Thank you, nelgkel. I didn't get around to doing as many eggs this year....it's been a busy fall and early winter.....but I enjoy the egg art and I'm hoping to make some more after Christmas!

Thanks!

Just thought I would add a few more pics of some eggs I did for Christmas and gave to relatives...these were painted black and gold. (btw - my mom really wanted to help, so she tied the ribbon and did the bead cap stuff. I just paint 'em ) Funky Fleur-de-lis: Eventually I...

Quote: Another thing I really like about the ink....it dries fast! I can finish some eggs in one setting...it dries fast enough (most of the time ) for me to put my fingers on it without smudging as I work my way around the egg. The etched egg is the only one like that that I've done so...

Quote: Thanks 2ndtime, On the etched egg I just used black acrylic artist's ink. I found it at Hobby Lobby. All I do is paint it on the surface of the egg, and then scratch off the design with a safety pin. Pretty simple....but time consuming (depending on your design!) I'm trying to crank...

Thanks guys! I like hearing which ones you guys like best...it helps give me an idea of what to work on for the future. Sounds like I'll have to crank out a few more etched ones......eventually......

Thank you! ...hmmm.....maybe I missed my calling... Everyone seems to like the etched one....if only they didn't take so long to make!!! I'll have to work on more of those after the holidays...

Quote: Caleb you are so talented! Your artwork is beautiful. Do you have a website that you sell some of your pieces through? Is that your profession ,an artist..? Thanks for the compliments everyone! Hoosiermomma....actually I'm not an artist by profession. I've just been drawing and...

Thanks for the compliments! Hoosiermomma - I did do the artwork behind me. Those are oil paintings from a college painting class. Kansaseq - Thanks! I do have a spray sealer...I will have to make sure I use light coats....thanks for the tip.

Quote: Thanks! So far I've just been using Acrylic Ink...I tried some varnish on part of the etched one and it started running! So yeah...stopped applying that really quick! I'll just have to make some dummy eggs and see which preservative works the best? The rub-ons shouldn't be a problem...

Just thought I would share some pics of my latest egg art. Due to the cruddy weather here in MI this fall, and thanks to some time off between jobs and an overabundance of eggs....egg art is happenin!!! I plan on giving these to relatives as gifts/ornaments this Christmas. Who knows....if I...
