Polymer clay egg box and pearls

This polymer clay egg box was made using left over clay (marbelized) smoothed with a brayer over a wooden egg (dusted with baking soda as a release). I carved an equatorial cut in the coating of polymer clay just before curing.  When the top and bottoms were separated with a knife, the flowers and leaves and beads were added.   I actually preferred, after this experiment, using whole eggs, not wooden eggs, as separating the wooden base from the cured clay wasn’t easy.
