These happy Easter eggs were inspired by vintage Pyrex bowls
AND by two previous projects I've created inspired by the same bowls.

'Inspiration comes from everywhere' is a phrase many creatives use -
and it's certainly true for me, as well as 'inspiration comes from nature'.
Another source of inspiration for me is my own previous projects.
I love using similar concepts and elements from my stash
to create new 'home decor that's not from a store' in different seasons!


I hope you enjoy this Easter decor project!
Be a good egg! Continue reading for an easy paint tutorial...

The 'Butterfly Gold' Pyrex pattern has two simple elements
that are very easy to replicate : butterflies and flowers. 

I used artist's acrylic paints and a round brush,
along with an alcohol pen to add the details:

The eggs themselves are ceramic,
previously painted with a faux 'kintsugi' treatment,
so I repainted three of them white
(in an eggshell finish, naturally!)
before getting started with the details.

One additional egg was painted in an 'egg yolk yellow' hue,
and a thick stripe of that color was painted onto a white egg.

Adding the floral and butterfly motifs was made simple
using a yellow alcohol ink pen and a very thin paint brush
with a watery consistency white paint:

My goal was to use the elements in a different way on each egg...

The yellow band was accented with a line of white daisy flowers,
and the solid yellow egg displays a single white butterfly.

One white egg has dancing yellow butterflies all over it,
while the other has a row of two sizes of yellow daisies circling the egg.

With the addition of some yellow paper shred and other color-coordinated eggs,
the Pyrex bowls become Easter 'baskets' and display the eggs perfectly!

Do you collect vintage kitchen ware or dishes?
I hope you consider letting that pattern inspire you!
There's always a way to incorporate the things you love
into your home decor - every season of the year.
