Can you do a random lattice of 3 different metal coloured nail. Copper brass and if you can find it aluminium nails. Please?
The store is empty, though :'(
Only 1 item on your shop, bud. Hoping you sold out but bad timing for the sale.
Hi Mate, they are selling out fast, I’m adding new eggs as soon as I finish them
I’m adding new eggs as soon as I finish them
A "seasonings" egg would look cool, pink salt, whole cloves and colored peppercorns, paprika and turmeric etc
That would be cool
I like this! Don’t forget the star anise and cinnamon sticks!
Awesome idea
This reminds me of the seasoning and aquarium product mountainous volcano of smells that quickly awakened me. It was in the mid 90s, when my small children woke up before me one weekend. Probably a bit over a hundred bucks worth of seasoning and fish aquarium products. I cant imagine how much it would cost today 🤪. Had to air out the whole house.
@@sandramays795 ooh, yeah! Star anise and cinnamon have such cool cross sections!
As a seamstress I am in love with this one especially 😻 As for ideas... The fabric egg naturally needs a button egg companion!
Thanks Jessica 😊 👍
How about one with a zipper?
Or "Notions".. buttons, a delicate nylon zipper, a tiny spool of thread with a needle stuck in it, maybe a ribbon or bit of lace?
And it may take a bit longer to collect enough, but an egg made of thread tails and other bits of thread, or perhaps bits of yarn.
@@Emnms68 Ooooh, bits of yarn tho. I have a ton I can donate to the cause LOL
I like how the fabric layers went wavy after the penny layer. A real Princess and the Pea moment!
this pressure pot footage was the most interesting so far. watching the resin move through the layers was fascinating
I would like to see a egg turned from a bunch of the colored transparent dice with just a tiny hint of sparkle , I think that would look awesome, especially if you use mini dice where you could still see some of the pips. Great job as always. Super sweet of Nicole to help you cut up all that fabric 😊
Thanks Diana, cool idea👍😊
@@BensWorx @Bensworx My wife wants to know why is all your Tupperware so clean apart from the manky polishing tub? 😂
Yeah the really tiny dice like the grains of sand Ashley Johnson from critical role uses.
THIS!
Ohhhhhhhhhh! I’m at 14:57 and just realised! YOURE MAKING AN EASTER EGGGGGGG!!!!! That’s so rad! And giving it to someone random too! You’re a legend Ben. I love seeing your videos pop up!
Thanks Mate 👍😊
Just to show how warped my brain is, I started to think he was creating a buttplug
I didn't get it until I read your comment.
Thought it was a plug too lol
Paracord of various colors bunched up to make an egg might look pretty neat!
Tangled bits of wool (called “yarn barf”) would be beautiful !
Absolutely beautiful!! Unfortunately I discovered your channel and watched this video too late to have a chance at receiving the beautiful fabric egg, dagnabbit, but I will be looking into your Etsy offerings in the future nevertheless!
A true egg “fabrication “ love it ❤️ next project could be buttons 👍 Happy Easter 🐣
Thankyou! cool idea 👍
@@BensWorx hey ben, can you set coloured pencils upright in resin and shape that into an egg? I think it would look so cool
This one is really cool. Maybe try casting a pine cone and turning that into an egg.
Thanks Angi 😊 Cool idea
Ben's Worx yeah! And you could do a woodland series. Leaves, sticks, grass, acorns, seeds, flowers.
Great idea
Something about the teamwork between you and Nicole is heartwarming to me. ❤
Simply amazing. I've been sewing for years. The thought of doing this with scraps, never crossed my mind. Beautiful!!!
Awesome work as always, I think an egg made with coffee beans and or tea leaves would look pretty cool.
Thankyou! yeah that would be cool
@@BensWorx Including good smell!
Guessing you have a lot of sawdust piled up from the projects. Wonder how it’d look if you did different layers with dust from different types of wood? Could even mix in dust from other materials…
I Loved this idea. I think an interesting everyday item you could try is just the handy dish sponge. I would love to see how the texture would turn out . I have really enjoyed your creativeness, thank you again for another stunning piece..
Wow that is phenomenal. So beautiful. As a sewing crazy lady and coin collector…that’s perfect! I just found your channel so I can’t wait to see more works.
Eggshells in resin brown and white shell layers. The perfect 🥚 Another idea is leaves dried fall leaves like red Japanese maple brown oak leaves yellow maples etc. If you collect them fresh you can flatten em in books to get flat layers or not.
Japanese lace leaves are amazing and great for turtle habitats.
could you use broken shards of eggshells dyed for easter eggs? i really like your channel the items are beautiful
Thanks Jeanette, nice idea 👍
Ok your idea is better than mine with brown and white eggshells
@@Rareplymouth ohhh that would be cool with all the shades of eggshells! like with darker browns at the bottom, then tans, then beige, then white at the top!!!! your idea would be awesome too!
I've even seen green egg shells (naturally colored - not spoiled).
@@jeanette8943 thank you I thought the layering would be beautiful. I have box turtles so I've ground up eggshells in a mortal and pestle to add calcium to their food. It just seems like larger shell chunks would be awesome. The natural tans and browns, ivory n white would be a beautiful neutral toned decor piece. Wild bird eggs are amazing colors. (No wild eggs should be disturbed) just a personal disclaimer as I only have captive bread turtles, never remove a turtle from the wild. They aren't a good pet for children. Lots of work.
As a quilter, I love this. A tip would be to zig zag fold the fabric, pin and cut about 8 at a time 😉
Loving the new video angles and a bit of artists flair. Keep up the great work Ben! Thanks Nicole for the donations. Xx😍
This reminded me of Peter Brown and Nick Zametti's forays with micarda and after seeing the insane amount of fabric you had I kind of get why you didn't soak layer by layer of fabric... It would've been an eternity! Amazing and beautiful project as always man
Thankyou 😊
Same , thats what i wanted to say plus i was afraid it would fail , like a pocket of air between layers , you know ? Im glad it didnt.
Love this! I'm a quilter and I'll tell ya I felt the stress of cutting all those pieces. Lol. I can't wait to watch you make buttons♡
I’m also a quilter and I’d love an egg like that. I bet many others who work (or play!) with fabric would too. Maybe fabric eggs should become more of a regular thing in the Etsy shop?
I was just thinking, _use a rotary cutter!_ A rotary fabric cutter could take on a few layers of fabric at a time! Just do squares, and let the lathe round it out... Even rolling the corners off with a cutter would make octagons, which for the purpose, is close enough to a circle.
What about small colored spools of thread? Or maybe a ton snippets of lace or yarn? Makes me want to get a lathe and try it myself.
That turned out stunning! I’m a new addict to your channel and I love the idea of turning common items into fantastic artwork.
Gorgeous, brilliant, and absolutely amazing. I love to quilt because of the beautiful colors and patterns on the cotton fabrics I use. You have brought to life the fabrics you chose. These eggs are wonderful.
While I was watching you make your fabric egg, I wondered what one would look like if you added dried plant seed pods and tops of grasses, etc. I really enjoyed this and will pass it on to my brother. Victoria
Really nice Ben...when the 'beauty shots' were shown at the end, my first impression/thought was a really, REALLY detailed view of Jupiter! The layers resemble the stripes so much.
This was so worth watching! Ben, it’s relaxing watching you create. When I’m stressing I sit and see what you are making that day. Silly I know…just wanted you to know that it’s not always about making thing but how creative ppl can be. Thanks for sharing.
Such a unique concept. I have made basic quilts and cutting all that fabric was the hardest part. The egg turned out so beautiful. Such a treasure!
Everything in this video just radiates wholesome vibes, love it
Thankyou
I love the idea for the series! Seems very Peter Brown inspired and I like that.
I didn't expect that. It turned out fantastic. Lots better than I anticipated. Thank you, for sharing!
The dedication you've put into this project is mindblowing and it really payed off. It looks so beautiful you've done an amazing job.
Beautiful art work 👍
Sweet wrappers might make a cool egg look, especially if they’re the wrappers from chocolates and Easter eggs
I was not expecting it to come out so beautiful 😍
I really loved this video. I didn't think at first it could be so gorgeous when you were cutting out the fabric. But it came together real nice and getting there was really interesting to watch.
Absolutely stunning, I love the effect all the fabric layers give to the egg, I could stare at it for hours, picking different layers ect. Very cool. Have just ordered the galaxy egg- super excited for it to arrive 😀 😄 😊
Thankyou Amie, I appreciate your support
Came out looking great👍. Grass clippings would be fun to see done the same as you did this one.
Great work. I absolutely love this - you are a true artist.
Absolutely stunning Ben
oh that's pretty! micartas always take a lot more resin/glue than you expect. it would be horrendous for your tools but an egg made of screws or metal swarf would be pretty cool.
Thankyou! yeah I can try 👍
@CyborgOctopus Okay. Two words here that are strange to me: 1) micartas and 2) swarf Going to check with Google on these... thank you for increasing my vocabulary!
This has come out beautiful! The customer who gets this will be very lucky...as for egg that canyou do some of indigenous seeds...tht could look pretty cool 👍
Thankyou, yeah it would be cool
as a fabric artist, I totally LOVE this egg!
Your voice is so calming it just makes me happy 😊
That turned out 'A Lot' nicer than I was expexting. Absolutely lovely.
Thankyou
I've been thinking it might be fun to do something with resin and pet hair. Love the fabric Ben!
Such an amazing talent you have and I am always blown away by what you create
WOW! As a fabric lover I simply adore this
Color some (a lot) of eggs with dye and put the broken shell pieces in resin, and turn that into an egg. This was a very cool project. I look forward to more.
Oh yeah Ben love the look of the build. So very cool I love it just I do all your work ! 👍👍👏👏👏👌👌
Thanks Jimmy 😊
Wow! That’s gorgeous! 😍
Seriously original. Great job.
This turned out great! The patience it took to cut out all of the pieces - I'm in awe. Next egg: stacked Legos!
I have a family in my church that has a Legos selling business from their home. That would make a great gift!
Please, that would be cool
Absolutely beautiful!
Wow!! Just beautiful!!
That is your most BEAUTIFUL egg yet! Looks like layers of different types of geological sediment! I would buy it! Please consider making others for sale!
Thankyou, I’ll see what I can do
I agree! As a quilter I would be interested in purchasing one too!
@@BensWorx you would need to figure out a way to punch the circles out of fabric instead of cutting with sizers. Looks gorgeous, but the time you had to put in this one was real.
I'd like to see you poach an egg then try to "egg that". Love your videos Ben! Thanks for all the fantastic content.
Thankyou 😊👍
So wonderful. Someone will be thrilled to.have it! I hope the person sews. Its a treasure.
😱 you do so much work! Your so talented!
I really loved this video! I'm learning to quilt and found this so inspirational!! your work is awesome. I'm also a boardgamer as a hobbiest. Do you think you can create a fun piece that has all sorts of gaming resources? meeples, wood, coal, iron, pegs, dice, tokens.... and the list goes on!! 🙂
Cool Ben. I would really love to see an egg yolk, inside a resin egg... not sure it would even be possible, but it would look so cool... Happy Easter!
Thankyou 👍
Turned a lot cooler than I would've ever thought. Nice job!
I have seen some amazing things made out of scrap fabric this might just be the craziest. Beautiful.
Beauty egg! Egg-cellent work as always Ben! 😎👍🏼👊🏼 What about using like yarn and layering that? Maybe getting interesting squiggles? Or layering different nail polishes? I’ll have to think of a few more for suggestions.
Thanks Brad 😊 yeah that would be cool
A thick knit scarf that is then rolled up might be grand for this idea. It would spiral out from the center while having a knit pattern along the sides.
I wonder if different shaped/colored pastas would look neat in a cast?
randomly got recommended this, i dont think ive ever heard someones voice sound so pleasant and relaxing?? amazing video - will def be binging more later!
Simply gorgeous. I would get lost staring at it for days
hey ben, can you set coloured pencils upright in resin and shape that into an egg? I think it would look so cool :)
How did it feel turning it? Did it feel like normal resin pour or was it harder or softer?
definitely harder
Just gorgeous!
I just stumbled across your channel. I'm impressed by your creativity. I've been turning wood as a hobby for over 20 years and while I have turned wood and resin, I've never once thought of turning cloth and resin. Good work.
8 hours… best get stuff done beforehand so I can watch
2 hours left, did you get everything done yet?
@@Random-uj9xu i had actually! I got to see the live premiere
@@wolflinggon5664 same lol
Wow. So beautiful. My grandmother would love something like this.
Fascinating to watch the process from start to egg . 🥚
Gorgeous!!!
WOW !!that just amazing so beautiful never seen anything like that using scrap material very interesting to watch ! Thanks from NZ
Oh Ben, this is beautiful 😍. I’m sorry I missed the chance for this wonderful egg. I’m looking forward to watching more of your fantastic work. 👍👍. I enjoy watching
Beautiful egg, and a wonderful idea to use coloured fabric. Great work, and incredible patience in cutting out all those circles. 👍🏼😊
Wow it’s gorgeous!!!! & sooo cool.
this video is so wonderful and sweet! marvelous work and great voice over.
I think that an egg turned from yarn scraps would look super cool. There is an enormous variety of colors, textures, and weights of yarn, so it would probably turn out really nice in the end.
I was thinking actual knitted swatches - various gauges.
Stunning job!!!
Beautiful work!!
Beautiful work 💝
Stunning!
Wow, I stumbled across this video and was immediately hooked. The egg turned out absolutely beautiful!
So talented and so enjoyable to watch you work
Love love love the way this turned out. If you do more (and list them on Etsy) consider one sold! So beautiful and unique. Please make more "1k layers of fabric eggs" - please!!!
That's beautiful!!💗
Was skeptical until I saw the end results, WONDERFUL job! It looks amazing
Love it, Ben! I've got to go see your Etsy Shop!!!
I’ve seen a couple of your videos before and this one was the final straw - I’ve finally subscribed. Thanks for the great videos!
Thankyou!
I am stunned with the beauty of this egg!
so unique. That's the product of a very creative mind. I Love it.
Your cinematography is really good! I really like the detail and storytelling.
I enjoyed watching this immensely! ❤️
I’m quite impressed! Beautiful!
Absolutely amazing and Beautiful. I wish I had the machines to make something’s I love your creativity 💜
Love the appearance of the texture behind a smooth surface.
