The photo on the right shows the egg as it progresses with more scales added. The photo on the left shows the start of that spiral pattern, which ensures that all of the scales are able to be overlapping as you continue to add to the egg.
From there, you’ll start placing the scales overlapping each other in a spiral pattern. It’s time to start placing the “scales” into the egg! You’ll want to start with the first tack at the very center of the top of the egg. In this example, a majority of the thumbtacks are a darker metallic green, whereas a few thumbtacks were painted with a pearlescent lime color to add a bit of variety to the scales on the egg. If you are looking to have a bit of a color variation to your egg (which adds a bit of depth and realism), you’ll want to be sure to paint some of your eggs a lighter shade. Once you’ve placed the first batch of thumbtacks into the box you’re using, you’ll be able to begin the painting process.
