Something new for me.....
Having 5 chickens, who each lay an egg a day...leaves us with a lot of eggs!

Since I am planning on using chickens instead of my own image...I thought it would be a neat idea to use our hens eggs to make the paint!

No canvas, has to be on panel (which I love, because I prefer the hard panel surface and it's less expensive to make).
And you need to use a traditional gesso...that means combining the marble dust, and rabbit skin glue in a double boiler.
I'm ready!!
