First, the introduction of painting eggs
Commonly known as painting eggs. Egg shells and duck egg shells are strictly disinfected and coated on them. Paintings are divided into three categories: landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures. The picture is fresh and concise, exquisite and lovely. The eggshell stands upright, and its surroundings are considerable, giving people a three-dimensional sense. The group paintings are covered with exquisite glass frames and have a unique style. Zhejiang Wenzhou, Lucheng, Ruian, Pingyang, Cangnan and other counties (cities, districts) have production, and most of them are exported.
Second, historical inheritance.
Egg-colored painting is a kind of folk craft painting painted on the shell of chicken and goose eggs. Bai people living in Heqing should hang a "Wuzi" (lotus seeds, cassia seeds, pine nuts, melon seeds and sunflower seeds), "Five Treasures" (silver, rice, salt, brown sugar and tea) and "Five Dragon Water" (water from five springs and five ponds) on the beams when building a house.
Third, the theme of painting
There are many kinds of egg-colored paintings, which can be summarized into three categories: face painting, portrait painting and "line painting". Facebook, that is, taking an egg as the head, draws a face on the front and back of the "head". Through the color matching, harmony, contrast, symmetry and echo of lines and patterns, it gives people rich imagination and beauty.
manufacturing method
First, ordinary eggs
Choose a smooth, straight and crack-free egg. Punch a hole in the eggshell with a conical needle. The hole is located at one end of the pointed circle or at the part covered by painting.
Slowly inject air into the eggshell with a syringe, pull out the syringe, and the egg white and yolk will be discharged, and so on for many times until it is exhausted. Inject clear water into the eggshell with a syringe, then discharge the clear water, and repeat it for many times until the eggshell is washed clean.
Clean the shells, dry them, plug the holes with a little gypsum powder, dry them, and smooth them with fine sandpaper. Then paint landscapes, animals, flowers and the like on the eggshell surface with pigments, which is roughly the same as drawing on paper, and is intended to be a pen tip. Practice makes perfect. Then match a mahogany chair and put the eggs on the shelf.
Second, the egg pendant
Egg pendants are one of the most popular Christmas gifts in western countries.
When vacuumizing, two symmetrical holes are pierced, air is injected from one hole and egg liquid flows out from the other hole. After painting, tie a small stick with silk thread, coat it with white latex, poke it into the small hole along the big end of the eggshell, straighten the silk thread, and the thin stick will naturally cross in the eggshell. Then string a small bead on the silk thread.
The other hole is threaded with silk thread in the same way, and the pendant in the egg is finished. It would be more interesting if several pendants were strung together to make a pendant.
