Friday Egg: Invisible Ink

An etched goose egg, the design revealed in relief rather than color. Simple and elegant.

Happy Friday!

Friday Egg: Apricot

This week I am showing a brown chicken eggshell etched and then dyed in these delicious orange and apricot colors.  This one found a new home at the East Austin Studio Tour last month, so this is a goodbye post! 

Happy Friday and Happy Holidays!

Friday Egg: Gold Leaf

Another golden egg: This time it is an etched goose egg done in a ferny leaf pattern and then covered in sheets of 23.5K gold. So I called it Gold Leaf! Too obvious? Probably, but I could think of no other name once I thought of that one. I like that small bits of the white eggshell underneath peak out from between the leaves, the same way the sun might filter through a shady grove of trees.

As with any of my works, this piece is available through Camiba Art Gallery

Happy Friday!
