Egg Craft

[Oma]

I was very proud of them at the time as I was self taught , I saw some in a Magazine one year and decided to give them a go ,
There was a shop about 1 hours drive from us that sold all the bits and paints etc but didn't give lessons ,
The first ones I tried were just Hen eggs and I didn't try cutting them for a while ,just painted and decorated ,
Then bought a few Goose eggs and practiced cutting on damaged eggs first using a little hack saw just to cut them in half , before I took the plunge and bought a Dremmel tool .

Oma - that's very encouraging. OH has made a tea-light candle holder which he wants me to do some pierced work and pyrography on. I'm terrified of splitting it as it's so thin (thin is good in wood-turning). I'd got a nice idea for a pattern, but I think it will be too complicated for a first attempt, so I think I'll just do some stars of various sizes, and hope I don't wreck it.
