Our continuing search for the perfect holiday decoration leads me to the ornate works of Vivian Alexander. The Louisiana-based company creates intricate handcrafted egg ornaments. Their Christmas 2006 ornament is made of red and green enamel with silver ornamentation over a fine silver egg base. There are just 200 of these numbered pieces available and they are each handmarked 2006. According to
this article in the Daily Advertiser, three artisans create 12 ornaments per day while working on other eggs and designs and nearly six hours of work go into each ornament.
The heirloom ornament sells for $150.

Deidre;
The ever vigilent Google Watch led me to your blog and your article. I am the creator and owner of Vivian Alexander and the silver Christmas ornament in your comments.
If any of your readers want the background on the events that lead to the creation on these and other Vivian Alexander egg art I suggest they visit my web site. http://www.vivianalexander.com. The trip will be well worth the effort; you will see unique sculptures produced in the backwoods of Vermilion Parish (county), the heart of Acadiana.
You will be glad you did.
