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.
workers washing up the final paintings.
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.

Then we moved to their store as we're exciting.

Hi Nicole! Do you know the location of this factory? I'm working in HCMC here and the painting is beautiful. And I'm sure it's much cheaper to buy directly from the factory rather than Ben Thanh.
ReplyDeletehi DT, I'm not sure where the factory was as we were on a local random tour we took from our hotel. Perhaps you can ask some of the local budget hotels abt it. Though the price at the factory wasn't exactly cheap so I don't think it would make any difference to go all the way out there.
ReplyDeleteWow, they look lovely!
