PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SPECIAL ORDER. CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS AND FINALIZE THE DESIGN OF YOUR CHOICE PRIOR TO PURCHASING THIS EGG!!!
In most cases I will create a listing - reserved for you. It will be complete with photos of your custom egg and then, if it meets with your approval, you can easily click through the checkout to complete the purchase.

For this kind of egg decoration, I sketch my design on a clean blown egg shell and draw over the lines in wax. The portion of the egg to be carved is covered with beeswax and it is then placed in a chemical solution until the desired depth of etching is achieved. After removing the wax, I sketch and cut a design in the remaining colored portion of the eggshell.

Any simple element - a silhouette, an initial, date, or phrase - would make a nice design. Contact me with your ideas and I will provide a sketch for your approval. The finished piece will be available here in my etsy shop reserved for you!

To allow for variations in my schedule - especially during holiday seasons - please allow me up to 3 weeks to complete and prepare your order for shipping.

Each decorated egg is a wonder of nature, a rare and beautiful work of art. No two eggs are ever exactly alike.

Victorians, fond of ornamentation, decorated their eggs with snippets of daily life: trade cards, ribbons, beads, and bits of old lace. The eggs I create today echo these treasures. They are etched or carved in patterns reminiscent of fine Victorian needlework, and so I call these delicate works of art, Victorian Lace Eggs.®
