What was your inspiration?
I love classic eggs like Faberg. It is possible to create decorative eggs like this working on very cheap materials like plastic, or much precious ones like porcelaine or ostrich eggs.
What are you most proud of?
Would you believe it was a plastic egg? I think I couldn't be that proud than looking at the final effect
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Be precise when cutting. It may be a bit difficult with very thin or little prints.
