...before you have to look it in the eyes.

Inspired by abortion in general and my club's (#Animal-Love-Club) new contest theme, the horrors of the egg industry (Enter for a chance to win a 3 month subscription!)
-end of shameless contest promotion-

A strange double-concept, I suppose.

Anyhow, filling an egg with pins is not a normal way to spend one's Friday afternoon; but it was worth it all the same. And because I didn't want to waste eggs... I only allowed myself this one (so no mess-ups!). And it still wasn't completely wasted- the shell went to my "rescued lab snails" (/models) for calcium-building! :aww:

I ask myself that whenever I try to reproduce the shot (I've been wanting to get a decent egg-full-of-pins breaking high speed shot, but it's just proven impossible), because it almost always breaks! I guess I got very lucky and was very patient the first time. ;)

Great work, very sad concept. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to get the pins just right XD
