This was an experiment in how to make a smooth finish on an eggshell egg mosaic, which really wasn’t all that successful. I made the mosaic egg, per usual, from pieces of egg shells dyed with pysanky dyes and white glue as the adhesive. This was a brown egg to start – you can see it in the picture. After it dried I painted the surface with liquid polymer clay (Sculpey brand –which might have been not the best, in retrospect, but a higher end liquid polymer clay could have worked). After curing, I tried to sand the surface smooth but the liquid polymer clay did not create a strong enough coat to allow sanding. I put two coats of Varathane on, which seemed to work better. It is possible that a very thinly rolled covering of regular translucent polymer clay could have worked better. I will try it. I posted this in the #2016PCChallenge along with many other egg pictures.
