18 dana trajala je ova avantura. Vrijeme mi je prebrzo prolazilo i mislila sam da neću uspjeti. Ipak jesam. Tako se sutra mogu posvetiti kolačima, šunki i pisanicama.
Probala sam bilježiti sve faze izrade. Primjetit ćete da slike nisu iste kvalite. Slikane su za radnim stolom. Završeni rad slikan je na uobičajenom mjestu i boje su tu vjernije originalu.
Pa krenimo redom...
18 days took this adventure. My time is passing too fast, and I thought that I would not succeed. However I am. So tomorrow I can devote to cakes, ham and eggs.
I tried to record all stages of production. You will notice that the pictures are not of the same quality. They are taken at a desk. Completed work is photographed at the usual place and the colors are true to the original.
So first things first ...
U početku bijaše jaje od stiropora i svaka je polovica omotana prijanjajućim folijom.
In the beginning was the Styrofoam egg and each half was wrapped in an adhesive foil.
Onda je bilo puno namotaja...
Then there were lots of coils ...
Namotaji su se pretvorili u male kupole...
Coils are turned into small domes ...
I krenulo je slaganje i oblikovanje. Bilo je puno pokušaja i pogrešaka dok nisam dobila dizajn koji mi je bio prihvatljiv. Željela sam prozračniji gornji dio, više elegancije, ali sam zaključila da bi to bio rizik s obzirom na veličinu, a zaista nisam željela da se cijela konstrukcija raspadne nakon skidanja sa kalupa.
I started stacking and shaping. There was a lot of trial and error until I had a design that was acceptable to me. I wanted more diffused upper part, more elegance, but I figured it would be a risk with regard to size, and really did not want to have the whole structure falls apart after removing it from the mold.
Nakon dvostrukog lakiranja došao je red na skidanje sa kalupa...
Ali prije toga, napravila sam početni red druge polovice...
After double-varnishing, time has come to lift the mold ...
But before that, I made the starting line of the second half ...
Dakle, oslobodila sam krajeve folije i prvo izvukla stiropor. Konstrukcija je ostala na foliji i oblik se nije promijenio. Lagano sam skinula prijanjajuću foliju i na moje veliko zadovoljstvo nije došlo do raspadanja na komadiće!
So, I broke free ends of the foil and first pulled Styrofoam. Construction remains on the foil and shape has not changed. Gently I removed the foil and to my great pleasure there was no decomposition into pieces!
Izrada druge polovice bila je puno jednostavnija iako je trebalo puno namotajčića koje sam morala prilagođavati ovalnoj formi jajeta. Odlučila sam donji dio kutije napraviti kompaktnijim kako eventualni sadržaj ne bi ispadao kroz otvore. Dakle, slagala sam namotaje jedan do drugoga.
Making the second half was much simpler, although it took a lot coils that I had to adapt to the oval shape of the egg. I chose the lower part of the box make more compact, so the content does not fall through the holes. So, I'm stacking coils to each other.
Preostalo je napraviti potporanj kako bi kutija stajala ravno, a onda sve to smjestiti na neku podlogu. Odabrala sam okruglu kartonsku podlogu, obojila ju bojom starog zlata, ukrasila ju sa jednostavnim cvjetovima i perlicama i to je to.
Ima je još jedna stvar koju nisam napravila a to je mehanizam na poklopcu koji bi oba dijela držao na mjestu i onemogućio da poklopac nekontrolirano sklizne. Najjednostavnije bi bilo komadićem tkanine na jednom mjestu spojiti oba dijela i da ta tkanina preuzme ulogu šarnira (šarke ili panta). Moram još malo razmisliti o drugim mogućnostima.
It was necessary make prop to keep the box standing straight, and then all placed on a surface. I chose a round cardboard base, painted it the color of old gold, decorated it with simple flowers and beads and that's it.
There is another thing that I have not done. A mechanism that would cover both parts held in place and prevented cover from sliding uncontrollably. The simplest would be a piece of cloth in one place to connect both parts and that the fabric takes over the role of the hinge. I still have to think about other possibilities.
Na mojem dlanu, da dobijete osjećaj veličine.
On my palm, to provide proof of size.
Ukrasi i izgled potpornja.
Ornaments and prop.
Sretan Uskrs i uživajte u blagdanu!
Happy Easter and enjoy the feast!
