I had boiled some eggs for Easter and had already decided to decorate them with my own art materials instead of the store-bought dyes. It was fun decorating this egg with a Micron pen #8. A couple of times I accidentally smeared the ink. So I decided to let some time elapse and lean the egg against a pink eraser to keep the recently inked side upright. I had to use "Wite-out" to cover the smears. I think I will try doing an egg for each of my Easter guests. I am posting this to Paint Party Friday. Take a look at all the new art for the week. Happy Easter & Happy Passover everyone.
Love your Rixty Easter egg!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate. It was fun.
DeleteA great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne, And a learning experience, too.
Deletewot a great idea i usually marble my eggs but i won't be now
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, I saw another great idea on Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's site, too. Use plastic eggs and cover the seam with tape. Then use matte medium and cover the eggs with torn pieces of decorative napkins or tissue paper.
DeleteSuch a good idea and it would be a wonderful gift for your guests.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean, I will see if I need to seal them with anything. But I think I won't since they are real eggs and that might make them toxic.
Deletewow Gloria, its wonderful. Annette x

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, LonettA. Have a good week.
DeleteI love how you worked on eggs! I just think I might have at give that a try! Thanks so much1
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karen
DeleteI just got a tip from Annette Carlo to use LePen. It is permanent and does not smudge.
Nice job!!! Eggs are so much fun to work on!! There is a pen that is alcohol based and it is called LePen, and it is permanent. It works best on any slick surface and real eggs, without smudging. It dries quick too! I bought mine at Michaels craft store. I am going to do a post about it on my blog soon. I just thought I would share that bit of info. At Christmas, that's what a lot of sales people use to personalize ornaments, but they never want to share that info. Anyway, they are a great purchase! Have a great week! :0) Share Humanity
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Annette. I will pass that along.
DeleteHave a Happy Easter! I love that you incorporated the challenge this week onto your easter eggs!
ReplyDeleteSorry I am so late answering your very nice comment. Thank you!, Kelly.
DeleteAlways can find new things to tangle. I think working on 3-D objects is a challenge. Have the same issue when doing Christmas ornaments. Looks nice and sure your guests will appreciate your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Donald. You are right because you never know where to stop in order to keep the pattern correct.
DeleteAwesome!!! Love the eggs :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Marta

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ann.
Deleteyou did a great job on that egg! I've done Ukrainian eggs and they're hard to do so I'm so impressed by yours!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, Did you get my email? I bet your eggs were gorgeous! Much more detailed.
DeleteLooks great! I can imagine it's very hard to zentangle on a round piece like an egg. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you again. I appreciate your comments.
DeleteI wonder what bird lay that egg? Nifty art! You'll have to get yourself "Lepen" that Netty suggested, sounds like the tool you need for this art.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter ()..()

DeleteWhat a wonderful idea for your eggs. The "endless" nature of the tangle, the oval eternal egg -- it all takes on wonderful symbolism this time of year. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, I hadn't thought of it that way.
DeleteGreat zentangle egg. What creativity, love it. Blessings, Janet PPF
