This week, let’s look to the versatile egg for inspiration. To help get you started, I’ve collected three different artist’s take on the subject:
Man Ray, L’oeuf et le coquillage, 1931. Photograph.
Nickolas Muray, Untitled, ca. 1922-1961. Photograph. George Eastman House, Brooklyn, New York.
Claes Oldenburg, Sculpture in the Form of a Fried Egg, 1966/1971. Canvas, dyed cotton, and expanded polystyrene. Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Illinois.

We sneezed our way through last week; this week let’s write about our trusty sidekick: the hanky. Will the handkerchief in your scene be catching sneezes, or waving farewell? Will it mop up a sweaty brow, or veil a sneaky smile?
