I have a friend who is known for beautiful eggshell mosaics and she has very graciously explained the process to us over the years. I never thought I would try it but once I painted a chicken scene, all I could think was EGGSHELLS lol

That's cool. Please tell us how much of that is egg shell.
I am continually amazed by your talents...Why aren't you famous?...:clap:...Ben
Very clever.
just the chickens. I did the painting on an old chunk of black walnut and used the existing grain with a thin wash of paint to depict the walls and nesting shelf etc.Quote:

I never in a million years thought I would try it... but it was fun
