I like to have a pumpkin on the table for Halloween, hearts on Valentine's and some eggs at Easter. It's all in an attempt to keep it simple, but festive around here. These have been sitting next to a vase of daffodils the past week and boy have I enjoyed them. They came to be when my friend Dave asked, "why am I never on the blog." (Dave's one of my best friends from high school that was in town for a couple of days) My response was easy and direct, "ya gotta craft if you want to be on the blog!"
I had a bowl of paper mache' eggs that needed doing something with and I just got a box of the new Folk Art colors by Plaid. Dave base coated, I polka-dotted, and sealed them with some Extreme Glitter also by Plaid.
Somewhere in the middle Dave said, "Jeez Candie, you make Martha seem like a Saint." Hilarious. Me?!?
**The eggs took approximately 1 1/2 hours to make by air-drying, but you could speed things up with a hair dryer.
Hi, I’m Candie. I design jewelry and crafts, author books, teach classes and host television programs. I thrive on simple ideas that anyone can achieve. I also love projects made from unexpected materials that stand the test of time. Join me as I lead a creative life! 
Normally I am not a big fan of decorated eggs, except for the Ukraine type…..but these are really cool and look like they take a lot longer to make! (of course, if I did them, they WOULD take a lot longer to make! LOL!)
Nice work!!!
