The art of egg decorating is an ancient tradition and universal symbol of life. Artists worldwide have used the egg as canvas for centuries.
Most of these eggs are selected on visits to local farms, they include :
Quail, chicken, goose, emu, rhea and ostrich, The design is determined based
upon its size and shape. The task of cutting, assembling and embellishing
results in precision-made works of fine craft.
An air drill is used for cutting or carving, several coats of acrylic paint are
applied as well as coats of lacquer to achieve the enamel look finish.
The painting & lacquer require about 2 hours to dry before the decoration
can be applied.

the time from the inside so it doesn't interfere with the design. The egg is
mounted on its stand as the final step. The complete work though fragile, will
be a lifetime keepsake.
