    Since we recycle our food scraps into our gardens I 'clean' the egg shells before they go into the compost bucket. To remove the membrane from shells I dump the shells into soapy water, let sit for few minutes and then rub with finger or thumb the membrane from inside the shell. Easy and quick and should do the job for use in your texture art. Enjoyed the video and the ideas. thanks for sharing.

    Oh Lordy Girl, Don't stop now. I'm very into using canvas over journals and you are helping my brain cramps. Not enough canvas videos. Keep the ideas flowing. These shells could be put down in white a bit smaller and flatter as mosaic in strategic areas and other art still filling the balance of the canvas. Oh I forgot to say instead of heavy acrylics, if they were white they could be colored with watercolor, inktense or a couple secrets up my sleeve. I love what you're doing here. Just quit cutting the sound out on those bathtub singers. That's adorable.

    Before watching this I collected eggshells and I already had the skin out of the shells. I just took the skin out while the eggshells were still hot. The same as I remember way back when we used eggshells for easter crafts. You may find other ideas if you search easter egg crafts somewhere online.After watching: did this same stuff when I was a kid. Makes great for a sandy beach painting and great for easter baskets in a painting, tulips are beautiful done with eggshells. Thanks

    I started boiling eggs immediately upon seeing this 1st Video. I'm 65 and have Arthritis in both hands and didn't take me long to realize removing that Membrane this way wouldn't work for me. Poured most of the overnight soaking water off and added 1/2 cup bleach (enough to have all the shells covered) and sure enough less than an hour later problem solved. Not one sign of it anywhere on the shells. Put the shell fragments in a strainer and rinsed well then air dried. Perfect now to use as texture.

    I have to add this to the video. I did a 6' X 6' wall art and the texture was ALL eggshells. And, every time I walk by it I rub my hand on it LOL. Thank you so much for the idea and now I have a TON of dried eggshells ready to use as texture :)

    Another way to remove the membrane from the shell. When you empty shell, dip your finger in pure vinegar. Run in the inside of the washed out egg shell, the vinegar is acidic and there's no problem with pushing the membrane out of the shell as well you will be able to tear it out. Hope this is explained well enough. (Jan. 29/15).

    the shoe polish is a form of antiquing. I do it on bisque fired pottery, you can also use oil paint, you don't need any turps. The idea is it is worked into the recesses and then you wipe off the surplus. Acrylic paint would not wipe off the raised surface at all well.
