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

I've read that some people put on really thick coats and wait 24 hrs in between.

However, the way I do it is: lay egg on side in my hand, and paint the visible top half. Set on plastic bag to dry about 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat with other side.

I do 3 coats like this, the first and last are mod podge, but the middle is a clear finish with glitter in it. That one dries a bit tacky so I cover with mod podge. It gives the egg an extra bit of glisten - which I like especially when making Christmas ornaments.

Tip: If you use a foam brush, it allows you to apply a thinner coat.

These are the rub-ons I ordered for my Easter Eggs. These are going to be cute!

You can post from your computer. I don't even have a photobucket account. In the FAQ section they say how to do it, basically start a post as usual then click on the uploads, then click on browse, find the pic in your computer, the hit submit wait a few seconds then highlight the bottom picture name right click and copy then go back to your post and rt click paste. Repeat for as many pics as you have.

Thats my guineas... I love guinea feathers, they are beautiful, and different parts of the guinea have different spot patterns. This photo shows the other spot pattern...

Well, that wins me over. I need guineas (I've bought and hatched eggs before, but never kept any keets past a week or so).
