Various patterns and colors of real birds eggs can be used for your miniature egg collection. Robin's egg blue, cream and brown acrylic paints make the most commonly known colored eggs but you can also use dabs of dark paint on cream to mimic other birds eggs. Find descriptions of natural birds eggs online or in a reference book and create a collection to suit the person whose photo is on the other side.
