Silver Award < Back Yuliya Goloida January 25, 2025 Silver Award CATEGORY: Pysanky Diaspora PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Goose This pysanka is a diasporan pysanka, designed and written by myself. The imagery is deeply personal and references meaningful and traditional objects from my Ukrainian wedding ceremony. The centre band down the middle of the egg features the pattern from the “rushnyk” or embroidered tapestry that was used during the ceremony and placed under the “Korovai” or wedding bread. The band on the pysanka features yellow flowers and intricate details of crosses and dots to represent the embroidery seen on the rushnyk. The front face of the egg includes the Korovai itself with the same intricate details as on my real Korovai such as grapes, two doves, wheat, rings, flowers, and berries. These traditional symbols on the Korovai represent wishes for the newlyweds: grapes=to be fertile and plentiful; wheat =prosperity and bounty; the rings= eternal union and the joining of two souls, doves= represent the newlywed couple; the flowers= beauty and happiness in life. The reverse face of the egg includes my wedding bouquet. A large and bountiful assortment of colourful flowers such as peonies, anemones, delphinium, dahlias and tiny chamomile of miniature daisy with a red ribbon tying it all together. Some special techniques employed in this pysanka design include spot dying to try and capture the depth of the floral bouquet with different botanical tones. There is also a gradient dying technique used to highlight and emphasize the bouquet with a saturated blue edge that also brings contrast to the decorative border. Previous Next

< Back Justyna Golen EAI Representative for Poland, MAP Judge I come from Poland. I like to do openwork Easter eggs in my free time. I am fascinated with the oval form, the fragility of the material and the symbolism of the egg. I drew my first inspirations from old patterns of openwork lace and embroidery. At first, I was interested in Venetian embroidery (richelieu), fillet , cross-stitch, and English embroidery. I like to transfer intricate patterns to an eggshell, no matter if it is a quail,chicken or goose. Later, I started carving on ostrich egg shells, where the thickness of the shell itself gave the possibility of relief and a three-dimensional effect. I love all Easter eggs, both traditional and all variations.

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

< Back Dr. Leslie Lisdell Founder, EAI President, Web Designer Hello Everyone! I have always loved eggshell art and have collected eggs for many years. A few years ago, I took a class at the Dallas Egg Art Show by Linda Martin. My daughter had graduated, and I had cut back on working full time as an Emergency Room physician so I finally had time to try something new.This was my first attempt at egg art and I did not even know what a rhea egg was! After the class, I started designing and making eggs. I participated in the old IEAG master program and passed the novice and intermediate diorama levels as well as the novice filigree level. Last Fall, after learning the IEAG was almost nonexistent, I formed the Arkansas Egg Art Guild. I then built the old IEAG , at their request, a new website as theirs had been taken down. That website was launched in January 2023, and is now the website for Egg Art International. I am so proud of all our team has accomplished in such a short time!
