Original artwork description:

Tea egg is a Chinese savory food commonly sold as a snack, in which a boiled egg is cracked slightly and then boiled again in tea, and sauce or spices. It is also known as marble egg because cracks in the egg shell create darkened lines with marble-like patterns.

Tea egg was never on my food list until recently. In my younger age, egg as snack sounded boring. But early this year I found out a video about tea egg making and wanted to try. It is not as difficult as I thought. And I am proud of all the patterns I can make. Besides, I can finally use the tea bricks from years ago. Below are some photos from my tea egg experiment.

Although I tried my best to match the digital image the same as actual painting but the color may vary due to different monitor and monitor settings. Please be aware of this fact.
Hope you enjoy this one. :D
