Christmas Sleigh - Real Goose Egg

This simple yet elegant sleigh design was made using a real goose eggshell. The egg was marked to resemble a sleigh and then carefully cut with an air drill. The The outside of the egg is painted white with a pearl sealer top coat. the inside of the egg is white as well with a layer of iridescent glitter. The cut edge of the egg is decorated with three rows of gold and white braid. The wide end of the egg has a gold plated metal finding with a rhinestone in the middle to cover the hole where the contents of the egg were originally taken out. Finally the egg was glued to the gold-plated metal sled with epoxy. For decoration I filled the sled with silk poinsettias. You can fill it with anything of your choice.
