So this weekend I have been invited to decorate Easter eggs with Heidi and Harmony. As usual, with any art project, I am most likely going to go completely overboard. I have been online looking at egg stencils. This led me to look at Faberge egg stencils, naturally.
Wow. The stuff I found was great. Since I have decided to go with a Russian theme for my Christmas tree this year, I was so excited to stumble across all this stuff now. I have now become educated on a new term: blown eggs.
Apparently, these are real eggs that have had small holes poked into them at either end and then the contents are “blown” out. Sounds kind of gross really and a bit unsanitary, but if it’s just me I don’t really care all that much. For those of you coming to visit, I would be wary of me offering to make you eggs in the morning. I am just worried about really being able to get in there and rinse the eggs out afterward to make sure nothing funky happens to them.
I also found a site on line that sells blown eggs. Hmmm…they are actually pretty cheap, but it seems a bit extravagant for something I could do myself. Then there is the other alternative of going to a craft store and buying polystyrene eggs. That might work if I decide to do something with fabric and glue or whatever. LOL…I think I may now have a legitimate reason for buying a Bedazzler!!!!
Now if I could just find my statue of St. Basil’s for the tree topper I would really be in business.
