Yikes! Don't sell yourself short, and don't worry, not everyone is going to appreciate your handiwork. (Even Van Gogh was criticized that his art was child like and primative!) Everyone is a critic. Enjoy the process and do what you love...you'll find a niche of buyers I am sure.

Also, $2...for all the work and effort into you put into each egg...it seems rather cheap. I am going to buy a small tree to put my decorated eggs into. I will take a bunch of pictures of the tree all set up, for when I sell these next year...so people can have a visual. For now, I must practice!!!

Also, Hobby Lobby and Michael's have a great return policy. Don't be afraid to take them back if the rubons aren't used.

I couldnt sell the darn things for 1 lousy dollar
As for the rub ons, I ordered them online 10 days ago and only got them yesterday. I also bought a small tree at the jockey lot last week to put them on, oh well, it will go by the fire place layden with my pride and joy eggs

I got mine going for $6 each or 2 for $10 at this point and I live in a very small town (and I love it that way

) Try doing what Kansaseq said and post them craigslist, I got so many emails about them it flooded my inbox

Hi! Here's something for folks that can't find or run out of rub-ons/stickers/etc.
Feathered eggs!

I did some others with gold-painted eggs and those looked cool too.

Very nice! But you know you can't put something like that up and not tell us how you put the feathers on them.

Hi! They are sUper eAsy. Pick out the feather that's going on the egg, brush a thin layer of mod podge on the egg where you want to put it. Lay on the feather. Brush a layer over the feather (and while it's wet, you can use a stiff bristle paintbrush straighten the 'webbing'). If the feather shaft doesn't want to lay flat, wait til the mp dries and cut off the 'sticking-up-part' with small scissors (or I used cuticle-clippers) and give it another layer of mp. Or use a tiny dab of superglue to hold the shaft down and then sand the shaft down flat.
I need to find some 'colored' feathers. I mostly have black/white, blues here. I'm kind of annoyed, I threw away a box of pheasant feathers --- they would have been glorious.

Thanks ~ some of the girls are molting now so off to the coop to check for cool feathers!

Oh WOW....they are nice.

Makes me want to go get some colored chickens so I can make some.

Dipsy those are amazing!!! I just happen to have a coop full of those things that are losing their feathers at an alarming rate

That to me looks like the project of the day!! Sorry DH I planned to do the laundry, clean the floors and toilets and make dinner but you have got to see what Dipsy taught me
