A friend from another forum covers eggs with polymer clay. So what you say? Have a look at her site www.keepsakeeggs.com/ WE have a few of her eggs now, looking for a branch to make a display for Easter, eg

Kirsty has this one ( I blew her first bantam egg and sent it to America and Toni sent it back decorated - not sure which of us is maddest!:

I have one of these:

Craig chose one of these for his first egg:

Don't think I will be trying this any time soon!

Wow Those are lovely!

How do you blow an egg to send it?

We used to blow eggs to decorate for Easter in the States. You make two holes with a pin, one on pointed end (the top), one on wide end (bottom hole should be slightly larger) and blow the contents out from the top with a handy bowl beneath to catch. You'll have a red face with the effort and a scrambled egg.

Its quite a tradition in some countries to make egg decorations for Easter

Anyone else fancy having a go? Should have enough eggs to practise on before Easter! Could have our own forum easter egg competition Razz

(I must be bored today Rolling Eyes

) Just painting one though - I wasn't thinking of the clay ones that started this thread.

They are extremely pretty, but I don't think I'd have the patience to do it myself! Rolling Eyes

Well, any sort of decorated egg then. Did anyone else see the episode of River Cottage where they had an egg throwing competition? All the eggs were decorated. IIRC anything goes - as long as its a decorated egg Razz
