the sweetest little chick just hatched!
For this sweet antique inspired chick and her egg I used the antique spun cotton technique.
A little history of spun cotton: The making of Spun cotton ornaments originated in Germany in the 19th century. Cotton was spun around a wire frame and sealed with a natural glue or starch.
Chick is painted yellow and stained with a Grimm-mix to give it an antique vintage feel. Chick has black bead eyes, and chick is accented with pink ribbon bow.
The chick is firmly attached to the inside of half of one egg and can not be removed. I made the egg with spun cotton, painted white and sprinkled with clear German glass glitter. The egg the chick is sitting in firmly attach to mossy base. The other egg can be arranged however you like it to do.
The base is embellished with vintage millinery flowers and little eggs.
Piece measures 4 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches.
