We had a workshop at Karen's to decorate eggs. She had a big bowl full of goose eggs for us. Jan and April started using a tool to blow the eggs out first, since we were planning to collage on them. We got two eggs done and decided it was going to take all day to blow them all out, so we just hard boiled the rest of them.
Above shows two eggs that were first colored using alcohol inks, then had pieces of paper napkins collaged over the eggs. I love that little fox image.
We had a package of Jane Davenport mixed media collage napkins and everyone loved them and used them.
Above shows Pinky's alcohol ink colored, pen doodled egg in progress.
Three eggs.
Another view, same eggs.
April created this gem using one of the Jane Davenport napkin images. Worked great!!
Here are all the eggs. It was a lot of fun! Everyone inspired each other with their techniques.
Next up, April has challenged us to try a paper mache project. Till then, be well.
We did a mandala drawing workshop this week at Gwen's house. April was our fearless leader, drawing inspiration from Robin Robin Peterson Neumann's wonderful work. I put in a link there for Robin's blog but I can't seem to make it visible unless you put your mouse over it. But take a look at her blog, very inspirational.
Above is Pinky's beginning.

This is as far as Gwen got during our session.
Pinky got this far.
Jan finished hers the next day. She used some small rubber stamp dog images.
Jan's completed.
It was another fun day!
