Painted Easter Egg Designs
In the Designer's Words: "These are wooden craft eggs perfect to decorate with paints and mediums. Each egg started with two coats of white gesso. I created a variety of eggs using different products. The sky is the limit as far as decorating your egg! I have three additional eggs using more techniques and products on my blog post that I hope you will check out! I had a lot of fun creating these using products from our sponsors."
