I made this...

... for my wife, a few years ago. The whale is a kind of totem animal for her. She likes whale's ability to dance effortlessly in the ocean, as if floating and weighing nothing.

I can't tell what kind of wood it was, as I took a nice looking piece out a pile of scraps, but I whittled and carved it by hand, finishing it with a few coats of shellac.

The visible part of the picture has been chosen to respect the 7.5cm limit rule.

For this series, addressing Macro Monday's "Egg" topic, I've got inspired by the Easter tradition of blowing eggs empty and decorating them.

I've made a tiny pin hole on the pointy end of the egg and a bigger one on the other side, in order to empty it. I've then inserted a candle wick through the top hole and poured some melted wax through the bottom end, until the egg shell was filled.

Then it was play time! 😊

I wish you all an "eggcellent" week and a Happy Macro Mondays!
