< 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.

Bronze Award < Back John Drlik-Mead, USA July 22, 2024 Bronze Award CATEGORY: Artist's Choice PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Ostrich "Sacred Madonna” This is an original and completed design. I used multiple advanced techniques in creating this elegant and stunning piece. Flip the back toggle switch, the custom designed / made lighted crystal chandelier illuminates (with numerous flat back crystals, and hand cut drop crystals), and the music box plays "Wind Beneath My Wings. Special care and technique was used to “bury” the interior flat wiring (behind the Gold Leaf), from the base to the chandelier. The egg was first completely sanded to a uniform smooth surface (removing the outer egg enamel layer and texture). There are two intricately carved crosshatch windows (the crosshatch “bars” are part of the eggshell). The interior was layered with 24k Antiqued Gold Leaf (to mimic an aged gold ceiling). A combined 12 coat process, using a professional Auto-enamel pearlescent coating and clear coat was used on the exterior of the egg. All crystals are Swarovski Crystals. Findings, base & stand, top are all gold plated. The Porcelain figurine is hand painted and permanently mounted to the piece. Previous Next

< Back Hajnalka Aszalos EAI Representative for Hungary, MAP Judge I am Hajnalka Aszalós from Hungary. My mother learned porcelain painting from the best masters in Herend. I grew up in Szeged, and with my mother, who was also my Master, I got to know several areas of art and applied arts. It was here that I learned all the little tricks of this craft and the love of it. Over time, I started to work in several art forms: glass painting, oil paintings, graphics, wall painting, and then I started making lamps from thieves... Also, egg painting became a great love of mine over the years. The main stylistic direction in which I create is the Art Nouveau style, but I have also processed several Hungarian folk art motifs in my works. Now I live in Pásztó with my partner, and together with him we have created my own little workshop here, where I give a glimpse into the secrets of the workshop, as well as provide opportunities in several areas for visitors to make and create something beautiful with their own hands. We are currently working on my exhibition hall, which will hopefully be completed this year and will also be open to visitors.

< Back Fran Higgins MAP Director Hi! I am the current president of the Houston Egg Art Guild and will be one of the stewards of the Master Artisan Pathway "MAP".

Bronze Award < Back Tetiana Medianyk February 12, 2025 Bronze Award CATEGORY: Carved PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Ostrich To create the design I use carving, a special drill with different attachments for cutting and finally for polishing. The egg is placed on a stand with a LED lamp, multi-color with a remote control. This egg depicts Pegasus - a symbol of confidence, steadfastness and stateliness. The winged horse of the gods, which Zeus turned into a constellation after his death and we still see it flying across the sky. As a lamp, such an egg will complement the interior of any room, both a child's room and an adult bedroom, and can be a stylish addition to a business office. Previous Next

< Back Isabelle Franconie EAI Representative for France I've always been very hands-on, a DIY enthusiast, a jack-of-all-trades. I've always been fascinated by eggs, their shape, their material, their colors. A little water and warmth, and new life appears... When I was little, at Easter, my mother would boil chicken eggs and have me decorate and paint them. And then I forgot about school, work, time passed... In my life, I've had the opportunity to raise chickens, ducks, geese, and therefore to have many eggs at my disposal... and also many unhatched eggs... and memories resurfaced, memories of the possibility of using these eggs in other ways... The idea took root, a long, slow learning curve from scratch, images Gleaned from the internet, numerous attempts, and a lot of breaking too, first with goose eggs, which were easier to find and thinner, and then gradually moved on to ostrich eggs, which were larger, had a beautiful surface to work with, were beautiful materials, and had a beautiful color. And as for ostrich egg carving, my passion is above all sculpture, sculpting this shape, this material. And photos of me and my work. I hope this will be of interest to you. I'm not an expert, just an amateur who loves eggs and egg work and who continues to learn every day and marvel at the work of others, which is so much more beautiful than my own. I hope I can help you promote and discover egg carving in France. But people have forgotten, there isn't a large audience. I nevertheless suggest doing everything I can to help you discover it. Isabelle

Gold Award < Back Name Private December 1, 2023 Gold Award CATEGORY: Novelty PATHWAY: Accelerated TYPE OF EGGS: Emu,Quail,Goose “Bear in the Woods” 1. Bear. This is made from three types of eggs. Ears were carved and cut from an emu egg, head is a quail egg and the body is an unknown small egg. The head, body and ears were glued together with sculpy glue. Sculpy was added to the head and trunk to make the snout, belly, and back. This was baked at 275 degrees for 20 minutes. The arms and legs were made from wire wrapped with sculpy and attached. A layer of modeling paste was added to the bear and a high-speed drill was used to make the appearance of hair. The next step was a wash with dark brown on the body and a black wash around the eyes and nose. Different browns were also added to the bear’s coat. The final coat on the bear was a mixture of Pebeo lightening medium, a small amount of vitrail brown paint, and Jaquard antique gold bronze powder. Eyes were added and the bear was highlighted with 6 ss crystal smoked topaz and 5ss mocha flatbacks. 2. Bee hive. The quail egg was wrapped with 1mm pearl leather cording, washed with dark brown and coated with the above Pebeo mix. Yellow vitrail was used to make the honey dripping on the outside. 3. Stump. The mid-section from a goose egg was cutout. The top of the stump was a piece of cardboard glued in. Modeling paste was applied all over. The bark markings were made using a highspeed drill as well as the rings on top of the stump. Different brown/black washes were used to color the bark and top of the stump. The Peboe mixture as above was applied to the stump. 4. Various grasses, moss, weeds, and my cold porcelain flowers adorned the scene. The butterfly and bird were little things I did not make but thought they added a little color. Previous Next
