artist We have all seen decorated Easter eggs....but have you seen this? It is a mosaic portrait of the Virgin Mary made from 15,000 wooden eggs! I saw these ostrich eggs in Paris, carved and transformed into sconces! Traditional Easter eggs have come a long way in the art world. Brian Baity works in glass, wood, gourds and eggshells. His goose eggs are my favorite! I have created decorative eggs as well. These are wooden eggs in various sizes that I marbled using old bookbinding paper techniques. I hope you have decorated eggs for Easter and have a happy weekend!
Gold leafing finished, now it just needs to be varnished.
So today is Easter and all that jazz, and I thought how better to ring it in than with a little showcase of the joyfully quixotic world of egg artistry. It's a pastime that dates most famously back to 19th century House of Fabergé in Russia, but who can say how long mankind has been diddling with it's hard-boileds? Probably forever. Modern practitioners range from the humorous... (see more here) To the unbelievably intricate... (70-year old Slovenian artist Franc Grom has been drilling into shells for 18 years - see more here) To the deliriously kitsch and opulent.... (Fahra Sayeed is a "pioneer in promoting egg art in India". See more here) There's even an International Egg Art Guild, whose archive of annual "egg artisan" exhibitions I would highly recommend. And of course there's The Big Egg Hunt (presented by the fabulous Fabergé, naturally) going on all round London town as we speak. The point being - there is just so much bloomin' egg art out there which goes far beyond the usual Easter fare. Seems like we'll never be satisfied just to scramble 'em - so go get crackin' (apologies) and revel in the knowledge that to be human is to turn food into art, but never to consider it unnecessary.

Hello, dear friends! My name is Natalia and I’m Ukrainian Pysanky Master Artist with more than 20 years of experience. All pysanky here in my shop are made by me. If you have any questions, please, don't hesitate to ask, will be very happy to answer you! The word pysanka comes from Ukrainian word pysaty (to write in English), because they aren’t painted on, but written with beeswax. All of the pysanky have been emptied out, washed out and thermally processed. This Ukrainian Carved pysanka on Ostrich Egg with traditional old symbols is named infinity. There is a spiral design on this egg, which means endless life and progress, that's why I decided to name it infinity. Approximate size: 13 cm * 18 cm Shortly about the technology: Step 1. I draw with the pencil, then with wax as usual eggs. Step 2. Then put the egg in acid: the process of etching. Step 3. After this I make holes according to the design with mini drill. Ostrich Pysanka comes with egg stand and carefully packaged, so don’t worry about shipment.

The NUKI candle bowl is the latest member of the ART PIECE collection, based on Mette’s own ceramic craftings. This particular design is based on the Kurinuki technique, which is an old traditional Japanese pottery art, which implies hand-building and carving from a single block of clay. The bowl comes with a black metal insert for four candles, which is perfect in the bowl for Christmas and Easter decorations. At Christmas time, the candleholder can be used as an Advent decoration with pine cones, branches and other festive Christmas items in the bowl, and for Easter, the candleholder will be beautiful as a table centrepiece with colourful Easter eggs. Throughout the year, the bowl will be a beautiful item to enhance your interior styling. Like the other items of the ART PIECE collection, NUKI is based on Mette Ditmer's own, hand-shaped clay creations. The pieces are reproduced in stone resin, which is a composite material far less fragile than ceramic. Thus, the works of art can withstand everyday use. Each product is finished by hand, and will therefore always appear slightly different from the next piece, which further contributes to the unique expression of each product. The bowl is not food safe.Size: W22 x L22 x H9,5 cmMaterial: Stone resin, metalCare instructions: Wash by hand or use a damp cloth. We recommend alm. dishwashing liquid. The product is not suitable for the dishwasher.
