A thimble full of spring

Another egg to add to your Easter-addled brain! I cracked a large hole in this one, filled it with pebbles on the bottom, dirt on top, and planted a tiny flower inside. The trick was to get it to stand up straight and not roll off the table. I put a glob of Blu Tack underneath to hold the shell in place.

The Greatest Egg

Please accept my apologies for the lack of posts over the last few months. I suppose I have been hibernating this winter. But now in preparation for spring I give you: The Easter Egg!

Here's a survey of my favorite egg decorating ideas this year. There are so many creative ways to decorate an egg aside from the ubiquitous PAAS dyes. This year I've focused on ideas that utilize household items. So get out your dyes, ties, paints and pens and get crafty. 

Personally, I'll be rhinestoning an egg (in honor of my work in the world of bedazzling, i.e. costume design).

A great idea for showcasing those early signs of spring. Plus you can use edible hard boiled eggs, or blow them out and reuse them the next year.
