a few egg-decorating tips!!

Hello everyone,

Easter is just around the corner and I just  thought to challenge myself with some egg decorating mission and here I dived down to the concept and came up with some very easy and quick egg decorating tips.  As I am still exploring a variety of products/supplies and techniques I got a very basic and hands-on list needed to decorate the eggs.

First up you can work with Ranger Perfect-Pearl metallic range powder.  You can just put a little gel-medium on it, even that that comes with perfect pearls and just brush across with the powder.  I used gold here and it gives a very nice effect.

Second, you can use Sharpie metallic fine-point markers that comes in Gold, silver and bronze.  Metallic pens just work wonders on the eggs. You can just play around with any patterns that you like, you can doodle, 

you can just make geometrical shapes, sky is the limit.   

Here's what I did- I painted my egg with blue water-based acrylic paint and then 

took my bronze metallic pens and made these wavy patterns around.  

I tried to write with it in few places.

Third, my favorite is mixed media.  I dipped the egg in coffee, yes coffee, for sometime so that it takes that effect and then tried using red and black acrylic paints on it and a few stamps and 

white dots here and there.
