Melanie Mcvicker Egg Art

Hand-carved and engraved egg shells, (hen, duck, goose, rhea & emu) also personalised christmas baubles and engraved pebbles.

I started decorating baubles just for a bit of fun & people seemed to like them!
The baubles are mostly 60mm matt finsh shatterproof plastic baubles, individually hand decorated. Mostly they are personalised but i can put funny things on them too!

I really love making the eggs, and hope that they will be popular all year round, as they make lovely keepsakes. I use a variety of eggs which have been 'blown' i. e. the yolk and white have been expelled via holes at either end of the shell. These are cleaned and bleached and then either dyed & engraved or carved using a micro-drill. It's a painstaking process and I'm still learning.

As for the stones, well, I've always loved picking up a well smoothed stone from some of our beautiful beaches & again, they make a nice little keepsake.
