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.
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 😊
You should market it as a quilters egg. So many quilters have piles of fabric, it would be a nice piece to use as a quilters award or just a nice gift to a quilter to use on their design boards as a weight.
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.
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…
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!
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..
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.
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.
@@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!
@@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.
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.
Ben. When Peter Brown made a bracelet from an old pair of jeans, he wetted the denim in the resin one piece at a time. I think you did the better way as Peter was fed up at the end. But the thing he said was how soft the end product was. Might be worth giving denim a go? 😀👍
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
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
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!
Capture a growing plant in resin. A seedling or a small bush or something small enough and then once the resin has set then leave the plant and see if it will grow and be strong enough to crack the resin or will it die. . . . If it does die then we fund a way to clean out all the plant material out of all the voids inside the resin to see what it looks like when all the plant material has been removed and maybe fill the void with a green or golden resin with maybe some mini fairy lights in it. Hopefully light up the space where the plant used to be . Yes! Glow in the dark dust mixed in the resin used to fill the void . . . . . I would like to see that in an egg. . . . . . TGC Blessings:)
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.
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.
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.
Thanks so much for a great video! The way you film is very artistic and your narration is excellent. Man, there’s so much to clean up after this type of work!
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.
got to follow that one up with thread. There is more than just fabric. i'l like to see you do a whole series of the stuff seamstresses use that is not metal.
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.
@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!
My first time here, dad had a lathe. I love your ideas! I agree with the buttons. My Grandma saved her buttons. Most were she'll, MOP, bone. Buttons before plastic! They are beautiful, and I was about to make something for my mom. I'd like to see she'll and old old buttons.
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 👍
I'd love to see layers of make-up - you could even use old stuff friends and family are planning to throw away to make it an up-cycled product! It's also a cheap way to colour the egg :)
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!! 🙂
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!
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m a fashion designer so I understand how tedious cutting fabric can get. Using scissors that have not been used for any other purpose other than cutting fabric are best. Or using a manual rotary cutter. Both are cheaply sold at your local Walmart or whatever grocery and/or craft store you might have near you. Tho I don’t think it’s worth buying if you are only going to use them once.
Thanks for stopping by, you can check out my eggs in my Etsy store ➡️ www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx
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!
I like how the fabric layers went wavy after the penny layer. A real Princess and the Pea moment!
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
Saw dust,small pine cones,coke tabs,yarn,legos. And Thanks for the vid!
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!

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.
I love the frayed edges of the fabric. The individual threads floating on the surface. Stunning piece!
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!
this pressure pot footage was the most interesting so far. watching the resin move through the layers was fascinating
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…
Paracord of various colors bunched up to make an egg might look pretty neat!
Tangled bits of wool (called “yarn barf”) would be beautiful !
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
Something about the teamwork between you and Nicole is heartwarming to me. ❤
Everything in this video just radiates wholesome vibes, love it
Thankyou
It’s really pretty. I like it a whole lot.
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
I have seen some amazing things made out of scrap fabric this might just be the craziest. Beautiful.
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
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..

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.
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.
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.

So wonderful. Someone will be thrilled to.have it! I hope the person sews. Its a treasure.
Sweet wrappers might make a cool egg look, especially if they’re the wrappers from chocolates and Easter eggs
Simply gorgeous. I would get lost staring at it for days
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♡

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.

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!
I am stunned with the beauty of this egg!
As a quilter, I love this. A tip would be to zig zag fold the fabric, pin and cut about 8 at a time 😉
Simply amazing. I've been sewing for years. The thought of doing this with scraps, never crossed my mind. Beautiful!!!
I've been thinking it might be fun to do something with resin and pet hair. Love the fabric Ben!
This egg made me think about the Fabergé eggs. This egg should be in that collection!!!
Was skeptical until I saw the end results, WONDERFUL job! It looks amazing
Beautiful art work 👍

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
OMG, I love this so much, I bought it! As a quilter, we all talk about what to do with left over scraps. I’m taking this to our next meeting!
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 😊👍
as a fabric artist, I totally LOVE this egg!
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
Your voice is so calming it just makes me happy 😊
Came out looking great👍. Grass clippings would be fun to see done the same as you did this one.
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!
I wonder if different shaped/colored pastas would look neat in a cast?
I'd love to see layers of make-up - you could even use old stuff friends and family are planning to throw away to make it an up-cycled product! It's also a cheap way to colour the egg :)
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 👍

Great for quilters like me and I love eggs like this.
Love the appearance of the texture behind a smooth surface.
Have you tried turning a book. Glue all the pages together then turn on your lathe. Hmm food for thought.
I think a bark and moss egg would be really cool. Some twigs and berries. A spig of an evergreen. Forest themed eggs would be so cool in my opinion
I didn't expect that.
It turned out fantastic.
Lots better than I anticipated.
Thank you, for sharing!
Loving the new video angles and a bit of artists flair. Keep up the great work Ben!
Thanks Nicole for the donations. Xx😍
This may be my favourite egg! Beautiful!
I sooooooooo want a galaxy egg like the last one in the vid, that purple, pink and aqua are the color palette of my life it's so gorgeous.
WOW !!that just amazing so beautiful never seen anything like that using scrap material very interesting to watch ! Thanks from NZ
Random things to turn into eggs: String/threading/embroidery thread. Marbles. Crayons. Feathers. Glitter/confetti/Easter egg grass. Peeps. Flowers.
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.
I also think feathers would by really cool. Maybe plastic straws would work as well.
Very nice, creative work of art! And very sweet of your wife to help cut the fabric....I felt anxiety thinking about cutting all of them out.
Oh my gosh!!!! When I grow up I want to do what you do!! 💜
Fascinating to watch the process from start to egg . 🥚
so unique. That's the product of a very creative mind. I Love it.
Legos would be very cool. flowers would also be lovely. Awesome egg work
I’m quite impressed! Beautiful!
Seeing your site for the first time and WOW - very impressed by this egg. Will def check out your ETsy.
Thanks Susan
What about corn cobs? Use the coarsely ground ones--the chunks are about the size of peas. Mixed with resin would make an interesting visual texture.
i love that each layer isn't uniform, theres some fun irregularities that i like a lot!!!
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.
I’m a fashion designer so I understand how tedious cutting fabric can get. Using scissors that have not been used for any other purpose other than cutting fabric are best.

Tho I don’t think it’s worth buying if you are only going to use them once.
As a fabricaholic I love this use of extra fabric great job
this video is so wonderful and sweet! marvelous work and great voice over.
Turned a lot cooler than I would've ever thought. Nice job!
Absolutely stunning Ben
Wow. So beautiful. My grandmother would love something like this.
Your cinematography is really good! I really like the detail and storytelling.
Seriously original. Great job.
