New Studio Nearly Ready

I have nearly completed the move from the back of the house to the front. New tile had to be laid and some other modifications to make the room ready for carving as well as visitors to the studio. I am very much looking forward to completion so I can again satisfy my creative needs.

The Daughters Carving their Eggs

The top photo shows both girls and their new necklaces. The foundation of each necklace is a button quail eggshell. They created the egg art themselves using a kit we purchased at the International Egg Art Guild gathering held in Washington. The second photo is my younger daughter and the last photo is the older daughter. They are carving the parakeet egg shells you see in the previous post.

Carved Egg Shell Show at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center Ends Today

Due to the popularity of this exhibit at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center this show was extended for a second month. What an awesome show it was. I am very pleased to have brought such exposure to the Utah Cultural Celebration Center. I heard from many visitors that they had no knowledge of the Center until this show was put in place. We tied the final days of the exhibit to the Fiesta multi-cultural event which was held on the 39th of May. The main reason we tied the two together is the carved ostrich egg which West Valley City commissioned to help commemorate the shared event between our city and Boca del Rio, Vera Cruz, Mexico. Boca del Rio is our sister city. Here are some photos of the egg I carved for the event.
