Then I used burnt umber mixed with a little h20. I used an OLD toothbrush and splattered the brown on the eggs to make them look like Robins eggs. My oldest came home and saw them and asked if they were real... I guess I accomplished my goal in making them look real. :O)
Remember the apothecary jars I made out of baby food jars? Well that is where my beautiful robins eggs are. I love the way they look inside. What do you think?
I will show you tomorrow where I put the jars. I have no light right now for good pictures. Sorry! I only used 6 of the 12 eggs in the apothecary jars so I needed to find somewhere else to use the rest. Could not get any pictures of that something wonderful due to the light issue, so again until tomorrow...... Have a great day/night! :O)
