OK, so far I have a blue meringue. 

[Fenton]

Thats ok just do some swirls through it, add some raspberries and say its a Pict Pavlova

[fsn]

OK. Now I have purple teeth.

[Westmarcher]

.... and if it is, as they say, a binding agent, tomorrow you might have some trouble .... 

[fsn]

I may just give up and have an omlette!

[Nirnman]

re the blue meringue you ma be interested to know that shaving foam can be used as a carrier for marbling lol

[Westmarcher]

In other words, it makes a right mess.

In other words, it makes a right mess.

That about sums it up I would have thought.

As if it weren't irritating enough that one always has a fridge full of egg whites after a mayonnaise, an ice-cream, a Bavarian, a Hollandaise, a custard....

I will learn to make meringues, comes my next holiday!

For Oil painting (on canvas, mind you) it is an emulsion of egg white + lino oil.

It is to "re-moisture" a base of oil (already on the canvas for a while) to add some new diluated colors (like the red of a lip, or a cheek).

Last night, just for a bit of fun, I had an experiment on a couple of 'bits' that were sitting amongst the clutter on the desk.
Results......Good/interesting so far.
BUT.........
I would advise anyone NOT to suck the brush when using raw eggs unless you want an upset 'gut'.
I DID use eggs from the Techno Towers' chickens.....They're probably smothered in campylobacter or salmonella.

So I've undercoated a few British WWII figs, will have a go at painting them tonight in various eggy blends.

I've also got my three trial bases of white as it comes from the bottle, white pigment with an egg white/water medium and white pigment with an egg yolk/water medium.

I went for white rather than rhode island red.

And Techno is right. Sucking the *cluck* brushes does taste *cluck* a bit off. Also, despite the *cluuuuck* change of daylight saving, I *craa* got up at sunrise this morning and *craaaaa* was very chipper.

I went for white rather than rhode island red.

Oh......Good grief !! 
You Oik !!

Egg white + line oil emulsion can be kept in fridge for one week.

[getagrip]

But WHY?

There are loads of perfectly good, non-hen's period, products out there!

[Westmarcher]

Granted I'm winging it here but it seems it a bit cock-eyed to me too!      

[getagrip]

Clucking at straws really!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those last three yolks were poultry!

[getagrip]

I thought they were cracking!

[Westmarcher]

Still leaves me wondering what fowl plan FSN is hatching here .....
