i think i read that @WVduckchick
 was, maybe she'll share photos with us

I plan to, but haven't gotten around to it yet. After seeing that embroidery post, I think I might try that instead of painting on them!!

I f i had some pretty dark marans eggs i would like to try etching, but i have no eggs lol

maybe @daxigait or @Fire Ant Farm have ideas/entries too

I bought the dremel tool for delicate carving, and tried on a few duck eggs, but wasn't very successful. I need to try again. I think it will be easy enough to use, to make the holes for the embroidery eggs though.

That's what I "was" going to do. "Was" is the key word there...

I bought an engraver and a dremel tool to carve eggs. The engraver was much more precise.
My broken egg picture is what happened when I used the dremel. (Knock off version)

on the embroidery eggs and drilling that!

I think for carving/etching one almost requires precision equipment like the sc carver or a dentist tool.
I don't think I can afford those at the moment.

I'm going to stick with what I know best....nail art.

Hopefully I'll get something done soon.

I TOTALLY agree!!
I didn't even know some of this art existed. Amazing
I've learned SO much and it's opened up whole new worlds of ideas!

In researching I even found new techniques for nail art with the painting.
