Hi Kristin. Your eggs are really lovely. Many years ago I decided to blow and paint eggs as Christmas ornaments. I always used one theme each year. At first I gave them to a few friends and my family. Then I began giving them to my children's teachers. As you might guess, I became very popular with the teachers. Beginning in about September of every year, no-one in my family was allowed to crack an egg. I painted about 20 years worth of eggs. I then developed a tremor and was unable to paint my eggs. When my mother-in-law died we found her full collection of my eggs. One was wrapped in tape and could barely be identified. I'm guessing it got dropped. Thank you for sharing your eggs with us all.
Super cute and creative. All our chickens make brown eggs so not sure how well the watercolor would show up. But the colors show up great on the white eggs.
(Where you saw Hydrangea,...) I was seeing Geraniums! ☺ I LOVE your eggs! Thanks for the INSPIRATION!!!!! 💓 Those eggs that Walmart has every year *caught my eye this year! I wanted to do blown-out decorated eggs for "keepers", but was having diff. blowing enough (that didn't break!), right b4 Easter last year, SOooo!...I managed to get 6 throughout the past several months![
So, . . . . . you didn't coat them with any type of sealant or whatever?? (or was it an afterthought, after your taping?) Of course I could just spray them (I see that I've got some [Dutch Boy] Fresh Look, acrylic), I'm just wondering what worked -- or failed? -- for you! I have used a spray acrylic on eggs, only over (gingham) FABRIC. Thanks!
[ 'An aside😊: Are (you) Dutch, by any chance? It's not "just the same", but I know that 'VanLeuken' is a very Dutch name! 'Just curious about the name difference/closeness!🤗]
Those are not safe to eat. So not sutable for the european tradition as we are supposed to use them in an egg cracking game and eat them. We use specific egg paints which you can buy in most countries here.

These are gorgeous! Thank you Kristin!

I bought solid wooden eggs, sprayed them with matte primer and watercolor adhered beautifully.
Tulips also look fabulous on eggs 🌷
They'd be a lovely Easter gift. Happy Easter 🐣
I love this idea. I'll pop that in my 'mixed media' list to try some time. 😊
your video really inspired me. I love your classic style. Great job!!!
I am going to get some watercolours and try some of your tips and tricks.

Such a neat idea! 🌸🥚🌷

Amazing!!
Can you give me a link to the Walmart fake egg product; I can not seem to find them - thanks
Can you dye the egg then use watercolor over to add a pattern?
Yes I believe so! I haven't tried it but I bet it would look amazing
Bellisimo
Thank you!
