Smirky little grin on this egg, made from a chicken egg, polymer clay, fabric and yarn, and a little bit of paint and Varathane. Many steps here:
1) removing the egg contents (scrambled and consumed)
2) covering the egg with a thin rolled out layer of peach colored polymer clay and curing for 30 min
3) drilling out the eyes and mouth and back of head for a working approach to put in the eyes;
4) making polymer clay eyes, adding screw eyes and weights to the back of each of the eyes and painting the white highlights
5) building up the nose and mouth and re-baking
6) using a bent paper clip to create an arc through the eye beads, and hot gluing that in position making sure the eyes could flutter up and down, then using button thread to connect the screw eyes and tied-on weights up through a hole in the back of the head
7) using hot glue (carefully so as not to melt the polymer clay) to seat the back of the head where it belonged and adding hair
8) threading the button thread for the eyes through a little blue bead and tying it off (so the threads wouldn’t slip back into the egg cavity
9) building a stand (sawed off plastic thread bobbin)
10) making a ruffle.
