"Sacred Madonna” This is an original and completed design. I used multiple advanced techniques in creating this elegant and stunning piece. Flip the back toggle switch, the custom designed / made lighted crystal chandelier illuminates (with numerous flat back crystals, and hand cut drop crystals), and the music box plays "Wind Beneath My Wings. Special care and technique was used to “bury” the interior flat wiring (behind the Gold Leaf), from the base to the chandelier. The egg was first completely sanded to a uniform smooth surface (removing the outer egg enamel layer and texture). There are two intricately carved crosshatch windows (the crosshatch “bars” are part of the eggshell). The interior was layered with 24k Antiqued Gold Leaf (to mimic an aged gold ceiling). A combined 12 coat process, using a professional Auto-enamel pearlescent coating and clear coat was used on the exterior of the egg. All crystals are Swarovski Crystals. Findings, base & stand, top are all gold plated. The Porcelain figurine is hand painted and permanently mounted to the piece.
