This was a fun egg, quick, and also used up some left over clay from a visit by my granddaughter, her mom and my son. I just rolled this lump of different colors, and a left over slice of cane or two (you can see the one that looks like a fried egg…. ha ha) and used a brayer to smooth it out. I DID forget to put a hole in the bottom of the egg, so that when the air expanded the egg had quite a few little volcanos that became part of the jungle effect. One thing I did surmise, since failing to put a hole in the eggshell and uncured polymer clay covering pops out a bulge just where the egg was blown, this didn’t happen in this case. I attributed it to the fact that these eggs were very inexpensive, extra large, and I had noticed how fragile the shell was, and thought that perhaps these had been weak shells to begin with allowing for air to escape from places other than where the egg was blown. Just in retrospect I won’t probably buy that kind of egg again for eating, since if air can escape, then there is the possibility for contamination to get in as well. But all in all, I did like the serendipitous results.
