I was inspired by MamaRoots to try out a new project this weekend. We had some wooden eggs from
Casey Wood laying about, just begging to be decoarted for spring. So I bought a small, cheap wood burner (my dear husband is gonna plotz when he finds out how many amps this thing draws). I clumsily etched out designs, and with each awkward attempt managed to singe the tips of my fingers as well. I am surprised the smell of burning flesh didn't startled anyone on board. Hmmmmm. In the end we had a nice collection of eggies waiting to be painted with watercolors.
My painting technique is as primitive as my designs, but we had fun doing it and the kids loved their little eggs (Zach stashed away the ones he painted in his treasure chest before I could take a photo). Check out
MamaRoots' tutorial on the process, and her amazing beautiful story eggs! My burned and blistered fingers have a renewed, deeper appreciation for her talents :)

Ouch! Hope the burns and blisters are not too bad, They will heal quickly! :)
I love these eggs! Beth
Awww...I think you did a fantastic job, even with singed fingers (ouch!) Finn would riot for the truck egg, I think. Very cute!
these are GORGEOUS! great idea.
Cool idea, minus the burning flesh.
Very cool!
oh they turned out so lovely! Gorgeous!! I think most wood burners has a aloe plant growing near by!
oooooo...so inspiring! i bought a woodburner a while back but was too intimidated to actually fire the thing up.
you've inspired me to pull it out and see what i can do with it...
Love your eggs! They turned out wonderfully! The sun egg is so cheery. I have a wood burner that I have been looking forward to trying out ~ thanks for inspiring me.
