Aussie Eggshell Carvers

Eggshell Sculpture
 
by Lorna Winch

2009 Exchange Egg

Lorna's latest reverse relief carving was her exchange egg which she sent to Lyn Williams.
As Lyn had lost both of her Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Lorna felt this would be a fitting tribute.
Using a second ostrich egg she also carved a special lighted base to display the dogs. 

The holly around the border was hand drawn by Lorna and coloured with powdered chalks.

"The Little Don"
A rhea egg is about the same size as an emu egg - this one measures 5½" from top to bottom
and has a circumference of  13½". The shell is less than 1 mm thick.
