To Make Scale Miniature Raw Eggs You Will Need:

  • Tar Gel Acrylic Medium This artist's medium, usually added to acrylic paint, makes a glossy, stringy, clear blob, great for scale egg white, especially dripping down a window.
  • Regular Acrylic Medium This will create a stiffer texture when added to liquid acrylics. You will need a stiff texture to create the yolk of the egg from acrylic paint. If you use acrylics from a tube, you will not need to add regular medium.
  • Bright Yellow Acrylic Paint the color you want your egg yolks.
  • A Toothpick to spread out the tar gel and create the blobs for the egg yolk
  • A Ceramic Tile or other smooth surface, to set the eggs on while the paint and medium dry.
