When you were a child in art class did you blow the yolk out of an egg to leave an empty shell and then decorate the outer shell? I remember that I tried and I just kept breaking the egg shell. I don’t think I would have much better luck today either. Gary LeMaster doesn’t have that problem…he’s a world famous egg carver. Using real eggs (ostrich, rhea, emu, goose), a variety of diamond and carbide cutting tools, and eventually three or four coats of lacquer, he produces breathtaking eggs.
Maybe I love eggs because it is the beginning of all things…or was it the chicken?

These are very beautiful! I just love them! You did this in art class? That is so cool! I tried it when my dad was a chicken farmer when I was in 6th or 7th grade : ) Of course mine did not look like that! And, if I remember correctly, I got in trouble for wasting eggs.

Thank you so much for visiting us. Egg carving has always amazed me. Two things you would have to have patience and be extremly gentle. Both are a mega problem for me, lol.
Congratulations to you on being nominated as well. What a fabulous group to be in.
Love your blog there is so much neat stuff here! Will be back ๐

Don't they say everytime you eat an egg, a chicken is aborted? Well – i think that is hogwash and wrong. I too love eggs and these are definately the coolest eggs ever.
