A nice Sunday morning project, carved an Angel into an egg. I am considering carving something on the back, like a bird. Trying to decide if I should do some airbrushing on it like a gold metal flake fade around the angel to create an aura effect, or perhaps airbrush gold metal flake on the inside.
How in the heck did you do that?????? I guess there are others who asked the same question so I will read the rest of the comments.
Dawn linked one of my earlier posts on carved eggs where I talked a bit about it. Hopefully that gives you enough information to decide if it is something you would ever want to try.
It's the sort of thing that's not hard to get decent results with, but like many things, quite hard to get amazing results at. I think most folks who really wanted to could get results on par with mine, but very few of us will ever get results on par with Binh Pho, Joey Richardson or Gary LeMaster.
Folks at work tend to remark they lack the patience to do stuff like this, and don't seem to understand that doing something creative that you enjoy requires no patience. When I'm at home, it take patience to do other stuff like mow the lawn and cleaning the house when I'd rather be turning something on the lathe or carving something like an egg.
