Every Inchie Monday - Old

Hello you Monday people.  Today's challenge word is "old" and I think that's quite a difficult concept to put in a picture on a one inch square!  Especially in fabric and embroidery which is my favoured medium only because when I started I thought it would be a way of experimenting with different techniques!!  So now I'm committed and somehow a grandfather clock didn't suit my medium!!  So I was thinking and I came up with the oldest conundrum I know "Which came first - the chicken or the egg?!"  So I have tried to portray that - I had some material with small chickens on and tried to make a 3D egg!!  It's not exactly what I had thought it would look like but I had problems with the egg after I'd stitched it and pricked my finger and stared askance at a bloody egg!!! After a lot of sucking (the material I meant not the finger!!) I managed to get it to a colour that was egg like and I'm afraid I've gone with what I've got rather than start again!  However the idea I thought was good - maybe not such a good production of it!!  Oh well - you can't win them all!!  Have a happy Monday and don't forget to click this link at everyinchiemonday to see what other inchie makers have done!
