CRUNCH.

Peeling is not cutting...is it?

That's what I was trying to figure out. As long as I don't cut the egg, can I peel it?

I "think" Liz is saying the egg shell must be kept intact. Some contests used eggs shells as mosaic material which was very nice!

I've desiccated my eggs. I may/may not have left them out for a year.
The eggs I did last year I painted fresh eggs...and I still have them all.
I didn't put them in a bag.

I just checked on the eggs I did last fall. The eggs I painted with acrylic and left flat have dried out. The eggs I coated with a clear coat of nail polish (I had no clear spray paint) have not dried out like the rest. (The purple middle and the black with eyes)

I stored them open in a container while I've been searching for a way to display them. If this helps anyone.

You want to eat the egg. (just teasing)

@mlm Mike can confirm about the intactness requirements....lol

I may just be confused. It wouldn't be the first time.

Please note below: Liz liked this post because she KNOWS I have been confused and has examples; like MY mistaking her young turkeys as being guineas.

Just clarifying, when the rules say this, "Do not cut the eggs. Blowing them is okay but this is a decorating contest, not a cutting one."...does that mean the shell has to be there? In other words, I can't peel the shell off?

Huh? Like do something with a hard boiled egg?

The shell should be intact except for blow holes. We're decorating eggs here, not doing fancy art pieces.

Of course she does! Probably as to invite me to a nice light lunch and good conversation. Boiled eggs would be quite lovely.

N F C, I could be there tomorrow for tea if that works for you.

You are nuts.

Spend all that time on an egg just to drop it.

I keep telling you I'm a brazil nut. You're the nut...don't drop your egg. Don't even put all your eggs in one basket. In case you drop it.

 

[Wickedchicken6]

CRUNCH.

See...now you dropped it!
