Art:Spring Egguinox 2012

Spring Egguinox 2012 was a contest run by Prometheus during Easter time, 2012. Similar to the December Daily Doodles, a new contest was posted every weekday for approximately two weeks, from the 2nd to the 15th of April. Spring Egguinox 2012 was the sixth series of egg-themed daily doodles, the first two series of which were known as the Easter Easel. The contest was renamed to Spring Egguinox for the 2010 edition. This page documents the contests, winners and prizes of the Spring Egguinox events in April 2012.

 * "YARR!"


 * "SHH!" a librarian hissed.


 * The pirate was puzzled. She'd never had a victory yarr shushed before. She looked at her newly won booty--a book called TREASURE ISLAND--and then at her defeated opponent...and found him glaring at her.


 * "Good game?" she said.


 * He stomped off in a huff.


 * She shrugged, sheathed her sword, and went looking for her companions.


 * One of them burst out of a nearby aisle with an armful of books and a huge grin. "Come and look! I found a whole section on crafting! I've called dibs on this book about mosaics."

Budclare of Meridian won a blue orchid and Etiquette's prize-winning egg.

Honorable mentions Minisem, Herowena, Locu, and Cattrin also received Etiquette eggs.

 * I sat for a bit, feeding my impending post-Easter chocolate coma, and noticed how I've never seen a doodle about egg dying! This egg reminds me of all the neat things you can paint, draw and dye onto an egg for the classic Easter tradition.


 * Your challenge today is to decorate an egg, or similarly round, three dimensional object at your disposal, with paints, stickers, crayons, dye, whatever you'd wish, but the result must be Puzzle Pirates themed or inspired.


 * But please keep it simple! Try to avoid making the egg/similar object unrecognizable, use as much of its surface as possible, it's the challenge of it's shape that makes it fun. :)


 * Take periodic photographs of your starting materials, at least one progress shot, and a final shot. Be sure to include a card (Wait, this is my contest, right? Better make that a hand then, you're bound to be a mess from the dye anyways) with your pirate name and ocean for each photograph as proof. When submitting your fantastic creation, upload your images to a photo hosting site. Use image tags to display your 600px, or smaller, final image and include all other shots in hyperlinks.
