Step 2Bind two small cups together to make the former
Once I had taken all the reference images I needed, and before we had spent too much time in the vicinity of the dragon's lair, we retreated to our camp, some miles distant and began the replication process.
So that you might follow this process and replicate an egg of your very own. I had Collinworth instruct a local artisan to draw out the fabrication steps in as simple and as clear way as possible. The paper has become slightly aged over time, but I feel that he has done an acceptable job, and you should be able to follow them with little difficulty.
Of course we had bought ample equipment for our endeavour, but metal working apparatus and machinery are far too heavy to carry and i had previously been informed that the locals possessed an uncanny ability to work metal in a way that we were unlikely to better.
I made contact with the local village elders and after only a short negotiation, had secured the employ of the province's most skilled precious metalsmith. The language is melodious but difficult to master, nevertheless, using the few words I had learned on the voyage, my rough and somewhat ready empire French, and hand gestures, we managed to communicate reasonably enough, and the first task was completed swiftly without incident.
Two hollow ivory cups were fashioned and joined together using a short piece of adhesive bandage.
Nowadays, I learn from Collinworth, you can create an effect not unlike ours, by using the closures from any suitable beauty care product (such as, deodorants, hair sprays or shaving gels) as the cups, and that they may be bound together using any suitable clear adhesive tape.
