Yes, me too. CHRISTINE and IT were my most beloved King novels since my early teens :) And I also did a model about IT in 2017

I think the eggs are beautiful, that is exactly what I would imagine mythical creature eggs to look like. This is amazing. I think this would be a great lamp for the children's section of a library.

So happy someone spotted that detail! 😁

A guitar pick punch looks like it would be useful for creating the egg scales. That cutting looks super tedious and the pick punch can easily go thru heavy paper.

I started off thinking, "this is gonna look awful". Now it's "take my money!"

Thank you! It makes me very happy to hear that! I document all my projects to show people that building stuff isn't magic and maybe it will motivate one or two to try it themselves. At least that's how it started for me many years ago ;)

Hehe, thank you so much! And yes - you are absolutely right about the scales on the eggs. It's not logical at all when you think about it. But this is I think a classic case of the design principle that "effect sometimes trumps logic". The scales show at first glance that these are not normal eggs of normal animals, but eggs hatched in embers and fire - and are at the same time a clue to which animal we are talking about. I think that is the reason why this design is used so often. I personally liked it for the project because the scales give the eggs an additional interesting surface texture. Especially with the interior lighting they look a lot more interesting this way.
