Eggstra Special Art



Incredible egg art created by stacking eggs.

This butterfly jewelry box was created using an Emu egg that measures about 5 1/2″ tall and 10 1/2″ around the fattest circumference. The egg has a beautiful horizontal straight cut and opens to reveal a fabric lining and an inside area that can hold quite a bit of jewelry.

Emu eggs are unique in that they are actually three layers of color. The innermost is white, then there is a lovely teal or light green, finally a dark green coat. As the artist carves into the layers, he reveals these colors and utilizes them to give depth to his work.

This carved emu egg is completely lacelike with all holes in the shape of stars. The stars are different sizes and use two layers of color, teal and the dark green outer layer.

This Emu egg was sculpted and engraved using the three layers of the shell.

The artist has utilized all three layers of color in this underwater scene featuring three Walleyes [left]. This undersea view of two dolphins utilizes all three colors of the Emu eggshell [right].

    Eggsellent!

    Makes one wonder though, how does one get into making a living in egg art? I’m assuming that a living is being made considering the time that must be involved. :)
    Thanks for this eggstensive collection of photos!

    Hope to see you in Boardman Country!
