Wow, thanks! It was great fun to be a part of this contest!

:ya:wee:ya

Well, it's 11:33 P.M. my time (CST). Edit: 11:38 by the time I finished this. Here's hoping that counts. My second entry: Heh. Nighttime is not favorable to cameras. But then, we've already established that cameras are not terribly favorable to me, either. Also, I tried rotating that second...

@Texas Kiki When does this contest end? Is it midnight CST, or later? Really hoping - I've got an entry that I'll be able to finish by then.

Thank you! The brush I used was tiny.

Very well; we have Exhibition A, my first entry. I narrowed it down to 4 photos; different views as the egg is rotated. They're not such great photos - cameras don't like me. The egg is nicer than it looks. It's much glossier, for instance.

And another 23... It's easier to prune the number down before I think about choosing some. And another 8.

Well, I finished my first egg! It is a curious conglomeration of glue, thread, eggshell of course, paint, and a large amount of varnish, modeled after the enamel technique of cloisonne. Also, I took 102 pictures. Should I post them all, or do you only want the one or two decent ones?;) Hey...

That. Is a gorgeous egg!

I've currently got a thin grindwheel-looking thing on it. It's flat, and about an inch in diameter. It works great for cutting shell, but warning, go slow. Minimum pressure. Takes longer, but you'll get a smoother cut with fewer shattered eggs. I also occasionally use a small drill bit, if I...

Well! Turns out getting impatient and running a dremel with very low power is a bad idea. Who knew?! Edit: RIP Egg 2. At least you gave me some ideas during your short time with me.

I've always used a syringe and a dremel tool. Tiny hole and larger hole, then I suck the innards out with a the syringe. Which is actually a turkey baster.

You cheer at my misfortune? I am deeply wounded! ;) I've got some ideas going again, at least... but now my dremel is charging. But yeah, I'd eat popcorn and watch me too.

Well, I thoroughly messed up my second bantam egg. I have plenty of spares, at least, left over from last summer. All you people out there taking dremel tools to eggs? Unless you're freehand doodling with it, draw lines first! I can probably salvage something from the carnage, though... don't...

Ah, this contest again. I found some new resources since last year... I'll have to give this a try!
