(Dear Ms. Glenn, I tried to take a better picture of my piece this time, but my bedroom has blue lighting, my bathroom also has crummy lighting, & my camera was running out of battery power.)
Okay, the focus for this project is color. At first I was just going to dye a bunch of eggs, smash them up, and make something pretty. Like an egg mosaic. Then, though, I dyed a bunch of eggs and realized how many eggs a mosaic would take...so...I thought of my mom's words, "Gosh, it's like a home built on eggshells," and I decided I wanted to portray that.
The paints in the background are dark purple & bright red swirls. I think they're very dramatic colors and also mildy creepy together, which is what I wanted.
I have more eggshells to glue on, and I also have to make the house that is going to be built on top of them...but I have no idea how to make the home or what I want it to look like besides dysfunctional.

Are those real egg shells?
i really like the red contrast with the hues of white.
This is so cool. I never would have thought of this. The red almost looks velvety. Can't wait to see what else you do with it.
What a great use of egg shells! Great texture.
