Hearts and Lace is a highly detailed egg I created for the Emerging Artist’s Show in Omaha.  It’s a filigree style egg with small wiggly designs covering the entire surface, except some areas where there are heart cutouts.  It was a fun egg to do, and I’m so pleased that it turned out exactly like I was hoping.  It has a natural finish.

This egg features a bee, which has buzzed its way around the entire surface of the egg, cartoon-style. It even managed to do a loop-the-loop! Bee is an ivory goose egg with tiny carvings.

When I began this egg, I wasn’t too pleased. I drilled the larger holes first and it ended up looking sort of like an avant garde saltshaker. Sadly, I wasn’t the only one who thought this. Pretty soon, I knew I had to do something extra. I took my smallest bit, which is about 3 times the width of a human hair, and drilled the smaller holes. Still, I didn’t know if I would like it. Finally, I decided to do bubbles around the holes that were gold, and the rest of the egg silver. Once I got the gold paint on, I realized (a little too late) that it would be VERY difficult to paint the rest of it silver. But fortunately, I also realized that I really liked the way it looked. It reminded me of fireworks at New Years. Hence, the name, Celebration.

Circles is a white goose egg with circular designs removed from it.  These circles are held together only by a shared edge here and there, and the design covers the entire egg.  Circles was one of the first carved pieces, and the inspiration for many other pieces.
