Victorian Lace Carved and Etched Egg of Your Own Design

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.

The light green color of the araucana chicken egg (shown in the second and third photos) reveals a much paler contrast than dark brown eggs do when etched. On the front oval of the green egg I added the dachshund as requested by a client.

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 4 to 6 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.
