Eggshell Paintings Factory

After HCMC city, we decided to get away from the city to do a bit of the outskirt sight-seeing, which brought us to an eggshell painting factory.

They don't just see eggshells alone, there's also sea-shells where they cut and polish and carved into paintings.

If you find it perculiar that someone even thought about producing something with discarded eggshells, then have you ever seen a painting like this before?

Surprise, surprise, that's eggshell painting to you.

Like sprinkling confettin on a glue-ready canvas, eggshell has exactly the same concept, only with few more steps. Like polishing, coloring, etc.

And not just paintings they did, it could be housewares of plates, trays, bowls, spoons, etc.

Then there's the shell painting, where it could be a painting adorned completely with those shiny shells (I've seen one and really expensive, a painting of an Asian dragon), or a painting of colors and shells.

Or both, sea shells and eggshells.

The prettiest tray I've ever seen. If I could spare the extra cash, I would have brought this baby home.
