EggShell Mosaic Photoframe

I love creating art from waste materials. I just came across a photo frame made with mosaic, and it strikked me out to create a frame from waste materials. So, I did it with eggs and it turned out creative frame.

Things you'll require:

EggShell - 1 or 2

Cardboards - ( I used waste cardboards i.e from old diary)

Before sticking Eggshell in your frame, wash gently with soaps or soak them in soap water for about 2 to 3 hours. Because, I prefer odorless Eggshell. 

Take a Cardboard, and just measure your photo size and with one inch less than that cut the cardboard . (i.e Middle portion of Cardboard)

Now paint your Cardboard frame using any colors. 

Stick your photo from back of the cardboard. I used my photo with ohp sheet so it looks like glass photoframe.

Stick your egg shells on the frame, and paint with the colors you prefer. 

Allow it to dry for some time, and Varnish your frame.

Note: Varnishing any frame or products lasts for long time. You could also varnish for your clay art to any paintings.
