Artist Paints Awesome Pop Culture Easter Eggs

Posted on by

Easter has come and gone and while celebrating with eggs and candy, you might have missed these awesome eggs painted by artist Barak Hardley. He spent over 150 hours painting them all up with images of celebrities and pop culture icons.

Some of my favorites are the Stranger Things kids, though one is missing. I like the King Tut and the Pokémon Go egg as well. There are also tributes to some of the greats we recently lost, including Carrie Fisher and Gene Wilder.

You can check out the video or Barak’s website and see them all for yourself.

There are a bunch of cool eggs to check out. This guy is impressive. I’d like to see him in the act of painting one of the eggs. Popped out eye Glenn is the best.

Beeping Easter Eggs for Blind Children: The Rachel Project

Posted on by

In 2005, bomb technician David Hyche was looking for a way for his blind but fiercely independent 2-year-old daughter Rachel to participate in their church’s Easter Egg hunt. David read about the Blind Children’s Center’s beeping Easter eggs online, so he contacted the person who made them and made some for his daughter. His initiative eventually grew into what is now known as The Rachel Project, with bomb disposal experts using their skills in their spare time to make the gadgets for blind children throughout the US.

The beeping Easter egg’s main components are a piezo beeper and a 9v battery. The electronics are placed inside a plastic Easter egg that’s been drilled with holes to make the sound more audible. It costs about $12 (USD) to make one beeping egg.

As David tells Fox News in the video below, the best part about the eggs is that they can be used not just for recreational purposes but to enhance blind people’s location skills as well.

Here’s WPTV News’ report on a satellite beeping Easter egg hunt in Fort Pierce in South Florida:

Head to the International Association of Bomb Technicians & Investigators (IABTI) website to find out how you can make beeping eggs and hold an egg hunt for visually impaired kids.

All Game for Easter: Super Mario Nintendo Easter Eggs

Nintendo Mario Easter Eggs

Easter is fast approaching. Religious significance aside, it’s time to break out your brushes and pots of paint once more because it’s time to design those Easter eggs! Instructables user Imnopeas got a headstart on everyone else by doing her eggs early this year for her son, and they turned out great. I think it’s safe to assume that her kid’s a gamer from the looks of these eggs.

In case you’re out of ideas and want to copy her idea, you’re in luck because she’s shared the details of the project on Instructables.
