lozkate Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 My son is entering an Easter Egg decorating competition tomorrow and as normal I am last minute. He is using an egg from Tikka (his chicken) which is a lovely blue colour. Any ideas what to do? Thanks Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 if it's blue, can you paint it to look like a wedgewood jasper egg? you'll just need some white gouache or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 We have just entered the competition for our school too. My daughter did the three little pigs and the big bad wolf and my son did characters from Star Wars. People are easy to do - blow the egg (awful waste I know) and then paint it for the head. Glue this on to a painted toilet roll tube for the body. We added eyes, nose and a mouth with bits of felt and bobbly eyes. Then we cut out capes and hoods for the Star Wars people. Pipe cleaners do for the arms and hey presto For animals, the eggs lay on their side on a hoop of pipecleaner, with further bits of pipecleaner for the legs and tails. Add ears, eyes and a nose and you're done. you could do frogs at a pond with blue/green eggs. Sorry, bit of a long reply but this is just up my street but I keep a lot of crafty stuff in the house. I was trying to think of a character with a blue face for your lovely egg but I got a bit stuck Hope this helps Chili xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozkate Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks for all your help. Poet, the egg wasn't quite blue enough and Ben wanted his friends to see the colour, he is very proud of his chickens' blue eggs! He decided that he wanted to turn the egg into a chicken together with red comb and wattles wings and beak! Thanks again for the replies Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
