Description
Washi eggs are real eggs, in this case chicken eggs, that have been blown out & then the empty shells washed & dried. Handmade Japanese paper called chiyogami is then glued onto the egg using my favorite white glue that happens also to be Japanese. Unlike similar paper-covered eggs, I do not use the picket fence method & have fewer seams on mine. The eggs are then covered with a tiny glass bead glitter sometimes called 'ballentine which adds a bit of sparkle & helps conceal the seam lines. This combination of the paper, glitter & two layers of glue make the eggs remarkably durable & nearly shatterproof. Of course if you step on one or the dog decides to chew on one all bets are off. I have many different colors & patterns of paper that I use but all are limited. Some of my papers are decades old & no longer available. Some are new but now sold out at the supplier. For this reason I do not sell specific colors or patterns. Easter eggs are generally more in the pastel range & Christmas eggs are more in the jewel tone color pallette. Please let me choose. If you order more than one egg you will get different colors-there are no duplicates in a dozen or half dozen eggs. For that reason the only color listed is rainbow. The price of $10.00 is per egg & none of the containers are included. Washi Eggs, Easter Decorative Eggs, Real Japanese Paper-Covered Christmas Egg Ornaments
