Love how you've added those adorable wooden characters in your shop now, btw! :D<br /><br />Thank you for your sweet comment, Sylvia!<br /><br />Nicci, yes, the paper towels thing is a bit tricky. You have to kind of time it to *roll* them gently when they are just about dry, but not quite there yet. Also if you don't overpaint them, I've noticed it helps. My girls have gotten better at that and it does make a difference. With the eggs being so small, they held them up while painting and the side they started with was the side they placed the egg down on. As far as watercolor - it doesn't really stick like the acrylic does, which is a bonus! I thought about using a bakers rack to dry the eggs, but then you'd get little lines from the metal, so you could always remove the paper towel if part of it got stuck on there, sand off that side of the egg until it's smooth again and then redo that side. :D HTH!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272157134061700589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-36331493904462462032010-03-09T06:38:00.594-08:002010-03-09T06:38:00.594-08:00Love the idea of the felt nests and the colored eg...Love the idea of the felt nests and the colored eggs. That's such a cute idea! How did you get the eggs to dry without sticking to the paper towels?

I didn't see them listed on their online shops, but the Beverly's by us sells them. Some etsy shops do sell various sized eggs as well. If you have trouble finding them where you live, let me know and I'm happy to pick some up for you here!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272157134061700589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-57463092135635014322010-03-08T18:05:48.805-08:002010-03-08T18:05:48.805-08:00This is beautiful!
