Embossed Egg - Bull in a China Shop
I enjoy really delicate arts, but I feel like a bull in a china shop
working with them. This morning I found this already damaged egg in a
box of last year's eggs. It had been saved because I wanted to remember
it. Just now,when I turned it over to get better lighting for a
photograph, I crushed it. So many metaphors come to mind.

Now you have bits to include in a collage or mosaic.
(At least that's how I had to look at the STACK of dishes broken when we moved…) :D
I agree with the collage comment above, but oh, so sad! The embossing is gorgeous, and I'll admit total ignorance - how in the world do you DO that?!
I drew on the egg with wax, but instead of dyeing it, I put it in a vinegar bath. The vinegar's acid ate away the shell where it was not covered in wax. I love the look but it left the shell paper thin.
oh damn! gorgeous egg! so sorry!!!!
That is a gorgeous egg. It's very delicate and fragile but very elegant.
