New Eggs Carved While Daughter was Visiting

While my younger daughter was visiting this past week she chose to try her hand at carving an emu egg shell. This is her first effort. Also of note, I showed her which burs to use and she went from there on her own. She used a broken egg to practice on before attempting this project. The design is her own, The goose egg is also her work.

Goose egg carved in Relief

Here is my first attempt at carving a relief image on a goose egg shell. Obviously the images done in this fashion will be a very shallow relief. This is an African Violet plant very much stylized to take advantage of my love for piercing the shell.

A close-up is below to allow the relief to be seen a little easier.
