This topiary egg was made with an empty chicken egg shell, which was covered first in a pale pink polymer clay and cured. Thereafter it was cut in a jagged way to simulate the cracking of a chicken egg. The halfs were covered with polymer clay canes (kind of a spiral) and cured again, and sanded. The center tree and flowers were constructed and affixed with liquid polymer clay and regular polymer clay to the bottom of the large portion of the egg shell and cured again.
