Carved and Sculpted Eggs
Filed under: Decor
Forgo those cheap
plastic eggs that seem to be overflowing supermarket shelves in the weeks before Easter and satisfy your craving for
the seasonal egg-shapes with something that will last. Real eggs of various sizes can be carved and sculpted into a
variety of surprising shapes and astonishingly beautiful patterns. Ron Cheruka, the "Egg Man", has been doing egg art for many years and uses
modified dental tools with carbide and diamond bits to hand cut every egg that he makes. He uses ostrich, rhea, emu and standard eggs in his work. The emu eggs are visually
stunning due to the natural pigments in the shells, which range from teal to black, but the nearly cantaloupe-sized
ostrich eggs are the most spectacular. Their thick shells allow for the most detailed carvings, like the dragon
pictured here, and the finished egg resembles polished ivory. Dragon Egg Price: $500.
