Pied beauty

Robins' eggs are a beautiful sign of spring.  I made this necklace a few weeks ago, as a Saturday morning project, in celebration of the eggs' gorgeous blues and dainty freckles.

The splattering technique took a bit of effort -- a few squeezes of brown paint, finding a good dry bristled brush, rotating the beads to ensure an even (yet random) covering.  My fingers were slick with paint and a bit raw from raking over the brush bristles by the end.  And, it was a little challenge to contain the splatters.



Once finished, I went to eat breakfast.

Let him easter in us, be a dayspring to the dimness of us. - g.m.hopkins
