This simple wooden bangle was turned into an amazing mixed media piece to be treasured for years to come. 

Items needed for this project:

egg shells (cleaned/membrane removed/dried)
acrylic paint: lavender
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Mod Podge, high gloss
alcohol inks (purple, red, yellow--shown here)
Alcohol
Emery board

•   Paint bangle with lavender paint. Dry

•   Spread thin layer of glue around outer bangle,
    working in small areas at a time.
•   Picking up pieces of egg shells, layer on top
    of glue, smashing egg shell to break.
    Continue until bangle is covered.  Let dry.
•  Holding alcohol bottle & let drops fall onto the
    egg shell pieces.  Alcohol will spread & fill in
    the cracks.
•   When inked as desired, use a Q-tip dipped in
     alcohol to spread color to any white egg shell
     showing.  Let dry.
•   Use the emery board to smooth the edges of
     the bangle.
