These are just fabulous ideas on how to show off gorgeous blown decorated Easter Eggs, from Dabbled fave, Wisdom of the Moon. (We linked to her “How to Blow Eggs” tutorial here.) Tons of ideas for making your blown and decorated eggs even more special, for hanging and displaying — including using buttons and snaps! So clever… Read the whole thing!
She’s got a great idea for a simple way to make a very functional Egg Drying Rack. Again. Clever.
And, how to color those eggs using the Ukrainian style technique (Pysanky) is here.
I remember making these when I was a kid… What a fun and unusual treat for Easter and/or Spring in general. I could totally see these for a baby shower brunch at each place setting, maybe topped with an edible flower. The how-to is below!
How to make Cake Eggs:
All you need:
Egg shells (Jumbo would yield larger results, but in this case, I thought brown would be pretty.)
Your favorite light in texture cake batter (for these I just used a white cake mix)
Using an icepick or other sharp pointy object, make a hole in the top of each egg shell. Carefully!…

Also, a really cute idea for birds nest easter cookies in the Spotlight today.
Here’s a new logo design I am working on… It’s for a wellness company (yoga, acupuncture, nutrition, etc) and based on a symbol for abundance that the client liked – It’s meant to evoke a sunrise. (I’m still tweaking the design a bit, too–a few things that I’m not happy with yet!) Which do you like best?
Today at Foodwhirl I’m issuing a challenge… Make your own Peeps!
One of our guest contributors did a great writeup on how she made her Marshmallow Chicks (commonly known as Peeps). She claims they aren’t very pretty, though, so we’re challenging you to do better! Melissa provides the instructions, plus tips on how to make yours better, over at Foodwhirl!
Hi Everybody!! My name is Chrissy P. from Felted Chicken! I’m your average-everyday Felter living & working on Hollywood, CA. I’ve been needle-felting for about a year and a half now, and am always looking for new, interesting, and easy ways to add some extra UMPF to my sculptures. Nancy was kind enough to ask me to share a tutorial on one of these processes.
In addition to the traditional felting techniques that everybody uses (needle & wet-felting, dying my own wool, accenting with tufts of colored wool) I also use an Airbrush to add shadows & gradients to my pieces. …
Happy Illustration (not exactly) Friday!
(I should color last week’s like this, when I have a chance)
