Checkerboard polymer clay cane slices were applied to a chicken egg, then worked and moved and smoothed and a couple red (Kandinsky type dots) were added as a surprise.

A little texture and a cane – polymer clay decorated egg
This was an experiment (as are all my eggs) in joining texture with abstract background cane with a fairly obscure spiral representing a rose, green and turquoise clay for leaves and brown marbled clay for sticks and stems.
Blue dotted egg
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.
Flowers and centers: polymer clay decorated egg
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
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.
Custom decorated egg from your favorite image or fabric
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.
Chicken egg custom abstract decorations with polymer clay
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).
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.
Polymer clay decorated egg from the 1980s
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).
