The solid colors of the PAAS Easter-egg coloring kit, while very suitable for serious scientific investigation, were really just a little too plain by themselves. Fortunately the kit also included four paint-on colors and a couple of brushes. So I had a go.
Now, I can draw a stork carrying a baby as well as anyone… on a piece of dry, flat paper. But it wasn’t quite so easy on the wet, slippery egg. The paint was taking forever to dry, and guests were coming in an hour…
This is what I ended up with:
As you can see, I somehow gravitated toward fertility symbols—funny how that happens at Easter with the onset of Spring. I did think of including a few goats and maybe the great god Pan—or just naked female figures—but there wasn’t time. Maybe next year!

I think they are terrific, fun eggs. Certainly better than I could do.

Aren’t the bunnies great? But I just love the storks…you can’t quite see from the photos, but the storks’ wings are flapping, and the feet trail out behind. And really, who puts *storks* on easter eggs?? :-)

I bet your company loved the egg painting, as do I. My favorite is the stork.

I think they were more interested in the chocolate eggs, and the big chocolate bunny, that also occupied the Easter basket ;-)

They’re great! I love the new metallic paints they’re including. We didn’t have anything like that when I was a kid.

Yes, the metallic yellow, or gold, is especially nice. Unfortunately, a thin coat of these paints barely covers the base dye underneath, while a nice thick coat takes hours, even overnight, to dry…
