks like it may be time to find a new place for it. I would love to have a paid one but still can't afford to do that. But money can't guarantee that it would be stable any how.

Anyways here is the last set of the series No GMO's. 
Till I get a new site no personal website. Sigh.....

Now available!

Update. Finally! The second installment of  Sunshine the Lion cat is now out.
Go and check it out. Go, go go! ;)

The AdventurousSunshine

No GMO's set 3

Another No GMO's set vector collection for your viewing enjoyment. 
Enjoy. 

Available for viewing soon on my web site. 

No GMO's set 2

Another one of those new vector seals set I made based on this whole controversy of pure foods and foods made in a lab in a nice summery tomato format.  Enjoy.

No gmos set1

New vector yeay!
I decided the time was right to make some nice new vector lables based on all this GMO nonsense that other people try to make us eat. They also seem to think they own the copyright on life.
Last time I checked they are only people, not God. 

Anyways enjoy.
Oh yeah also may be viewed shortly on my web site as well.

Deco shelled face plate

Just perfect for summer vacation time, not that I'm going on a vacation any time soon. :(

Oh well but I have gone in the past and collected these wonderful shells from Florida.

I like to use them every now and then like this project for instance. But not all of them. I'd like to save some of them for reference after all. :)

Anyhow I had this really boring and ugly old light switch face plate I had to look at every day for several years now and I finally had it. Since I always wanted a tropical themed design for my house but currently can't, :( I decided to at least add my personal touch to at least my personal space. The bed room.

I took one brand new plain Jane light switch face plate and I first painted it with a special acrylic that simulated the inside of a shell. A sort of a pearly white look. I then glued an assortment of shells and arranged it in a certain pleasing way. Then finally clear-coated it with an acrylic gloss and for the finishing touches added some simulated pearls.

Now I have something to switch on with a bit of class.

Encore of eggs

Tisket n tasket, one last look of my basket.......of eggs.  This is how they were meant to be seen. 

Happy Easter Egg

April showers brought these May flowers, on this egg. OK, so its not a real egg and the flowers are imaginary. The lettering isn't even real gold but it is my artwork seeded by my imagination.

But can't you just smell the flowers and doesn’t the gold lettering just glisten on the Happy Easter part?

I think the last Easter egg in this series is my most favorite which is suprising considering that most of the time my favorite stuff feature animal themes and or stuff with toons on them. 

Yup its the last egg but fear not, new things are always in the making.

Kind of fitting don't you think?

 Easter greeting how it was meant to look. ^

See the previous completed eggs.

Polka-dot-egg, Tulip-and-Camomile-egg, Canada-and-Croatia egg, Resurrection-egg, Hen-egg, duck-egg.

Duck egg

A little belated in the show n tell sorry about that.

Its been so nice outside I took care of some of the outdoor stuff.

Anyways What goes well with April showers? A family of ducks of course. 

It was worth making many pics of the egg since this one has so much to see. 

If you look closely you will even see a bonus creature that loves the water. 

 Bottom of egg. See the fishy? ;)

Top of egg. That design on top depicts a rainy cloud. A favorite of our wet friends.

And as always here are the previous eggs shown. 

Polka-dot-egg, Tulip-and-Camomile-egg, Canada-and-Croatia, Resurrection-egg, Hen-egg.

Hen egg

Another symbol of Easter, spring fever and the whole newness of things. The hen and her eggs. I think more so then some silly bunny hiding eggs.

Now a chocolate bunny is another thing. Yum.

Oh and if you're wondering technically Easter is still going on according to the Christian calendar. It goes right up until Pentecost so I'm not late or a slow poke. I already had finished these weeks ago and clear coated them. I just like to make the joy of sharing, last. ;)

 

Almost the top of the egg. 

A bright blazing sun.

 The bottom of the egg.

 Just another view point of those cute baby chicks. 

See previous eggs.

Polka-dot egg, Tulip and camomile egg, Canada and Croatia egg, resurrection egg.

Resurrection egg

A nice purple egg with the a resurrection theme. OK technically I don't have Jesus directly on the egg but I still have the symbolism. Besides there's not a whole lot of room on the egg for details like having angels around a tomb. But I still have the other stuff on there. Anyways here it is. 

 Lamb of God

Also see previous eggs if you haven't.

Polka-dot egg, Tulip and camomile egg, Canada and Croatia egg.

Canada and Croatia egg

Its another set of red and blue eggs only with a flag theme this time. The Canada and Croatia egg. 
I decided to create an egg which reflected my birth country Canada while the Croatian egg was based on where my parents came from. So it was only fitting to make these. If this proved interesting to other people other then me I may consider making other flag versions next year when there are more plaster eggs being sold in the stores.  Hope you like them.  :)
