Hello, and welcome to my world of Happy Eggs!

It all started with a curious collection - not the most curious, but curious it is indeed - of large ostrich eggs. I found - and still do - these ancient dinosaur-like eggs so fascinating. So I went to an ostrich farm, greeted the fluffy mums and gratefully received a few of their eggs (empty, mind you). 

‍Have you ever seen or held one? The shell is so thick and beautifully structured. And the colours! I had to do something with this enormous source of inspiration so I picked up my pencils and started drawing the eggs. Just the eggs, trying to get the colour right.

After that, my wonky mind started to wander - as it so often does - and I thought how funny it would be if the eggs where characters, main figures in wonky situations. I started to draw postcards with these prehistoric eggs as a main figure for my friends and family. Whenever someone was ill, had his or her Birthday, needed to celebrate or was in need of a little hug, I drew eggs to make others happy. 

At some point my brother and sister in-law (grateful receivers of a whole bunch of Happy Eggs) motivated me in selling my designs. Spreading more happiness with my eggs sounded like a splendid idea. A few designs and a webshop later: here we are! 
‍With my designs, I share this little piece of the my world.

‍Whether its pencil, charcoal, ecoline or water colour, I use whatever feels natural at that moment and whatever suits the design most. I love to create a little world of my own, but even more so, I love to create designs for you. Whatever the request (your very own writing paper or a specially designed card for your loved one), let me know and I'll create it.

I hope my Happy Eggs bring you as much joy as it brings me.

- Barbara
