  • How beautiful. I truly believe that these eggs surpass the glitz of the Faberge style - in part because of the translucent whiteness of the eggshell.
    Read more

  • I forgot to mention that this effect (though not in such delicate detail) can also be created using beeswax as a caustic (masking the areas you want to keep solid) and then leaving the egg in vinegar, which corrodes the shell. The shell becomes very then and you can essentially scrape it away with a finely pointed knife...

  • It's Beautiful!! It's impressive!!Great...A lot of time I dont see a work/art as beautiful as your Eggs!!! Sorry, my English it's bad because I'm Brasilian!! But your work is Great!!! Where are you from???

  • Ligia,
    Glad you like it! We are based in Canada.

  • Absolutely exquisite. I'm Ukrainian on my mother's side. These works of art remind me of the painstaking traditional egg-decorating engaged in by that community. A fiddly business involving layers of color & melted beeswax to cover the areas one didn't wish to dye.

  • What kind of animal is that between the meerkat and the ermine?
    Read more

  • Looks like a wombat to me. Also, being rather pedantic, 'ermine' isn't a name of an animal. It's a word for the white winter coat of the stoat, a very mysterious and little understood animal indeed.

  • Its a tree kangaroo. They live in the forests of Australia and New Guinea, and they are soooo cute
