Hello everybody! Today something which may recall spring time to your mind - an egg. Although it indeed is a main part of Easter celebration, I thought that maybe it can gain a new meaning. Perhaps as a glass ball, or an Autumn decoration? Anyway - there you go, the Retro Egg!

It took a long time to complete, but the result is pretty awesome. I started with a plastic egg which you can open. I used metallic paint and a special kind of gold paper to get this "rust" effect.

It has a really shabby, worn look - the battered colors of gold, brown, rust-coloured and coppered. I wanted it to seem to be made from metal, so that it will shine and glitter. I added two types of cotton ribbon and a lace. I also attached a artificial flower on its side and a metallic round "thing"at the front.

I hope you're having a good time and enough of power to carry on to the weekend!
