February 16, 2004

Out of ideas and just wanting to go to bed, I've settled for imitation. Ian borrowed the idea from somewhere and I've borrowed it from him. My whites aren't as clean and my paper needs changing. Also, either my egg is bigger than his or his beater is bigger than mine!...It was a tight fit here.

Great idea, well executed!

Yes, Ian. With the right equipment it was embarrassingly easy. Your tips from January were helpful, too.

Love it!

You see Mark it wasn't really that difficult was it!! LOL!! I took my shot on lining paper as a background which is quite a creamy colour so I overexposed and then tweaked the levels, to achieve the whites. You've done a great job with this, you must be chuffed to bits with the result. - Ian

Egg-cellent!!!

Thanks. It wasn't hard boiled either, which occurred to me too late. So I put it in over the sink. And out, no break!

Very clean! Like this! Might have to "borrow" this myself sometime ;) -- angela :)

ha ha ha ha... well for an "I just want to go to bed" image I would say you did a fine job. I am totally impressed that the egg didn't break as it looks like a really tight fit. I bet Ian's egg was smaller. - liza
