Jeg hadde lyst til å lage ett påske egg til nevøen min,
og ettersom han er opptatt av drager og dinosaurer måtte jeg prøve å lage egget litt reptil aktig ;)
*****************
I wanted to alter a easter egg for my nephew,
and since he like dragons and dinosaurs i had to try to make it look like a reptile egg ;)
Egget står oppi en
eske, som jeg har fyllt med litt sisal.
***************************
The egg is placed on a box, and i have filled the box with sisal.
The box was first colored with black gesso, then i attached metallfoil tape that i had embossed.
Colored it with different colors of alcohol ink.
Egget ble malt med
gesso, både inni og utenpå.
*******************
The egg was also painted with gesso, inside and outside.
Then i attached metallfoil tape that i had embossed, on the outside.
And then i colored the whole egg with different colors of alchol ink.
For å få det til å skimre litt :)
********************************
When the egg had dried, i went over it with the pearl ink .
To make the egg shimmer :)
Og min nevø synes det var det stiligste påske egget "ever" ;)
****************
And my nephew think it was the most awesome egg, ever ;)
Og som motsats til reptil egget, måtte jeg lage ett litt mer "dame" vennlig :)
****************
And when i was finished with the reptile egg, i wanted to make a more lady-like one ;)
Dette egget ble malt med
hvit gesso først, på innsiden og utsiden.
Deretter limte jeg på gamle boksider med
mod podge.
Mens det fortsatt var vått, strødde jeg på
glitter fra Tim Holtz.
Når egget hadde tørket sprayet jeg egget med chalkboard i fargen Mint chocolate chip.
*************************
This egg was first painted with white gesso, inside and outside.
Then i glued on old bookpages, with mod podge.
When this was dry, i painted on a layer with Distress crackle paint.
And while it was wet, i sprinkled on some Distress glitter.
When the egg had dried, i sprayed it with chalkboard in the color Mint chocolate chip.
***********************
The ribbon was colored with Tumbled glass and Broken china, to match the feathers.
********************
Glued on some pussy willows, roses and little flowers.
Ønsker dere alle ei riktig god påske ♥
Klem, Maya
