POLYMER CLAY EGGS & EGGSHELL TUTORIAL: THE FALL PUMPKINS & LEAVES EGG DESIGN…

[@debbeechy]

Oh this turned out beautiful.

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you so much, Miss Deb!! This had to be done! I was tired of putting off the cutter thing and I knew it would work so well with the eggshells. Plus, I don't rely on the drill, and that makes it so others can create this design easier too. I hope you will attempt to try this out and maybe create a few as gifts for friends and family. Sending my biggest hugs your way!! :)

Thank you for sharing the thought process of your true artistry. Bringing your vision of final design step by step into something tangible is the secret to a happy life. I’m grateful to have found your videos. You changed my world.

[@laurajschiller]

I’m thrilled that you loved this one!… I hope you will continue to look through my videos and watch them all if you get a chance and hopefully you will also enjoy them just as much! Again, thank you for your kind comment right here…. Sending you my biggest hugs!🤗❤️👍🏻

[@elizabethsloan3192]

You are right, it needed the extra detail you added. This is a gorgeous egg!

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you so much, Miss Elizabeth!! Most kind...and yeah, that detail usually makes the difference on an egg design being "just there" to being "WAAAAAAA". LOLOLOL!! Sending you my big hugs!! :)

Laura, I so love this piece. It’s so beautiful. You are so creative. ☺️🙏💕💕💕

[@laurajschiller]

Awwwww, Miss Kim!! Thank you so much, dear lady!! I hope you are well and enjoying life!! And yeah, I had to finally do this...those cutters are great and give such nice clay forms to work with. Sending you my biiiiiiggggg hugs your way!! :)

[@JaniceBerg-e5i]

This looks like so much fun and is so festive. I will make some for sure.

[@laurajschiller]

AWESOMENESSS, lady!! So great!! I was hoping you would!! And Yeah, I love how the cutters work so well in concert with eggshells. They are great!! I hope you will continue to check in on me also, I am contemplating doing another design fall eggshell wise. And would love it if you let me know if you would be interested...LOLOL!! Sending you my big hugs!! :)

[@carolynmozzone412]

Adorable!❤. I could see myself breaking the egg into a thousand pieces 😂

[@laurajschiller]

LOLOLOL!! Oh, Miss Carolyn!! LOLOL!! I totally understand, but believe it or not, but chicken eggs do have a certain strength when you create with them. I always go with the thought that, once you remove all the fluid/water/internals of the egg itself...what you have left if a fairly sturdy little eggshell. And if you use polymer clay and other things on the shell, it hold up pretty well. And even if you break it...you can always get another one! LOLOL!! Again, thank you lady!! Your comment here always gives me a little boost and keeps me creating these videos. Sending you my big big hugs!! :)

[@John-I-McLeod]

That is so ingenious! ❤

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you so much, John!! I am thrilled you enjoyed this and hopefully it was also inspirational and you might look at those wonderful 3D cutters in a little different way!! Bless you and sending you my big hugs! :)

[@Prophetess71]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[@laurajschiller]

Thank you so much!… I hope it has inspired you to possibly pick up an eggshell and create some fun fall. Kind of design on it! Sending my big hugs your way!🤗👍🏻❤️

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

Oh now these are just simplu gorgeous !!! loved the black look. When i saw the little squirrel shape in the set i was like PICK THAT ONE PICK THAT ONE !!! LOL Just love what you have done !!!

[@laurajschiller]

Awwww, Thank you Miss Selene!! Bless you, lady!! Sorry, I didn't pick the cutter you wanted...I will have to put that in my feathered cap for somewhere along the line into the future. Because of course, I am not done with this cutter set. And with that said, I am contemplating a new design egg wise with this set, but not the squirrel...(had to clarify because I don't want to get the hopes up...yet LOLOLOL!!) BUT...a design I absolutely love!! Would you like to see another before fall is over?...let me know here lady...I always love the input and as you know I always look forward to your comments here...it keeps me going. Sending you my biggggg hugs! :)

Do you add a lot of clay softener to your clay? Also, I noticed that you don’t put any liquid clay under the clay pieces you put on the egg? Do you have any problem with the pieces falling off? Also, what size chain are you using? Beautiful piece.

[@laurajschiller]

Yes, I do condition my clay with clay softener. And if you wish I have a video on that, not too long ago on clay softeners. The trick with softeners, of course, is not getting the clay too soft, which can happen to me time to time. I like to have my clay very pliable...just not goo. LOLOL!! And you are right on the clay about liquid clay onto the eggshell. I don't use it because it does no good. I do form the clay over the shell, and yes, it will fall off, if I don't use any kind of epoxy glue. Hence, why I love my superglue so much. I will go back in after I have baked the egg and use it to make sure the clay piece stays in place. Liquid superglue. No gels. As to the rhinestone chain, 2mm. You can easily find it in the craft stores. I do hope this all helps...and sending you my big hugs your way!! :)

@@laurajschiller Thanks so much. Do you have a link to the video on clay softeners?.
