"Real Egg printing"

During buying different egg, I can show that some brand of the egg in uk selling with a better outlook egg, and some of them are buying pattern-filled eggs. I do like the egg with more natural pattern. It look more rough. (but in the case of this artwork, every egg should have a same looking to build the consistence of the artwork. )

The real egg have more variables. The real egg will have a special and unpredictable textures. I really like them, However, the egg the too easy to broke, the below one which taped have been broken during the photoshoot. It stinks when left too long, but I wanted to make an art piece that would last a long time. So I have to think of another way to make it work with the following criteria:

1. it does not stink

2. it does not break easily

3. easy to store.
