BEAUTY: Watercolor For Easter--Lucy at Craftberry Bush

For Easter, I am inspired by these lyrical hand-painted watercolor florals on craft eggs, created by Lucy over at Craftberry Bush. I love the way the loose, watery medium works on an unexpected surface like an egg.

Eggs For Easter by Caroline Södergren

Swedish artist Caroline Södergren creates stunning eggs using a batik process that involves dyes and layers of layers of wax! Amazing.

Artistic Easter Eggs

Craft blogger Allison Murray at Dream A Little Bigger has posted some artistic, beautiful alternatives to traditional dyed Easter eggs. Hurry, Easter is tomorrow!

The Galaxy Easter Egg is pretty amazing, and easy to do with a base of black paint and a spattering of space-y nebula colors on top (gold makes gas clouds, white makes stars).

Gold Leaf Easter Eggs are fairly easy as well. You can buy leaf and sizing (glue) at any craft store.

And finally, a bit of watercolor or watered-down food coloring creates amorphous blobs which you can then outline, in a very loose artistic style, with a black fine-line marker to create the impression of petals and leaves on these Watercolor Easter Eggs.

For tutorials on each egg, click on either the name of the egg or a photo.
