My personal favorite, especially when I teach classes; I place a microbead pillow at each station. The pillow supports the wrists and keeps the egg secure in the nest created by the microbeads. It prevents the egg from rolling. I find microbead pillows at yard sales and second-hand shops. Wash them in a cold water cycle and let them air-dry. I clean them this way after each class use. Students love the support that the pillow gives when writing on the egg with the kistka.
“ I do think this idea of micro-bead pad is the greatest and I am going to try to find some and start hoarding them, so I can use them if and when I am able to teach this beautiful art.” Sheila the Egg Lady
