No photo today folks. The morning and afternoon were spent on errands and chores.
Rain. Rain. Rain. Even our evening walk was in the rain. Poor puppy dog.
Painting has begun. Unfortunately, there were a few mishaps.
One of the eggs (a nice green one) magically sprouted a second hole. Painting the shells with regular acrylic was more trouble than it was worth. Three layers and still not a uniform depth. Streaky. A switch to acrylic enamel solved that particular problem, but added to the dry time. An experiment painting on top of a base coat of pysanky ink was a total waste of time. Another experiment -- one of those 'DUH' moments -- we'll call it, "I wonder what it will look like if I do this..." Yeah. DUH. One egg that is probably beyond recovery, but I'll try to save it if at all possible. For now it's in the reject pile.
Finally, three eggs are finished. Except for the sealant. Simply too tired to do much more.
That's all for tonight, ou. I'm off to dreamland. May your dreams be happy and you rise in the morning refreshed and ready to start the day.
Counting blessings. Wynken, Blynken and Nod. Here I come.
