These eggs are made from dies that I recently got. They are about 2" x 1 1/2" and I decided to cut them from the heavyweight kraft cardstock that I have and color them with my Prismacolor pencils. I cut and layered four on top of each other to make them look like they were cut from wood and so I could add thread to them to hang. I hadn't gotten finished with them before Easter so I'm going to be putting them away with the Easter decorations until next year.
A good glue pen came in very handy for gluing these together. They kind of remind me of the Dresden paper ornaments that used to be popular around the holidays.
Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThey DO look like they are made from wood. How clever.
ReplyDeleteOh, ha, I was expecting maybe bluebird eggs in the nesting box. Those are far prettier. It must have been fiddly enough gluing them together even with a good glue pen.
ReplyDeleteThe PBJ made me smile, grape jelly is totally unknown here (still, pretty much, definitely when I was a child), so my mother used to make ours with raspberry jam.
