I've been working on putting together a custom order, and thought I would share the necklace I just finished, based off of a chicken egg I did previously with the same design:


It can be found in the jewelry gallery with all the other necklaces.

I currently seem to be in a necklace mood, so expect to see some new eggs over the next few weeks, in both old and new designs.

Good morning! Well, my interview last month resulted in a tiny plug for my work in the June edition of the Indianapolis Monthly which just came out yesterday. Very exciting. Apparently good things are coming of it, as I've already gotten an order and will have to part with two of my favorite ostrich eggs.

For anyone new reading this post who might have found their way from the magazine, please keep in mind that I am more than happy to create unique custom eggs or recreate any of the eggs in my gallery that I have made before. Just because you don't see what you want on the For Sale page doesn't mean I can't make one for you, usually in a week or less (depending, of course, on the size of the egg). Just send me an email and let me know what you have in mind. Anyway, to anyone new, welcome, and enjoy the site!

Good morning everyone! As you can see, I am happy that it is Friday. Nothing too new or exciting to announce on the egg front. I've finished the two quail egg necklaces I was working on, and now I need to get around to adding them to the For Sale page.

It is interesting (and sometimes vastly enraging, but mostly just interesting) to see how you can never exactly duplicate an egg you've done before. Those two quail egg necklaces are two of my favorite designs that I have reproduced many times before, but they never look quite the same. Sometimes the dye takes to the shell in a different shade, sometimes the design doesn't come out quite the same, or fits the shell differently. Sometimes the quail eggs will develop magnificent cracks down them (this is due to the plaster inside the shell expanding slightly as it hardens). The cracks do nothing to weaken the shell or harm it as it is still plaster filled and coated with a thick varnish, but they can still change the way the finished egg looks. For these reasons I can never use the same picture from a previous egg with the same design, which might to some extent explain my laziness in updating the page. ^_^

In other news, I did a short interview for a local magazine recently. If the article actually makes it into the magazine, I'll post the link here for you all to see. Should be exciting.

Lately the majority of my free time has been spent drawing comics (which I am woefully behind on, but catching up!), hence the lack of new eggs. As our readership at the comic expands, I've found there is a neverending list of things to get done, from drawing new strips to updating and expanding the website. On the plus side it is a lot of fun and very exciting to be working on. But fear not, I'm not giving up on eggs, just juggling too many things at once!

Unfortunately, nothing new and exciting to report. Those two quail egg necklaces that were almost done a few weeks ago are still in the same stage of almost done-ness. I've been working on quite a few other projects lately, but I will get those necklaces posted soon, I promise! Also another Northwest Coast rhea egg in the works, coming soon.

In other news, I opened up a shop on Etsy, just for kicks. Nothing you can buy there that you can't buy here, but hopefully it'll help me get some exposure.
