Frozen

I saw this on FB a few weeks ago and wanted to try it.

By making a hole in an egg and pouring it out, one has a perfect shell.

A small flower (which I could not find and only had the frangipani blossom in yesterdays post) gets put in and covered with water. Freeze until hard and break off the shell.

I then put the frozen egg in a small glass container and took a photo of it in the ice tray.

I am sure with the right flower it would look so much better, but I used what I could find here around the garden.

Love it - and so simple to make when you know how !! -- nicely presented amongst the ice cubes ! fav

Turned out wonderfully.

I'm trying to figure how you get a flower inside the shell through a small hole. this is an interesting result tho, the orange is gorgeous

[Michelle]

Very clever and such a beautiful result

[LManning (Laura)]

The ice makes the colour so vibrant! I was wondering the same thing as @koalagardens - how does that work?

[katy]

truly beautiful! FAV

[Heather]

Such a beautiful and unique image, Diana! And thank you for explaining your process. Like @koalagardens and @ljmanning, I'm wondering how you managed to get the flower inside the shell- care and patience, I imagine. Fav!

[gloria jones]

Well done.

[Rob Z]

What a fascinating project and result.

[Babs]

I must give this a go when I get chance, I saw the frangipani the other day and was impressed.

@koalagardens @ljmanning @365projectorgheatherb After I saw Diana's photo of the frangipani yesterday, I checked out how to make them on YouTube this is one of the clips I found.

@onewing Thanks for the link Babs, I wish I knew that before. I only saw someone do two eggs on FB which seemed a bit more complicated than the video.

I was rather stupid and should have googled too ;-)

[Issi Bannerman]

@koalagardens Ha ha ... me too!

[Issi Bannerman]

I love this image. So beautifully presented. I'm being thick though and can't work out how you got the flower inside the eggshell. I need to do a spot of googling as well. Great result though. :-)

[Merrelyn]

I was wondering about your egg shape. I was imagining that you had an egg shaped ice mould.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@ludwigsdiana @onewing so if you didn't do it like the link Babs sent, how did you do it? we are all so impressed!

it's funny because when I've always heard - make a small hole ... I've imagine a TINY hole. hence my wondering, how do you get the flower through the tiny hole.

in the video I would have called that make a big hole taking off the top end of the egg lolol size matters!

[Heather]

@onewing Thank you so much!

[Steve Chappell]

Excellent idea and capture

[Tia]

What an interesting thing to do. I shall have to try it.
