This ornament is made from a real chicken egg. I drilled holes at each end and blew out the insides. Very tasty.
Then, I added embellishments with Super Sculpey and paper mache.... Then painted the whole thing with a special blend of acrylics and metal powders. It hangs from a copper chain. This can be used as a Christmas Ornament, though I suppose it could also work for Easter or just for any fun occasion.

I'm making a series of blown egg ornaments. You can see the others here:
Avocados are my favorite fruit. I eat about one per day. I save the pits and carve them too. I'm finally getting good enough at carving that I might post some here. (My first 30 or so attempts were just reeaally sad lookin'.)
Thanks. I mixed real metal powders with acrylic paints. It's expensive stuff, but it looks awesome. Plus, since they're real metals they develop patina over time. Like, the copper part along the bottom of the egg will eventually develop a greenish copper patina. Super awesome.
Beer, Avocados... both great things.
