Great Book of Egg Decorating
Embossed, resist-dyed, carved, and decoupaged eggs fill the pages of this pretty book, which not only explains exactly how to create these delicate beauties but also offers 20 projects that utilize the decorated eggs for more than just sitting in a bowl. Wreaths, garlands, mobiles, centerpieces, topiary, ornaments, package trims, place cards, and party favors all sport colorful eggs bedecked with elaborate wax designs, paint, ribbons, colorful gift-wrap paper, and even stickers. Excellent step-by-step photos and design templates mean that even beginners can manage these. A source list would have been a nice addition, to guide readers on where to find the ostrich, goose, duck, and quail eggs, but chicken eggs will work for most of the projects and sources are no doubt abundant on the Internet.--Amy Handy
