< Back Konomi Kashiwaya EAI Representative for Japan, MAP Judge Because of my 40 years of bread dough flower making, I especially love to make dioramas out of bread dough, creating plants, animals, and fairies. I also love beads, thread, decoupage, painting and cutting. I participated in egg shows in the US every year for 20 years. I have also exhibited eggs in Paris, Australia and Russia. I have been participating in the Japanese Egg Art Guild since the first year it was established, and it has been a little over 20 years now. I exhibit with my students at the Japan Egg Art Guild Show every year. I also have private exhibitions several times a year. I recently published a book about my egg art works.

< Back Beth McPherson EAI Representative for New Zealand I’m Beth McPherson from Christchurch New Zealand. I have been creating and decorating eggs since 2008 after joining the Christchurch Egg Artistry Club. I especially love working with chicken and smaller eggs like quail and finch eggs. My other interest is making my own face and body products and I’m currently studying Organic Skincare Formulations with the view to developing it further in the future I am married with three children and 5 lovely grandchildren. I look forward to being able to help EAI and egg artists where I can.

< Back Linda Martin Co-Founder, EAI Secretary, Director of International Relations, EAI Representative for the UK As someone who loves trying different styles of work, I find my inspiration in so many places. Despite having been involved in egg art for almost 40 years, I am still learning so much and my initial training as a teacher means that I am passionate about passing on knowledge and skills to as many people as possible. I have run a supplies business for many years and write books, patterns, produce videos and teach as often as possible and I have also judged internationally. For the last ten years, I have written a quarterly magazine ‘The Art of the Egg Shell’ passing on even more information through this and my Facebook groups. As a result of my constantly evolving involvement in egg art, I feel privileged to class some of the most talented and lovely egg artists around the world as my friends. I am honoured to have been approached to become a member of the Team for Egg Art International and will do my utmost to help in any way I can to make this organisation a truly international body providing support and encouragement for egg artists everywhere and creating a greater awareness of egg art and the artists who work within its constantly developing areas.

Gold Award < Back Rebekah Brown, USA September 10, 2024 Gold Award CATEGORY: Carved PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Emu This carved Emu eggshell is titled “Roses through the Windowpane”. The eggshell was carved using a NSK Presto II air driven handpiece, with burrs measuring 1/16th inches in diameter. I primarily used diamond burrs for the relief carving portion (the shape being several size balls, footballs and wheel) and switched to a straight carbide for the cut-outs. For the lay-out portion, I used thin washi tape to get the correct proportions, and then clear transfer sticker paper for the roses. The eggshell stand is Sapele wood and finished with beeswax. I turned the stand on a wood lathe from a 4x4x4 inch block. The inspiration for this pattern came to my mind after reading the book, “The Secret Garden”, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Roses hold special meaning in the book, and the window shapes are based on a Tudor style diamond lattice window. I don’t know that any special techniques were used, except to be careful and gentle with the piece. nes I have made up in my mind. Previous Next

See beautiful examples of diorama egg art. See examples from the Master Artisan Pathway ,the old IEAG Master eggs and other excellent examples of this style. Category Spotlight: Diorama Egg Art The main focus of the design will be a scene that is created within the egg; however, this can also extend around the egg. The level of detail included will be assessed, however the exterior of the egg will also be looked at in detail. Any items made by the artist should be mentioned as this will be of benefit in the assessment. The usual criteria of a well-balanced and tasteful design will also apply.
