World-in-an-egg: Make a Fabergé-style hen egg

Hello.
Since a long time I want to post my own Instructable, but didn't know what to post. Until a few days ago I saw the Faberge-Style egg contest post, and decided to post my own.
All you need is a hen egg, some tools, mom's cheap jewelry and a lot of patience.
I hope you like it.

• Clamp.
• Cutting Plier.
• Rotary Tool.
• Soldering Iron.
• Brushes.
• Safety Goggles.
• Safety Mask (for egg dust).

This one is one of my very favorites on here,Id really like to see someone do one with a clockwork within.

how much does it cost? and how long does it take?

[nicolasjara]

I made it only with recycled stuff and spent about 2 dollars in gold paint. I worked in the egg for 3 weeks on evenings.

BEST EGG EVER

[lrayo]

It's just the Fabergé-Style Egg I've ever wanted to make. Very cool meeting all your friends through the construction steps also. All Best

[Grey_Wolfe]

Excellent idea. Love the mini globe thing, very cool. Just thought of a way to make it an led project, bu it's not always easy to get ping pong balls back together after cutting them in half.

[nicolasjara]

I had thought this

[Grey_Wolfe]

Exactly the same idea I had. I small a small piece of hard plastic tube where you have the tape, but same principle. Also saw it being wired into the base with a small push button for on/off. That way all or most of the circuit is hidden. And you have full control. I tried to think of how to activate it when opened. And while I can see it, I don't think it's reasonable for this type of project. Takes away the inherent simplicity. IMO

I'm surprised blue monkey let you take an egg.

[nicolasjara]

It was really hard to take it. I had to give him some bananas

[RadBear]

Very cool!!!!

[nicolasjara]

Thanks. Your egg is also nice. Fish King rules!

[RadBear]

Thanks. I'll pass you praise on to his Gilled Majesty!! :)
