Here are the entries for the PCAGOE April Covered Egg Challenge. This month’s challenge is a technique that is fairly common and unique to polymer clay. Each member had to create a piece (functional or decorative) by covering an egg with polymer clay. There were no rules as to the technique used (canework, filigree,sculpture, mokume gane. etc..) and no rules as to the subject of the piece. Each member used their own unique skills to craft some fantastic pieces and for many entrants this was their first time trying to cover an egg. One thing that our members were able to prove, is that Beautiful Eggs are not just for Easter anymore! Many of these pieces are available for purchase, so check the links at the bottom if you are interested in making a purchase. Good Luck picking a favorite! As always, thanks to everyone that entered this month!!
VOTE for your favorite entry and be entered in a drawing to WIN one of two April prizes. The first is the What’s black and white and red all over? prize pack of 8 polymer clay items, all handmade with love by members of PCAGOE. This prize pack includes an incense burner by polymerclayproductions; earrings by madeinlowell; pins by pollyhyper, janzio and sallers; a heart cabochon by silvergate; cufflinks by huntersdesigns; and a drop pendant by juliespace. Together, these items are valued at over $100, and would make great gifts for everyone from hubby to kids to girlfriends or of course, you could keep them all for yourself ! The second prize this month is a beautiful polymer clay-covered egg by zudagay. Each canework leaf and flower has been applied individually to make a gorgeous spring work of art. What a perfect gift for Mom for Mother’s Day. There are two great prizes this month! So scroll down and vote for your favorite entry!
