This is a 11x14 eggshell mosaic that will be sure to start a conversation. The art contains white and brown eggshells on a 'fire-engine red' canvas.

$15 + shipping

Send me a PM for more information.

Acemario, I am attempting to do my first eggshell mosaic. I am doing a table/desk top, it is metal. The picture is of my design.. question... do you have a special glue you may suggest for me to use? I did a small corner yesterday and used Elmers white glue.. this morning it seems to be holding tight?! Also, i will be keeping it outdoors under a covered patio and want to seal it when it is finished... laquer? Varnish? bees wax? i am also a BYC member , you can see my coop and chics under MOPUFF. Any advise you could impart would be MUCH appreciated. Dont worry about sales competition.. i wont be selling this.. what i hope will be a masterpeice.. LOL, it will be a long process. i probably should not have made my first attempt such a lofty one! Thank you , hope to hear from you soon... Melissa

hardware store should have clear varnish for outdoors. I pour it thick in the middle and let it roll off the table ( move table around) for more natural look than using a brush. make sure theres no bubbles! pop it out with pin. practice on something else so you will be comfortable !
 
I am still working on it. i have about 15 hours in so far. I work on it when it is too cold to play outside, we havent had many cold days tho. Heres a pic.

Mind if I offer some unsolicited advice? I think it would look nice with just the white shells on the dark brown background.

I've been saving up some items for a Mosaic but haven't picked a subject matter yet.

How very beautiful and creative! When I first came to this link I was expecting something different. I'll have to look into this further. It's just so pretty.
