Thyme to hop on over to see my salt dough Easter egg ornaments and carrots

A few weeks ago I posted this picture of
 salt dough eggs and carrots I was making

you were all curious to see what I was going to

do with these carrots and eggs

Well.......the wait is finally over!
I painted them of course

carrots, carrots a rabbits delight!

beautiful pastel eggs!

I then sealed them

 I stained the carrots using a gel varnish

and

 I used a matte spray varnish on the eggs

I then drilled holes in them

and

strung them with homespun

I had these wooden boxes that came with handles

which I took off

I base coated the boxes black

when dry I painted over them with light ivory

I painted 3 boxes with rabbits on them

using a

Terrye French 

design

side views

I cut a piece of wood about 32" tall x 1" wide

I then cut 16  3/8"dowels of various lengths

I drilled holes and inserted the dowels through

I poured plaster of paris in the box and let it set

 I base coated with black then light ivory

I antiqued them using a gel stain

I added some colored spanish moss

I can't WAIT to see what this is all going to look like......

how about you???

I tied my ornaments on

the dowels

how cute is this?

I added a home spun bow and tags to the tops

a carrot tree!

a carrots and egg tree!

I

 LOVE 

them!

Happy Painting!
