That's how it started. Just a cardboard roll with cardboard pieces. You can already see my mess haha

I created mountains with tin foil and made little towers out of cardboard. The paper around the towers are cardboard pieces that I halfed. Was super annoying to do.

Final base build! Added a lot of details to the tower itself. They are made out of white cardboard but a really thin one.

Spraying the build! (not me spraying the floor black!)

Is it bad that I’m more impressed with the tower structure than the egg itself? Because that takes a ton of talent and patience.

The egg is cool too.

I tried to make a space/galaxy themed egg it's a plastic craft egg painted with acrylics.

Welcome to Ruby's new house :3

My little egg is quite personal and sentimental this year, as it's modeled after a drawing I made for my grandmother when I was little. Easter is a really special time for me because it's connected to a lot of childhood memories. When I was little, my grandmother and I painted Easter eggs together every year. We spent hours decorating them, putting up Easter decorations and drawing together. All I know about art I learned from her. I recently found this drawing I made for Easter for my granny long ago, folded up in a drawer in her old desk. It made me feel really melancholic, because I especially miss her around this time of year. I'm happy I found the drawing again and now I have a little trinket that can sit on my desk and remind me of her.

​

Spoiler: nametag, closeup, materials, process

materials used plastic egg polymer clay toothpicks colourful paper felt fabric cork a piece of paperclip for the balloon acrylic paints fairly lights inside the egg copious amounts of superglue and hot glue ​

process:
​

I used a Dremel and tiiiiny drill bit to carve out the windows and doors, then added the window frames made out of toothpicks. The small roofs on top of the windows are out of polymer clay

The tree trunk, egg holder base, Ruby and Ketchup are made out of Polymer clay as well, which I hardened in the oven and then painted accordingly

All the details on the house were painted on with acrylic paints

Then I got too carried away in the flow and forgot to take any more progress pictures :'D But it's self explanatory. I cut out triangles out of the felt fabric for the bunting, some wobbly shapes for the tree top and used more toothpicks for the little fence in the front. This is where I would have liked to use sticks and dried blossoms but oh well.

[Mistreil]

i love all the work you guys have been putting into these!!!
and also i may have to consider tapping out of staff noms because shortlisting is going to be impossible omg

 

[Holla]

Me who still has to start my entry looking at all the amazing entires so far:

You guys are so talented! Thankfully I’ve had ideas for mine for a while now I just needed time away from work to properly get down to it which is thankfully this weekend.

 

[Rosch]

Me: I decorate the egg.
Them: THE EGGS DECORATE YOU

yo the eggs this year... yo.... im shook

 

[Mick]

Went through the thread again! As always, if your entry is not accepted or replied to yet then I probably missed it, please do let me know.

When it's put that way, the restrictions make a lot more sense. Even though 'decorating' is the traditional term for egg painting, the use of that word does make it sound pretty open-ended, so it also makes sense for people to feel like their creativity is being stifled. Maybe two judging categories (painting and decorating) would be a way to make it fair for the future.

Anyways, I need to get to actually decorating mine!

I was skeptical to the idea of multiple categories at first, but looking at the entries as they're rolling in I'm becoming more and more convinced this can be worth a try in the future!

Here is my attempt at making a chocolate chip cookie egg!

I'm a big fan of chocolate chip cookies but I'm afraid I can't possibly justify those as being craft materials, unfortunately. You're welcome to submit a new entry in a new post.

Are ceramic eggs fine? They are chicken egg size

They're not self made and intended for craft purposes, so these would be fine!

I tried to make.......... a Shrunk egg!
But. I have a question.
If the egg is cracked, does this entry not count?

Looks like he's cracked his last joke This won't be a problem at all, I just couldn't resist

i may have to consider tapping out of staff noms because shortlisting is going to be impossible omg

Don't you dare. The shortlist suffering is not optional.

 

[OswinOswald]

Well, I didn’t find enough eggies to get myself a galaxy egg, so I made a substitute

 

[Airysuit]

Still haven't started on my egg, but looking at the submissions, I may not even bother

 

[Halloqueen]

Same, but hey, I know I won't win going in. I just need 1 more egg currency for the Galaxy Egg though, and you could get one of the ones that cost 3 egg currency. Worth submitting something anyway!

 

[DaCoSim]

Omg these entries this year are crazy good!!! Sure wish we could vote for two or three when it comes down to it. It would be so super hard to choose just one.
