Emu Egg Engraving: Dragon, tutorial

IMG_7777

I received this lovely emu egg, and thought, I need to make something cool out of it!  This is the natural color!
So I fired up my Foredom flex shaft and went to work!

I started light, since I wasn’t sure how it was going to go.

The egg has some un-even-ness, so it was a bit of a challenge.  Plus, hold without squeezing!

Just in case you were wondering, this is how emu compares with ostrich.  I had painted mine black because it had some crappy painting on it and I planned on painting something else over it.  I may try the flex shaft on it anyway.

I was very pleased with the results!
