Egg Art


What do you think these works are made of? The answer is Eggs! Can you believe it? When I watched it on TV for the first time, I couldn't believe! It's so beautiful, isn't it?
It is said that the egg art owes its origin to Russia. In the Romanof dynasty, Faberge, an artist of metal work, presented the monarch an oval jewelry case. It is the beginning of the egg art.
The eggs used for the egg art are not only chickens' eggs but also various birds' eggs. The biggest shell is ostrich's, and the smallest shell is quail's.
I really want to make an egg art, but the materials are quite expensive. So I can't try the art now.
