Would you like some eggs with that? Metallic eggs, that is...

Eggs aren't just for eating and they aren't just for Easter.  I've made some for my Spring decor that I like so much, I just may leave them out for a long, long time.  It's so much fun to make something that you can enjoy in your own home.  It helps make your house a home.  Here are some very fancy eggs I made that have a beautiful vintage look to them.

All the Metallic paints and the Metallic Glaze are by Elegant Finish.  They come in a 10 oz. jar and I think they'll last me for about 80 years.  They are wonderful to work with and go on really nicely.  Of course, it's a super messy project because... well... they're eggs... and there's no flat surface to lay them down carefully in between coats.  I put 2-3 coats on each egg.

After all the paints and glazes were dry, I added Prima flowers, using a hot glue gun, except for the silver egg.  I added Mica flakes to that one, while the paint was still wet.  I don't know if I'd do that one again, because it was really messy, but I love how it turned out in the end.   I added a butterfly to the silver egg for a finishing touch.

A nice thing about changing seasonal decor is the thrill of opening a storage box from a previous year and thinking:  "Oh yes!  I made that last year and can't wait to put it out to enjoy again."
