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

Completely gorgeous. Both the gourds and the metallic leafed eggs. I've been wanting to do something like that, but couldn't find any leafing, so had to settle for metallic spray paint and tried to dust it on for a speckled look. It was alright, we'll see how they look after I get the designs on them.

Thanks for all the links.

As for the injector needle, I don't know what having multiple holes in it will do for the whole process, but I usually use a large needle anyway, -16 ga I think, lots faster. I usually have to insert it three times to get all of the egg out.

I speckle all of mine with gold spray paint, because it looks cool. Can't wait to try the leafing, though.

After you posted the link in your auction, I read every post on this thread. I'm going to try some of these ideas this year!
