Eggs

from 1984

    I guess I have been interested in miniatures for a long time, and I've always been creating things.

    I picked up eggery as a hobby in 1984, the summer my grandmother passed away. She had always been a creative person, and making these eggs was a hobby of hers. I got interested by going through her supplies and books when we went through her house to sell everything.

    I haven't really touched this hobby since that summer, but I still have some of the eggs. Most are a little broken. Some had music boxes in them. All have tiny little hinges where they open up to reveal a surprise inside.

    I did get to see an exhibit in Cleveland of the real eggs by Faberge for the Czar's family. THat was pretty neat.
