Celebration
I have no idea why I haven’t listed this egg yet. It turned out to be one of my favorites. Well, here it is now.
When I began this egg, I wasn’t too pleased. I drilled the larger holes first and it ended up looking sort of like an avant garde saltshaker. Sadly, I wasn’t the only one who thought this. Pretty soon, I knew I had to do something extra. I took my smallest bit, which is about 3 times the width of a human hair, and drilled the smaller holes. Still, I didn’t know if I would like it. Finally, I decided to do bubbles around the holes that were gold, and the rest of the egg silver. Once I got the gold paint on, I realized (a little too late) that it would be VERY difficult to paint the rest of it silver. But fortunately, I also realized that I really liked the way it looked. It reminded me of fireworks at New Years. Hence, the name, Celebration.
Great looking egg, and great detail in your photo! Nicely presented.
Thanks, but I can’t take the credit for the photo. One of my friends, Lisa Janssen, took this photo for me. I think she did a great job!
