Using a strip idea, the background for these two “half” egg refrigerator magnets was made with polymer clay over top an emptied chicken egg (a pretty small egg). Before curing I created a cut line on the long equator of the egg (smaller top to bottom) so that after curing it would be easy to separate the two halves.
After curing I used a razor blade to cut through the actual chicken egg, and then had two domed halves. I put a flat bottom on each half (using liquid polymer clay and about a 1/8 or thicker flat piece and cut around the half egg smoothing and pressing the half egg into the base. Then decorated the top and cured again. Eggs can be purchased at memory-beads website.
