There are so many "egg"ceptional ideas in bloggyville-
The Easter crafts have been so creative-
I bought a cheap bag of plastic eggs with no ideas-
Next, the spray paint all over the eggs and puff paint
Trying to eliminate the pastels-
So far, so good!
Now, to fill in the empty spots
where the ugly syrofoam peaks through-
I love it-
The monochromatic coloration is exactly what I was looking for-lol
So...
What do you think?
Was it worth the # of steps?
My only problem was the spray paint-
I didn't use my old standby Krylon or even Rustoleum
I used Design Master Vanilla-only for the perfect cream color
but it's mainly used for dry florals- silly me-
what was I thinking (the problem-I wasn't thinking!!)
It had a hard time staying on the plastic eggs-
Krylon, for plastic, in white,
would have made it much simpler therefore, quicker!
Well, take care
Now, to fill in the empty spots
where the ugly syrofoam peaks through-
instead of the usual filler I use-
I spyed some shredded paper used in gift baskets and bags
It was cream colored so it coordinated well with the eggs!
Here is the final product-I love it-
The monochromatic coloration is exactly what I was looking for-lol
sounds like I'm creating a richly enveloped room
with the same colors but different textures-haha
It's plastic eggs-people!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteDraga moja ovo je baš lijepo,prekrasan stolni aražman za Uskrs.
ReplyDeleteClaire, What a fun idea. I once used a Martha Stuart idea, and made these beautiful Easter eggs. I staged them with cute props and took some fun photos. After the holiday and eggs were long gone. I finally finished the roll of film and had it processed. When I picked up the photos I had forgotten that I had put black and white film in the camera, so my beautiful bright eggs came out to be a mixture of gray, as did the rest of my Easter pictures. Thank God for digital.
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea!! I love the textured detail, but simplicity of one color! Great job!!
