Eggs!
September 2003
Wondering what next to cover with polymer clay? Look no further than your breakfast table! And after you've covered that with clay, you might want to consider another fun surface -- eggs.

First, there's nearly no end of eggs you can cover -- chicken, duck, quail, turkey, emu, ostrich, dinosaur, wooden -- you name it (well, don't attempt to cover styrofoam -- it melts in the oven). Second, there's no end of designs.

For inspiration, look no further than our little gallery of eggs right here.

Our first exhibitor is Bernie G. He calls himself "the new kid on the block" (even though he's 73) but his lovely eggs look like the work of a well-experienced clayer.

Our next "egg"cellent clayer is Chryse Laukkonen. Check out the mother-of-pearl technique on the butterfly mosaic egg!

Dawn Schiller, aka Blue Raven, brings personality to every egg she makes. I can't think of a single egg joke for her, so we will just leave it at that!

Patti Kimle is a well-known polymer clay and egg artist who gives workshops on this very topic. If you have the opportunity to take one of her workshops, don't miss it!

We round out this gallery of eggs with heavenly-detailed eggs by Jack Schwend. He's translated a Ukranian/Norwegian egg-dying technique into polymer clay canes and the results are magnificent.
