What could be more enjoyable during the Easter season than painting Easter eggs?
Although a Halloween-themed blog post might be more timely right now, I prefer to share my work chronologically. So, here are some of the Easter eggs I painted!
My parents’ friends run a sanctuary where also chickens live. We contribute financially to the care of some of these chickens, which allows us to receive their eggs. This way, I don’t feel guilty about using real chicken eggs for these little artworks.
After the finished detailing and building of the bodies, I started painting them and decided that she needs something special..
Well I’m a big fan of fantasy books (for example the ,a court of thorns and roses’ series by Sarah J. Maas; ,the Folk of the air’ series by Holly black, the ,six of crows’ series by Leigh Bardugo…..) and Faes are a big part of most of these books. So I decided I wanted to create two Faes on my own. When I started creating those two precious little beings, I didn’t even knew how they were going to look like.
First I formed little heads with tin foil. Then I put peaces of an old newspaper with glue around these balls. Afterwards I started to form the features of their faces with wood paste. These pictures were taken after the wood paste dried. The female Fae- Zerin (the left one on the first picture and the one on the last picture) needed a bit more thats why it was still a bit wet.
Our pastor asked me to paint the backdrop for the nativity play. I painted these two animals, a donkey and a cow.
