Egg Art
02.17.06 (11:53 am) [edit][view entire blog] Thank you for the egg art submissions by those of you who responded to my ads. Featured in this section is Kristine Remick, Egg Artist and Entreprenuer. Below is a description of how she designs her art pieces:
For the decopage egg I took pictures I could find of "romantic things" like flowers, couples kissing or holding hands...ect and decoupaged them onto the egg then sprayed it with a sealer - remember half the fun of this type of thing is to cut out everythig exteranious and fit all the pictures together. In the background are some beaded and carved eggs.
The nativity scene in the glass bulb ornament is put inside "ship-in-a-bottle" style - through the top with a tweezers and glue. I first afix a bace for the diorama to stand on inside the ornament then create the scene - the nativitys is made from bits of cloth and femo (modeling clay) heads and hands- you can also make on that is store bought as a miniature ornament set.
The ornament with the deer is put together the same way and you can buy deer in packs at your local craft store or model train store. The trees are sold everywhere and I have added a few touches by making femo cardinals and getting some fuzzy felt for snow.
The egg with the swing was fun. That is a chicken egg carved to look like 2 intertwined trees and the swing is sticks from outside my apartment and thread for the rope. It too had to have a bace put in for the swing to stand on - then I took some landscaping...er...stuff that I got from the model train store and (after painting the egg treebark brown) glued some of the fuzzy stuff to the outside and underneath.
The last was my most complicated peice yet (so far) It was the egg I made for the christmas exchange. I carved roof tiles and windows and the door, put a bace 'floor' in (a piece of very wide ribbon as the carpet) and got 1/4 scale miniatures (most of them I made with femo) into a diorama on the inside. Mounted the egg on a candle holder and then proceeded to put a hole in the top of the egg big enough to fit a votive holder so the thing could still be used to hold a candle. I was sprayed with sealer but then I had to put more snow on the outside and glue little bushes on either side of the door. The walk way and 'chimney' bricks were from large thick plastic sheets I got from the model train store as well.
