Pameran Poskad 2020 : Preperation for Submission of Heart Egg

Lexicon : My image of the heart is not heart shaped but an egg shaped. It is hollow for the owner just to put only one precious thing inside it. Once the thing is inside , it gives birth to the bountiful of emotions and reactions related to it.

The reference was from Pirates of the Caribbean , Davy Jones placed his precious heart locked in the treasure chest. Whoever holds the key to the lock , holds key to Davy Jones life. 

But what if the heart itself is the box , it is hollow and long for one precious thing to be put inside.....

How to Cut an Egg ?

 

I bought an egg holder and needle files to attempt to file the egg. Fail!

I used an mini grinder attached to a mini circular saw to cut it . Failed!

Finally sawing an egg works with a lot of patience. Success! 

Floating Egg 

I did not imagine the egg floated away like in reality when I poured resin.  It came as a surprise to me. 

 I sketched up some ideas to prevent the egg from floating away.

Eventually all I have to do is just the glue the egg shell to the base of the container.

I poured the resin into two containers for two half of the egg shells and prayed that both would eventually fit and match nicely as I have imagined.

Heart Egg Assembly

 

 

Well i intentionally made a slide mismatch on the external container to match the top and bottom egg shell.

 

 The resin was stuck to the container and therefore it too became part of the design.
