I am planning on making one. I painted the outer wall eggshell white. I find using gold leaf a challenge, but won’t let that stop me.

Thank you so much Carmen. There is a few ways to dust it. You can use compressed air ( sold in cans) or get the artwork displayed in acrylic glass. I simply just used my feather duster worked great 😀

No I didn’t spraypaint the eggs. 🙂 They were white already I just added the gold leaf inside each egg 🙂 If you want them sturdier maybe a thin coat of plaster of paris would be nice. 😀 Just thought.

1) Same question
2) did you spray paint the eggs white, if so what color
Was that front and backside as well. Definitely make it sturdier

Thank you Gina, Oops totally forget to mention I used it to seal all the little holes and cracks in the wood before painting.

I didn’t but that sounds like a great idea. I left mine as is and just did the gold leaf on the inside.

This is amazing. I’m trying to figure how you prevent the shells from further cracking. What did you use the plaster of Paris for?

Hi Marie, I’m so happy to hear you liked the art work. Yes all my eggs were white to start off with. You can spray paint yours white if you’d like of use different color gold leaf maybe a silver leaf would look cute with brown eggs. I simply rinsed my eggs out right after cracking and let them dry before working with them. If there’s a little bit of skin left it’s ok it won’t be that noticeable.
