Item Description

You are bidding on a handmade piece of Eggshell Art.
This piece was amazingly created in 2012 mostly by Geetika's 12 year old daughter, Yashna.

Adorned with Swarovsky Crystals and Pearl lined with Rhinestone Chain, this design is carved from a large size Goose Eggshell and displays a miniature pee-wee duck egg decorated within!

Each of our pieces is individually hand-crafted to create an eye-catching unique collectible - a must have for any collection!

What started as a minor family hobby, has evolved into many hours of beautiful and exquisite creations of art.

We live in a very fast paced and developing world today. We are all driven by a desire to achieve and compete and often forget that above and beyond everything material, there is life beyond the four walls we confine ourselves to.

I believe that introducing art into a life helps develop a different kind of worldliness. You can create only if you can feel and sense the world around you. Every time we create a new design, we give ourselves the opportunity to observe and appreciate the nature, animals, plants and everything else so beautiful that we just never otherwise have the time for!

For children, egg crafting goes beyond the shell. This is a wonderful art medium with unlimited possibilities and young minds can achieve wonders beyond our own imagination.

I ask my daughters to look around them and then imagine what they want to recreate into their designs. It is amazing but kids can surprise us with their ideas. Taking on an especially delicate craft as this at a young age is I believe an excellent ground for building and promoting skills like patience, perseverance, dedication and commitment.
