It is hard for me to believe I have not yet posted one decorated egg this year! You may already know I am so obsessed with the whole egg dyeing process! With Easter only two short days away, I am sharing a few of this year’s decorated eggs today on Friday field trip.
Every year, I try to decorate, at least a few of my eggs, differently than I have ever done before. This year, I created picnic themed Easter eggs! Using dye and adding some watercolor detail, I chose three picnic icons and created my interpretations on eggs! The icons? A watermelon, a red checked tablecloth – complete with ants – and a corn on the cob! You know you can’t have a picnic without these items, right?
I dyed an egg part red and part green for the watermelon egg, then used watercolor paints to add some additional detail.
The corn on the cob egg started as a yellow dyed egg.
For the picnic tablecloth egg, I applied red watercolor paint to a white egg using a small square cut from a kitchen sponge. Using a sponge, rather than a paintbrush, I was able to add some texture to the egg. Then, I just added the obligatory picnic visitors with some glue!
Did you come up with some new creations in egg dyeing this year?
Thanks so much for stopping by. For those who celebrate – wishing you and those you love. a very blessed Easter.
Have a wonderful weekend. Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie xo
