Mosaic "Broken Heart"

Mosaic painting made from eggshells


This master class is on the unusual use of eggshells as a mosaic. Anyone can find material for this type of creativity, and by giving a second life to the shell and using your imagination, you can create spectacular and unusual things. In this master class we will create an easy and simple “Broken Heart” mosaic, so let’s get started.
We will need:
- eggshell;
- paints of orange, red, yellow, green, blue and purple;
- PVA glue,
- a sheet of white cardboard;
- primer and craquelure varnish - if possible.
1. Wash the eggshells, remove the inner film and place them in a 5% soda solution for 5 minutes.

2. When the eggshell is thoroughly dry, paint the first shell with green paint, the second with purple, the third with red, the fourth with yellow, the fifth with blue and the sixth with orange.

3. Cut a 10*15 cm rectangle from cardboard (the size can be arbitrary), prime it with white paint.

4. When the primed cardboard is dry, draw a heart template with a simple pencil.

5. Take a purple shell, crumble it into small pieces in your hands, coat each piece with PVA glue and begin laying out the mosaic.

6. Lay out the shells in small pieces as close to each other as possible. To create the effect of a broken heart, glue several pieces of glue randomly at the bottom of the template.

7. Lay out the next layer of blue shells, also crushing them into small pieces and gluing them into the template using PVA glue.

8. We do the same with the green shell, gradually filling the heart with a mosaic.

10. We finish filling our heart with a mosaic of red and orange.

11. We do not fill the upper left part of the heart completely, creating the effect of floating fragments.

12. Let’s give the work a blue background by revealing the mosaic-free part.

13. In this example, the left side of the background differs from the right in its texture. This effect was achieved thanks to craquelure varnish.

14. Using a thin brush, paint the left side of our mosaic heart in places where there is no mosaic.
