MORE ON THE BITS AND BOBS THEME
 
 
This is the same idea as in the previous post and will be my swap for next month, this time using eggshells laid on pva glue, with alcohol inks to colour.  Eggshells are soaked and lining removed before applying to glue. This gives quite a matt finish, but you could use a gloss varnish to finish if you prefer.

  1. Wow this is absolutely amazing - you would never in a million years think that the 'jewels around the frame were eggshells - you are a genius

  2. A beautiful frame and it does have a jewel like quality - I thnk I shall to go and retrieve some egg shells from the compost heap :)
    Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog Sheelagh, they are much appreciated and love the comment about your daughter fluttering her eyelashes against a label to help her sleep - children are so funny aren't they?
