I love japanese paper so when I heard about this exotic use for it – decopauging it onto hollowed eggshells – I knew I had to try. Using some tutorials online I got the general idea and then I figured most of it out on my own. I’m teaching a class on washi eggs at the Paper Tyger March 27th and April 3rd – call 508-495-1200 to sign up!
-
- Here is my piece of paper, a brush for paste and the egg
-
- Fold your paper over about 3/4″ in on both sides as a cutting guide
-
- cut into your paper, about 1/4 inch strips
-
- Cut your paper fringe into a “picket fence” – point all the ends
-
- here’s your finished piece of paper
-
- put paste on the center uncut part, I used Nori
-
- put your egg on the pasted paper
-
- smooth down the paste around the center
-
- fresh as a daisy!
-
- paste some of the fringe
-
- stick down the fringe in a radial fashion
-
- keep on pasting!
-
- Pasting the final strips
-
- Nori Paste!
-
- Applying some acrylic varnish
-
- Varnished egg!
