I don't recommend the clear tacky glue for high-use projects as it has a softer surface when dry. It definitely works in a pinch but I recommend a hard top coat.

[TheTrinity4lifetruth]

@Cool2Craft ok, thanks for responding...I tried this technique but I did it on a plain wood piece and not the white that you used. Im going back to the drawing board with the right stuff! :) thanks again

[TheTrinity4lifetruth]

Hi...can I use clear tacky glue if I don't have the one you're using?...great idea by the way!

[mona8331]

[miriam123gold]

what is that hard piece you lay shell called and were you scrash the sheell

to shine. thanks.

[Cool2Craft]

@lubsjoanne I used the resin pieces we sell at our shopcool2craft website.

[greedlusthate]

Use OLD eggs, fresh ones have stronger membranes, that's bad.

[Cool2Craft]

@greedlusthate Thanks for tip!

the red bracelet looks like a baby bird got stepped on...

[pengubaby]

so I can go to the craft store and buy resin pieces that will have holes for beeds?

[Cool2Craft]

@JoBrosSelenaJustin - The ink can run off the edge if you use too much. Just start with a little bit at a time. If you want to use clear nail polish as your gloss top coat, you should test first to be sure that it is compatible with the alcohol inks. You don't want the top coat to pick up the color of the ink.

[JoBrosSelenaJustin]

@Cool2Craft

heyy...i was thinkin of makin one of these for my moms b'day. I just have some questions

1.Will the ink run off the edge

2.Can you shine/smoothen them with Clear Nailpolish?

Thanks :D

xINVISIGOTHx - We're glad you like Tiffany's project! Thank you for the feedback!

[xINVISIGOTHx]

I really like the brown braclet, not so much the green one. I think maybe the green one would look better if you used white eggshells instead of brown.

I thought it was martha stewart for a second when the video came on!

Thanks Krafty Katsy! It has been so great to reconnect with our Aleene's Creative Living friends and fans! Hope you can join us for our weekly chats and watch our on-line tv show at cool2craft [Tiffany]

[KraftyKatsy]

Great technique & I love the brownish bracelet, looks great Tiffany :o) p.s. I really miss the show "Aleene's Creative Living" It got me through alot of rough times by keeping me focused on positive things & feeling good about what I was creating!!! Thankyou :o)

[Cool2Craft]

Tiffany used pre-drilled resin pieces that can be purchased on our shopcool2craft site. I hope this answers your question and thank you for the nice comment!

[luv2bellydanz]

wow beautiful what about the hole on the side what do you use for that? thanks

[Cool2Craft]

[Cool2Craft]

Thank you, preciousxbluexfairy, for your kind comment! We hope you'll get a chance to try this technique!

[preciousxbluexfairy]

this is so interesting, i never would have thought of using eggshell as a mosaic. thank you for sharing :)

[Cool2Craft]

I have not tried ink with shellac so I cannot tell you how that would work. I can tell you that Ranger Alcohol Inks with Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer does work. [Tiffany]

[charitymharrison]

can you use ink with shellac?

[Cool2Craft]

You should be able to use raw eggshells just the same as hardboiled. Either way, just be sure to remove the white membrane.

[CheshireKhat1]

Do the eggshells need to be hardboiled, or can you work with raw just as effectively?

[Cool2Craft]

Thank you!

[greenworks2000]

@Cool2Craft what is the name of product you used for coloring?
