Chicken Crafts! (Show Off Your Craftiness)

I'll hop in. Some of these I've already posted in the polymer clay thread, but since that's buried and I've made some new ones...

Formed around a chicken egg, cooked the clay, then dissolved the egg in vinegar.

Formed around an ostrich egg, cooked it, then broke it apart and glued it back together again minus the egg.

Extruded the clay, formed it around the chicken egg. Random patterns, but I think that one looks like a condor.

Swans on a goose egg. Included some glass additions, it's actually a bit lighter/brighter than the photo implies, but I'm a horrible photographer.

Well just how sweet is that curtain ! I have some new material that I was going to make curtains for my sunroom but changed my colour scheme. Powder blue paisley. Guess what I am going to make now. )) Our coop is at my business location (our home is next door). I have a rug hooking shop. I can just hear the rug hookers now when they see a curtain up in there. Our customers love to visit our chickens. I think a little matching valance over the top of the window too. Will have to make sure it doesn't block the light. LOVE IT !!!!!!! Thanks for sharing

Proud Mama today....

DD's class had to make shoe box dioramas this week. Each student was assigned a scene from the Bible. She got the nativity. She didn't want to re-do TP tubes (that's so last year!) or the well over-done Lego people. She decided on egg people. I taught her how to blow the eggs & helped with the hot glue gun. I think this will be saved & used as our Christmas Nativity set.

Of course, that's if the eggs make it. Our dog has earned the nickname: "the dog who ate Christmas," due to the numerous ornaments, baked goods, & handmade gifts that he has devoured over the years. He is obsessed with eggs. The Nativity scene is already packed in the backseat to keep it safe until morning.





Baby Jesus is a tiny pullet egg.


A few downy feathers were used for misc hair.


The animals were made from egg cartons..... She just had to include a hen. LOL




These two are my favs.

Doesn't take to much talent but I liked the idea.
