About Eggstra Special 

Virgi started making egg art while living in Japan from 1985-1989.  The first egg created were Japanese paper covered eggs called "Washi", which were published in the December 1999 issue of Sunset Magazine.

"Throughout the years I have admired the Faberge collection and now I carve my eggshells into fine works of art.  I make jewelry boxes out of eggshells, a wonderful ornate Cinderella's Coach using an Ostrich egg, Swarovski crystals and hand blown glass horses.  I also make trademarked and license sport team goose egg ornaments, ornaments upon the thousand different designs in my studio.  I also create one of kind creations out of every egg possible.  It is a wonder to the eye.

I offer the finest in Faberge style eggs.  I use only the finest and cleanest eggs from ranches around the country. Turning these magnificent wonders into works of art.  I have finished designs and supplies for the do-it-yourselfer.  I sell Goose, Hen, Ostrich, Emu, Rhea, Finch, Quail, Parakeet, Tinnamou, Pigeon, Pheasant, Duck, Peafowl, Swan and Cassowary."
