Tutorial with Veselina Koleva
COMMENT
We'll be making brown eggs but you can also use pure white for white egg-shells instead of the following mixture.
Make clay balls with the following sizes:
• 1.2cm (½") from the white clay
• 0.6cm (¼") from the caramel-colored clay
• 0.4cm (a little less than ¼") from the chocolate colored clay
Mix well.
The color you will receive is supposed to resemble this one. If it seems to dark add a little white and mix again. The color doesn't have to be exactly like mine as even each real egg has a different color. Make it as you like!
Powder your fingertips too.
First make a little snake, then press the clay with your fingers so that it sticks to the bead. Spread it equally on the half of the bead.

Step 1
Now we'll mix the color for our egg-shells.
Make clay balls with the following sizes:
• 1.2cm (½") from the white clay
• 0.6cm (¼") from the caramel-colored clay
• 0.4cm (a little less than ¼") from the chocolate colored clay
Mix well.
Step 2
Step 3
Take two of your glass beads and powder them slightly with cornstarch.
Powder your fingertips too.
Step 4
Make two tiny balls (one for each bead) with diameter about 2-3mm (just over 1/16" - just over 3/32") out of the brownish clay.
Step 5
Take a bead and cover the half of it with the tiny ball of clay we just made.
First make a little snake, then press the clay with your fingers so that it sticks to the bead. Spread it equally on the half of the bead.
