This is out of the basement — ha ha a pysanky egg made by one of my kids or myself (probably me). It is up for sale but is cracked…just a little, thus is being sold just for the cost of shipping.

Black, gold, silver, bronze polymer clay decorated egg
This was just fun and easy, and it was made with some clay intended for another purpose but i loved the organic look and just made it into a simple egg (with texture).
Goose egg carved and decorated with polymer clay
This goose egg came from a stash of eggs from almost half a century ago (LOL) when my kids were young and we were making all kinds of pysanky eggs. I guess this egg was saved but at this point i decided to repurpose it as a carved
and flower modeled egg. I used a thin layer of white and translucent to cover the entire egg except where i penciled in the ovals to be carved later, and cured it, then carved out the oval areas, just pecking slowly. The edges were sanded and then I build the outside of the egg shown here.
Then layered a thin sheet of marbleized polymer clay on the inside of the egg made with left overs from the stripes. The border was added and the egg cured again. At this point I could not decide whether to go further or not, but see below, the edge has roses and leaves and other ornamentation.
Mosaic decorated ostrich egg: piano keys music
This is an old egg, the urethane i used on it for gloss has ambered, but i asked my sister (piano teacher, for whom i made it) to send me a couple pix just so i could remember what it looked like. I hope i do better now…LOL. I also hope the aquathane that i use now for coating eggs doesn’t do what the old polyurethane did, but i wont keep my hopes up. I made her a music egg using pysanky also long long ago (like three decades) as well. The egg shells used to decorate this ostrich egg were dyed with pysanky dyes, then dried and crushed into medium size egg shell tesserae.
