Easter Crafting: How To Create Dotted Easter Eggs

Hello lovelies!

Excuse my absence, I haven't been very productive and energetic in the past few weeks. Hopefully that will change soon.

As every year, I spend a little bit of time painting Easter eggs. This year I have been inspired by the very talented Elspeth McLean, an Australian artist who takes dotillism to another level.

So today I want to show you three dotted Easter eggs I did and there's a tutorial (well more of a video recording the process) for each of them!

Easter Crafting: How To Create Dotted Easter Eggs

All eggs were decorated using acrylic paints, dotting tools and a small brush. I considered using nail polish but it would make the job much harder since it dries so fast. A drop of acrylic paint stayed wet for the whole time I was decorating.

This first egg is inspired by the colourful painted stones Elspeth does and it's also my favourite of all three!

And now the promised tutorial:

For this pattern I've used colours that are usually used in Czech folklore art including painted Easter eggs...

How I did it:

And this last one was an experiment with acrylic paints that I've never used but I probably won't use again because they are not very opaque and dry glossy and uneven. I still like the egg though ;)

Here's how I did it:

I hope you've enjoyed this post and maybe it will inspire you to decorate your own Easter eggs! Sorry it's not nails but there are more things I like in this world apart from nails :) If you would like to see my previous Easter adventures, you can see it here and here.

Have a nice Easter break and let me know what you think of my Easter eggs! Lucie x

Oh wow! So pretty Lucie! Now I wish we had some white eggs at home. Not sure why but it's hard to find white eggs in Australia - they're all brown :( Anyways, Happy Easter to you lovely! xx

Sorry for the late answer Maria - it is hard to find white eggs here in the UK too, these are from Czech Republic :)

She is absolutely amazing, I really love her mandala stones but the rest of her art too!

Thanks for responding! I've just spent the last hour looking at Elspeth's art, she is very talented, I can definitely see the source of some of your nail art inspiration. If only there were more hours in a day to have more time for our own art & expression ☺

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 04/03/2015 15:00

Aww thank you so much Jill! I like to do all sorts of art and crafts..if only I had more time...
