THis is the fourth egg of the “cut out” style, I am improving. I love the translucency of this particular set of canes and the simple little scalloped border. Still not perfect, and also i had to repair the bottom since i forgot (once again) to poke an air hole in the bottom of the clay that was pressed over the hole in the egg where i emptied the contents. Air expands when it gets hot… LOL..i forget that.
Again, to remove the calcium of the egg shell, after curing the clay i punched out the sides of the real egg, and soaked in white vinegar for several hours, then sanded the interior.
