WOW! I'm just about speechless (but NOT quite)!! What a rare talent you have my friend. Obviously, carpel tunnel is not a malady you've had to contend with!! These are beautiful works of art - OH, and please do share more, lots more!!!
I have tutorials available like a web site. From A to Z including what tools to use, safety and how to set up your work area. Also included are links as to where to buy the materials and the eggshells. If you ever need it and like to try, let me know.
Yes they can be carved with a fine hand held dental tool used in the lab to work on dentures. The only thing one has to watch out for is the fine dust it creates, especially when using diamond burrs. I use an air cleaner next to me to take care of this. Wouldn't attempt it without one.
Hi Becky, talent is not just in the art metier, each of us has a talent and in different areas. Some are more admired than others. If we all would be talented in the same way, the world would be boring as heck.
Oh my god where did you lear to do this - they are absolutly amazing! Do you sell these -- I love the fantisy genre - And oriental too.... They would make great gifts -- Please tell me more ........
I didn't learn this, I just did it. I wanted a power carver to do some engraving on glass. I have done glass custom glass work. While looking through the website where I wanted to order the power carver from, I run across my first look at egg carving. One day I decided to just try carving an ostrich egg. The Blackfoot Indian on Horse back above is my first carving. Yes, I sell those eggs and I do custom work. The wolfs is custom work and others I have not posted as well. Captain Sparrow is sold and so are the raccoons.
Not really impossible. An ostrich eggshell is about 1/8" thick more or less and I have the tools to do it with. It's sturdy too, like a plate or cup. I know it looks fragile but really isn't. I have shipped those carved eggs and they arrived in top shape.
I, too, have the Presto Nsk, I hand engrave mostly glass. I am unable to view your website. Would you email me with a link when it is up & running, please? Thank you
WOW Carla! to simply put it, these are some of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen! You are very gifted =) do you have an Etsy store by chance?
