Tutorial Diary:: Drilled Eggs

My eggs were inquired about by a person intending to publish a book of egg art and they asked if I'd like to submit photos for it. Yay! Exciting! If anything ever comes of that, I'll be sure to post something so you can all cheer for me. Woo!

I apologize for the long delay in making this video. I know you all asked about the tutorial a long time ago. The thing is that I've actually not been doing anything for months. My hands were really aching and I had to go to the doctor and get some treatment to help keep my fingers and arms healthy and so I just didn't really make any videos or make any kind of art for all that time.

It was MISERABLE!!!

Anyway, I'm getting back on my feet now and getting back to work and I'm pretty excited. Hopefully I'll be posting more videos now too. n.n;


Hope everyone is well!

Nice video.

To remove the membrane a lot easier than picking it, try a solution of bleack and water and soak the drilled egg in it for a while. Test how long it takes the membrane to disolve though in case the egg goes too :) Should work ok.

Oh my god. : D If that works, that's going to be the best tip I have ever learned! I love drilling eggs, but the membrane is so hard to deal with.

I love you, I love you, I love you! :D I will be trying this out as soon as things settle down next month. Eee, I can't wait! I'd love to be able to make a lot of eggs.

ahh I've been trying to do this for ages but the egg keeps breaking on me especially when I try to drill holes close to each other :(

is there anything I can use to stop it from breaking so much?

[meandrousart]

Sorry for the long delay in reply. I was on maternity leave! As for not breaking... hmm... Well, all I can say is that it takes a very gentle pressure. Let the spinning of the drill do most of the work and press as lightly as you can to make a hole. It's hard to be more specific without watching you do it to see if there's something happening. Maybe you could record a video?

wow.. those are awsome... thanks for the tutorial

[meandrousart]

Cool, thanks. And you're welcome! Be sure to try it out. n.n

thats what she said "u can push it in farther"

As for those who still break the egg trying to cut holes in chicken eggs, practice, practice makes perfect :-) Do not place holes too close to each other unless your a math wizard and can calculate surface durability equation versus ratio of density formula lmao! Keep this thought in mind, leave equal space between holes to keep good bridge strength ;-)

[hukiworld]

I am an egg artist too and I still find blowing yolk out gross and almost makes me gag lmao! Now I use a baby syringe to do blowing for me :) The secret to removing membrane from chicken is easy, works on all eggs as well: simply dip egg in Clorox beach bath for 30 to an hour and this process dissolves the membrane and leaves it spanking clean with no rough edges either :-)

Great video!

What model Dremel do you use? I am shopping around for one for egg art, but do not want to purchase one which is too weak or (on the other hand) WAY to powerful. Thanks!
