"Wolf Family Emu Egg on Burlwood"

This is a sterile emu egg with a hand oil-painted background.
When dry, I placed the figurines inside with all kinds of dried natural
around it to give it a woodsy look.  I then glued the egg onto a dried piece
of burlwood, adding moss and dried lichen here and there to bring the
natural look all together.

"Pink and Silver Angel"

This egg has an oval and then a diamond shape cut out of each side. The inside of the egg is pink and the outside silver. I have hung a blown glass angel inside to reflect the light. The base is actually a silver napkin ring (I like to use the unexpected for bases.

"Eagle Hideaway"

Emu egg painted a soft light ivory. Inside the egg, painted pale sky blue, small twigs form the eagle's nest filled with molded eggs. Individually formed and applied autumn leaves and the raised twig pattern give a feeling of autumn high atop a mountain. A golden eagle medallion graces the back of the egg.
