We may be buried in the snow and enjoying yet another below-zero day, but Easter is right around the corner and I am always eager to play with eggs, so I created these ones.
I started with purchased paper-mache eggs, which I painted with brass Distress Paint and let dry.
I then put three colors of Distress Paint on my craft mat. I rolled the eggs around a bit and then spritzed them with water. This is a very messy process, but it created some really neat blends. This is what makes Distress Paint unique and different from other acrylic paints … it will blend and mix and react with water while wet, without becoming muddy, but will become permanent when dry. So, the layer of gold that I put on first did not mix in with the other colors, but it peeks out from behind the other paint.
Of course, these eggs are not yet finished.
