Gold Award < Back Name Private December 1, 2023 Gold Award CATEGORY: Novelty PATHWAY: Accelerated TYPE OF EGGS: Emu,Quail,Goose “Bear in the Woods” 1. Bear. This is made from three types of eggs. Ears were carved and cut from an emu egg, head is a quail egg and the body is an unknown small egg. The head, body and ears were glued together with sculpy glue. Sculpy was added to the head and trunk to make the snout, belly, and back. This was baked at 275 degrees for 20 minutes. The arms and legs were made from wire wrapped with sculpy and attached. A layer of modeling paste was added to the bear and a high-speed drill was used to make the appearance of hair. The next step was a wash with dark brown on the body and a black wash around the eyes and nose. Different browns were also added to the bear’s coat. The final coat on the bear was a mixture of Pebeo lightening medium, a small amount of vitrail brown paint, and Jaquard antique gold bronze powder. Eyes were added and the bear was highlighted with 6 ss crystal smoked topaz and 5ss mocha flatbacks. 2. Bee hive. The quail egg was wrapped with 1mm pearl leather cording, washed with dark brown and coated with the above Pebeo mix. Yellow vitrail was used to make the honey dripping on the outside. 3. Stump. The mid-section from a goose egg was cutout. The top of the stump was a piece of cardboard glued in. Modeling paste was applied all over. The bark markings were made using a highspeed drill as well as the rings on top of the stump. Different brown/black washes were used to color the bark and top of the stump. The Peboe mixture as above was applied to the stump. 4. Various grasses, moss, weeds, and my cold porcelain flowers adorned the scene. The butterfly and bird were little things I did not make but thought they added a little color. Previous Next

Bronze Award < Back Tetiana Medianyk February 12, 2025 Bronze Award CATEGORY: Carved PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Ostrich To create the design I use carving, a special drill with different attachments for cutting and finally for polishing. The egg is placed on a stand with a LED lamp, multi-color with a remote control. This egg depicts Pegasus - a symbol of confidence, steadfastness and stateliness. The winged horse of the gods, which Zeus turned into a constellation after his death and we still see it flying across the sky. As a lamp, such an egg will complement the interior of any room, both a child's room and an adult bedroom, and can be a stylish addition to a business office. Previous Next

Silver Award < Back Leslie Lisdell M.D., USA April 25, 2025 Silver Award CATEGORY: Mixed/ Other Media PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Rhea "The Sea Goddesses" is made from a rhea and tiny button quail (octopus topper). Several images were found of different sea goddesses (Ceto, Aphrodite, Amphitrite) and these were altered to facilitate the etching process. Ovals were drawn and the altered images outlines were traced. Additional details in the images were drawn by hand. The rest of the egg had to be covered during the etching process which was difficult. A kitska was used to cover the images lines with wax and each oval was repeatedly acid etched to a certain depth. Champagne gold leaf was applied on the images and additional darker gold leaf was applied to highlight some parts of the images. Swarovski crystals were applied to make their crowns. Once this was done the ovals were covered with foil and the egg painted using Lumiere Metallic green which has streaks of gold. The octopus was made from a tiny button quail by covering it with polymer clay and sculpting the rest of the body and legs. It was baked, painted and covered in Swarovski crystals. The octopus was placed to look like it was crawling down the front with a baby octopus behind it. The baby octopus is made from polymer clay entirely. The stand was repainted and adorned with crystals. Two bases were connected to make the final base. Previous Next
