Bored Panda got in touch with Elena from Faunaclay, who made some of the Easter eggs featured in this list and she was kind enough to answer some of our questions. Firstly, we wanted to hear more about how she started making handcrafted items.
“I started my creative career with handmade ceramics, or rather with mugs with drawings of animals. After a while, I began to sculpt animals from polymer clay, as well as to draw on wooden saws. My theme is the animal world, as if it were wild or domestic animals. I love to create animal pieces, each of which is unique and created entirely by hand.”

“With these animals I want to convey the admiration of the world, its tiny and beautiful creatures, and nature. Each item has its own story behind it, which makes it alive,” she shared. While the internet is full of people sharing their cool DIY projects, Elena is one of the rare people who made it more than just a hobby.

So if you are inspired to get into some DIY work but have struggled to pull it off, decorated Easter eggs are a great way to start. So we asked Elena to share a bit more about her process. “I paint wooden eggs,” she explained. “The egg should be smooth and dry. First, I make a sketch with a pencil. Both acrylic paints and acrylic gouache (Holbein) are suitable for coloring.”

“I use the second option because these paints are very easy to use, have rich colors. They combine the advantages of acrylic and gouache. The day after the coloring, when the egg is completely dry, I cover it with acrylic varnish, glossy or matte. Now the egg is ready!” she shared with Bored Panda.

“Basically, the only question is the price. It’s just that not everyone can buy something original. But people admire and it makes them happy, even if they don’t buy,” she added. So if you want to see more of her work or perhaps even purchase some handmade crafts for yourself, check out her Instagram, website or see some more of her creations on Pinterest.

#32 Painting These Eggs Gave Me So Much Nostalgia And Happiness
One of my favorite childhood memories with my sister was dying eggs the day before Easter. We didn’t have many traditions but we looked forward to this one every year.
I plan on painting some more and throwing them in the basket this year and having an Easter decorating party with her and our kids as a new tradition.
