Amazing!! Your egg 🥚 is gorgeous just like your baby & wife! I woke up with an idea to make an egg for myself for a photo shoot. Lots to think about. 🤩
I love that project o found it in time , I wanted to make an egg like that for this years Easter decoration and hope it’s not yo late to start. Thank you for giving nice and clear instructions also thank you for posting it.
Great little video. I had already started making a New Born Prop sized egg, when I decided to see if anyone else had made one. I'm making mine having started with a balloon, but I'm using plaster bandages to get the cracked open shell look. Once it's finished, I'll let you see the outcome.
WOW, great idea, awesome job. Liked how you pointed out ways it went wrong and suggestions. I think a newborn size would be easier to make, which is what most photographers need. How about a new video on newborn size? Keep up great work. Subscriber from Florida.
My son always ask me to give him big surprise egg gift. I was finding how to make one.. not even a single idea i had. After watch this really feel thankful to god for helped me to watch ur video thanks a lot. Tomorrow is his bday. Im gonna make this today..
Very informative! I just treated myself to a very large metal dragon sculpture, and she will need a nest of eggs. I want one cracked open, and to have a hatchling dragon nearby (which my blacksmith boyfriend and I want to make ourselves if all goes well). I'm now pondering how to make a paper mâché egg last outside (even if it's for one season at a time). I'm sure there is some kind of sealer that would suffice. :-) Great job!
Your egg came out WAY nicer then mine is coming along! I did not do nearly enough layers and I’m coating my egg in a type of clay so I can do a scary texture to mimic a more artistic interpretation of a dinosaur egg for newborn photography idea. I hope mine can come out as good as yours but it needs a lot of TLC from the clay cracking
Ah, yes clay would be problematic with even a little flex. Perhaps a layer of fabric and if you are after texture paint or glue with sand in. Good luck
Hey there. How many days did the project take/ how long for each layer to dry. I'm hopeful to pull off a last minute project with this one but not sure it'll cure in time for my session Saturday
Hi, as stated in the video: wheatpaste glue is 4:1 water to flour, well cooked plus generous helping of salt as a mould inhibitor. I think I used about 1 and a half 4L batches.
@@cutiedew69 I eyeballed the salt, too much might interfere with the glue. Try a quarter to a half a cup. Consider a powered insect poison like boric acid if that might be a problem for you too.
Liatach how much fabric and white paper? I’m planning to make a cracked egg for my 9 month old photo session. Can you advise on quantity of materials needed?
This is extremely helpful. I make all my own props and an egg is next on my list
Thanks for showing us the problems you ran into. That helps a lot to know what might be normal if attempted.

I love it! It is exactly the same way that I was thinking to do it but smaller as an easter decoration for my dinning table!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
what is the composition? pls!
How many parts of water and flour have you put? Pls I wanna know exact measurement you've used!🥺
sorry for late reply as in video its a 4:1 ratio mix.
How did you get the tight shaped balloon - help!! My biggest dilemma shape. Do you have the link to that balloon?
I bought giant balloons on Ali and taped over the valve to make a smoother shape
Do you sell these eggs?! Looking for one for a prop for my one year old in a month or so!
Can you write the ingredients to make the glue please thanks
4:1 water to flour with generous pinches of salt to inhibit mold all boiled till the wheat particles dissolve. rub between fingers to feel.
How old is the child? I’m wanting to do something like this for my two year old but not sure it’ll fit him.
He was about 2 there so you should be good.
Do you rent or sell the egg?
Can you make one big enough for an adult to sit in it or is that not possible? I just saw a Pamela Anderson photoshoot with a giant egg
you are excellent

hi. what are the ingredients and its measurements that u use?

SUPEEEEEEEEEEER
What size balloon did you use?
I can't remember sorry, I just searched for a giant balloon on ebay.
Is all purpose flour ok?
Yes, that's what we call plain flour :). Be sure to boil it well until the tiny grains of flour dissolve.
Did you put sugar? Or is it just plain flour & water?
@@thedlvgs salt to inhibit mould growth. Depends on your climate
@@LiatachMakes Oh good to know, so how much salt would you add? I live in the PNW it's very damp here
@@cutiedew69 I eyeballed the salt, too much might interfere with the glue. Try a quarter to a half a cup. Consider a powered insect poison like boric acid if that might be a problem for you too.
did you use all 14 kilos paper?
No not even close. Probably only 1or2 kg of butchers paper, +fabric and white paper.

Do you take commissions for props?
