A true shell

Believe it or not this is a real eggshell! It's been emptied, painted and encased in at least 20 coats of high gloss lacquer to keep it strong! DIL gave it to us for an Easter present. It is so fragile that if dropped would disintegrate!

@grammyn Yes, its new, Katy! I've never seen anything like this. We have it hanging from a light - the only place!

@happypat As long as someone doesn't take pot shots at it, Pat, it will last forever!

I decorated an egg this way a LONG!!! time ago. It withstood the test of time for many years- but I honestly don't remember what happened to it. This is beautiful and your daughter-in-law did a lovely job in decorating it.

@olivetreeann She didn't paint it but bought it somewhere! I've never seen anything like it!
