RECYCLED EGG Version II
Lately Ive been busy over the last week or so finishing my recycled egg sculpture. When I did it the first time for the school exhibition it wasn’t finished, the part that was on the floor had no pieces of computer motherboards on it. Well I have spent the last few weeks getting some more computers from the recycling man, taking all the motherboards out of their cases and stripping them down, then cutting them up into squares with my tile cutter. I have pasted them on and now the whole egg is covered. Im coating over the lot with polyurethane to give it a shine and help keep the pieces melded together. Its looking really good now. I learnt a lot about working with polyurethane and computer parts while I was doing this one.

On Saturday Im going to enter it into the local A & P show. That should be a real giggle. They have a craft and hobby section along with the dahlia, preserves, cakes, sewing, embroidery etc sections. In the craft and hobby section is a class called “a recycled article” I thought it would be fun to put a big spacey looking egg shape in the same room with the pickles and jams etc…. should look a hoot. Rotflmao. It costs a whole 50c to enter and If I win I get $5.00 prize money hahhahaha. That should be a blast. I will post a photo of my new rennovated egg and let you all know if I get anywhere at the A & P show…
In the meantime here is a coup
le of photos of Version I:
Wonderful Idea! Now how about a photograph?
I can just imagine the comments that you will get from the local A & P Show, I wish I was there to see the results!
Apart from that, we need more wacky ideas as art in the various compositions around the countryside. I’ve got a couple of ideas that I’m working on now, hopefully I’ll have them finished in time for a certain modern competition coming up.

Hi Alan,
Here is a photo of my egg sculpture from the school exhibition, where it wasn’t quite finished. But I promise to get one amongst all the A & P stuff as well, cause I think that will be a hoot.
Wonderful!
