    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    I'm sitting here with 2 dozen goose eggs and 1.5 dozen green & brown chicken eggs and not nearly enough time before our Farmer's Market Holiday Market on Saturday where I hope to sell them. At the stores over the last few weeks, I found a total of 5, yes 5 transfer choices. :( next to NO...

    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    I really can't believe how beautiful some of these eggs are! Just GORGEOUS! I just ordered an ModPodge assortment pack of bottles, and some new caps. I am so excited to get started on this years lot, but I still have to setup my 'work station'. I have an idea of how I'm going to paint them...

    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    Admittedly some are yellow-ish due to the copious amounts of red clay the geese decided to bury them under. I just washed & washed using a toothbrush and some natural toothpaste! I figure it worked great on all my other "white" projects with stains, like my dry erase board & resin chairs, and...

    I've had 2.5 dozen goose eggs sitting on the shelf for just this time of year! Now if I can finish with my cookbook production, I can get to painting!!!!! Can't wait to see everyone's pictures. I have some eggs left from last year I didn't get to either! Would be nice to make a few bucks...

    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    They are called Nest Egg gourds and I found them online while researching heirloom & traditional crops. Legend says this is what they used "back in the day" before wooden eggs to teach the hens where to lay. I don't know if it's too late or not, I'm no expert, never even grown a gourd before...

    I have a contribution too I've been working on... I grew a BUNCH of "Nest Egg" Gourds. Once dried they can be painted as with any egg, except they won't break like eggs, you can use traditional tools to drill the holes and they can be tinted or painted any color!!!! check these out...

    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    Hi Everyone... first, I must say that of course the tree isn't done... we've just gotten started really. The tree is a white fake tree... I don't like it very much and wanted a fresh cut one this year, but the budget and all doesn't call for it. So I took our old fake white tree, usually...

    I finally have mine ready to share! The power outage helped a lot I never bothered with any of the bead caps and stuff... I didn't really want to spend any money making these. I spent $5 in stickers & rub-ons... one sheet of rub ons won't even come off on paper so that was a total waste...

    A needle & glue!! THOSE are the ingredients I've been missing! So some of you are using a need to thread the ribbon or cord through the egg?? THat makes so much sense!!

    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    I still don't understand how you all are getting these ribbons & cords down into and back out the bottom of your eggs!!!???!!! Perhaps I didn't understand, my holes are VERY SMALL... I thought that was the goal... so small I couldn't fit the skewers in when I was painting them.. I made these...

    Quote: We took out our fake tree two weeks ago just SO we could take that time to train our kitten to keep off of it. I JUST LOVE MY SPRAY BOTTLE!! Soon we'll put up the unbreakables for additional training, and then we'll be ready for the breakables! Sorry to hear you lost some... did they...

    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    I just wanted to say.. these eggs are HARD to break! I thought they would crack easily but today I was crushing up extra egg shells.. and in there was a couple of "rejects" from the ornaments project, blown & baked but a little too cracked or something.. anyway... it took a GREAT deal of...

    Blue/Brown Eggs, Easter/Christmas Eggs - Getting my craft on!!

    Ok... I got a few eggs blown out and cooked in the microwave.. some store bought whites and a couple brown ones from home. Used a bunch of things to make the holes... a sewing pin was best, went straight in without cracking any of the eggs, and then you could chip away at the hole to make it...
