In the larger one, we cut out the central part, departing from the edges by 2.5 cm, for this you can use a clerical knife. It turned out the basis of the future framework.
We paste over the cardboard base with a cloth. This is done to hide cardboard cuts. The fabric can be replaced with paper.
We have come to the most interesting step. We need a shell of four or five eggs. It should be well dried, it is desirable to remove the inner film. We glue a small portion of the frame with glue, take a piece of the egg shell, apply it to the frame and gently press it with a finger. In this case, the shell cracks, taking the form of a mosaic.
We paste over the entire frame with the front side.
Now we need gouache and a brush to colorize our frame. We paint over cracks and gaps between the shells especially carefully. Wipe the surface of the shells with a damp cloth from excess paint.
Varnish the painted surface. The front side of the frame is ready.
We turn the work over and glue the second sheet of cardboard on the back side in the middle, spreading adhesive on the three sides at the edges. The fourth, with a semicircular cut, leave not glued, it will be a pocket for photography.
Glue a strip of cardboard to the back of the frame, which will serve as a backup, or a loop if the frame hangs on the wall.
We put the photo in the pocket and admire your masterpiece!
