Category: Polymer clay and egg shells

I saw some “dot” artwork, either painting or tiles (the tiles that are called penny rounds are totally fun) and I set to make something like that using polymer clay and an empty chicken egg shell.

This egg was a variation on one done earlier, which I found both fun to make and interesting to look at. This one differs in that i used metal “flower centers” instead of polymer clay as I did on the first version pictured here. So the technique of the cut flower and the different color center remained the same, but there is space in the background (black polymer clay) on the first egg, and green mottled leaves on the second egg. Another difference is that the latter was a very tiny chicken egg, the former much larger.  This is really a practice for an ostrich egg, coming up.  Check the products to purchase it, or go to Memory-beads.

Just a little bit different take on a decorated egg happened while creating this one. There are four textured panels that are sparkling black and in between those there are packed little flowers, looking something like a rose, maybe.

This was a fun egg to make since it was a take on my favorite fabric pattern. If you have some similar image with which you want me to make a custom decorated keepsake egg, just send it to me at marian(at)pdqpatterns(dot)com or click on my memory beads website.

This is just a fun little egg, decorated with left over scraps of polymer clay from making refrigerator inchie magnets (with horse hair, pet hair) as keepsakes.  It can be made with whatever items you might wish to turn into a custom keepsake (charms, ashes, tiny pieces of fabric, flower petals, anything you want to remember).

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).

This i believe is an egg that I did long ago, with the old formula of FIMO, since it had a waxy feel to it. This is certainly not stunning, but a record of eggs that this family has made for 5 decades, and while simple is still nice. It is also from back in the day when i did not feel the need to use flower petals in everything to give them memorial-significance (LOL).

Corin and her mom made this awesome “chocolate” and “marshmallow” christmas egg for me (2019).  How tender and soft and wonderful. It sits next to a blue bird egg and in front of other eggs from this year.  I love that one grandchild is crazy about sculpting with polymer clay.  Thank you corin and pepsi.  This egg is made over an emptied chicken egg.
