This woman looks like the actress from _Handmaid's Tale_ and _Drew Berrymore_ had a baby.
I use uv resin for small projects. I don’t understand why ur filling the eggs with resin if the resin won’t show? Is it to fill the egg so u can decorate and the egg won’t crack? Or do u peel the shell off and then decirate
Jordan is filling the eggs so they can be decorated and made into pendants. Otherwise the shells would crack or get crushed when worn as jewelry.
Yeah I didnt understand why fill the egg with expensive epoxy.. I'm filling the egg FOR the epoxy look..
@@sandyknox1778One reason would be for making Ukrainian Pysanky. After they are decorated they will eventually rot and explode so to prevent this many pysanky are "Blown" where a small hole is poked into the top or bottom of the egg so that the yolk can be scrambled with a paperclip and then either blown out around the needle of a small pump or sucked out with essentially a mini baster that uses a needle to insert into the hole. one other option is to poke a second hole in the other side of the egg after scrambling to just use your lungs and blow the yolk out. (Blowing can be done before or after the egg is decorated). The issue with this though is that you are only left with a shell with a hole or two in it which can make it very delicate and brittle, but allows the egg to last longer. Another issue is that if you blow the egg before decorating it you have to add some sort of weight to it or manually hold it under the dye as it will want to float. (Though I haven't tried it myself but am wanting to) One thing that can be done is to fill the egg with resin to increase its durability and lower the chances of the egg breaking. If the egg is blown before being decorated, filling it with resin can also allow it to sink and dye properly thanks to the weight provided by the resin. For extra durability if you weren't worried about the external finish you could also coat the egg in a thin layer of resin rather than varnish just to ensure the longevity and durability of the egg, essentially making it so you could accidentally drop the pysanka on the ground and the egg would still be fine. However through out the process you still need the shell as it is what is being dyed for the eggs decoration.
Would a reptile egg make much of a difference
I don't know. I haven't held a reptile egg and don't know if it's like a chicken egg shell or more of the leathery type shells. However, I'd first find out if in my area it's allowed to use such eggs. I know there are many bird eggs that can't be used for such things.
This lady wants to make an epoxy egg, call people to look and take pictures? Are you serious 😂😂😂
I filled epoxy resin into Eggshells. the eggshells all cracked after a few months. Do you have any idea to prevent cracking the eggshells? I really need your advice.
Most egg artist fill the eggs as shown in the video, and then wait for the epoxy to cure a few days. Then they do their artwork on the shells, and the either epoxy over the artwork or put a sealant like clear varnish.
@@LorriePopow thank you for answering!
If u want a resin egg peel shell off then gently scrape the white membrane off..also u can coat the outside of resin egg in resin
