Gold Award < Back John Drlik-Mead, USA March 19, 2024 Gold Award CATEGORY: Carved PATHWAY: Accelerated TYPE OF EGGS: Ostrich Authentic Ostrich Egg, with an original abstract spiral cut design, showcasing the intricately carved Giraffe Stippled Lattice design. The egg top and bottom are accented with a circular area that is stippled. A portion of the spiral cutout is stippled and mounted to the egg design bottom, appearing to seemingly float in supporting the egg. The egg is supported by a smokey translucent Flame-Glass cylinder and Mounted to a 4”x4”x2” Black Onyx Marble base. The egg was finished with 3 coats of Shop-Line 2x matte automobile clear coat finish. Due to the dark base & glass cylinder color, a neutral background color was used in the pictures to profile the art piece detail in its entirety. I used the SCM 400XS High Speed carver, with a variety of burrs, (surgical fissure, and other carbide burrs, diamond burrs). Previous Next

< 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.

Silver Award < Back Morgan Tunow July 29, 2026 Silver Award CATEGORY: Pysanky/Diaspora PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Brown Chicken egg This avtorsky pysanka was written for artist Brianna LaPlante of Fishing Lake First Nation in Saskatchewan (Treaty 4), whose work and collaboration with Ukrainian newcomer Andrian Makhnachov deeply moved and inspired me. Together, they created a kokum scarf design - a floral scarf tradition deeply connected to Métis and Indigenous prairie communities. Floral scarves became established on the Canadian prairie through Ukrainian and other Eastern European settlement and, through trade, friendship, and cultural exchange, came to be embraced by many Indigenous communities as enduring symbols of grandmothers, resilience, and cultural continuity. Canada’s prairie provinces have been home to one of the world’s largest Ukrainian diaspora communities since the late nineteenth century. Brianna and Andrian’s collaboration reflects a relationship that continues to evolve today, celebrating both Indigenous and Ukrainian cultures through prairie florals while acknowledging a shared prairie history. Brianna’s scarf design incorporates flowers connected to Treaty 4 territory, while in this pysanka I chose flowers from Treaty 7, where I live in southern Alberta. Many of these flowers also exist and hold symbolic meaning within Ukrainian pysanky and folk traditions, creating another point of connection across cultures, landscapes, and generations. To me, this egg reflects the relationships between First Nations communities and generations of Ukrainian settlers, their descendants, and today’s newcomers on the Canadian prairies. Over more than a century, Ukrainians arrived on the Canadian prairies in successive waves, each carrying histories shaped by empire, famine, war, displacement, and perseverance. Throughout that same history, Indigenous peoples here continued to endure the ongoing realities of colonialism and dispossession. Despite these difficult histories, there were also moments of exchange, neighborliness, shared knowledge, and mutual influence that became woven into prairie life. In this pysanka, I wanted to honour that spirit of connection through prairie flowers, sunflowers, movement, and traditional symbolism, reflecting the idea of cultures, stories, and relationships continuing to grow alongside one another across generations. FLOWERS Sunflower The sunflower is one of the central symbols in this pysanka, representing warmth, life, resilience, and continuity. In Ukrainian tradition, sunflowers are strongly associated with the sun itself, abundance, and protection, while on the Canadian prairies they have also become a symbol of Ukrainian identity, migration, and endurance. Here, they also reflect the shared prairie landscape connecting Treaty 4 and Treaty 7 territories. Wild Rose Wild roses appear throughout the design as symbols of love, vitality, and relationships. As Alberta’s provincial flower, they connect this egg specifically to Treaty 7 territory and the prairie landscape where I live. Roses and flowering motifs are also deeply rooted within Ukrainian pysanky and folk embroidery traditions, where they often represent beauty, renewal, and the feminine principle. Rose Hips Rose hips symbolize protection, healing, endurance, and nourishment. In both prairie and Ukrainian traditions, they carry associations with survival through difficult seasons and the ability to sustain life and community. Crocus The crocus, one of the first flowers to emerge after winter on the prairies, represents renewal, hope, and resilience. It reflects survival after hardship and the return of life following darkness or dormancy. Its appearance in this pysanka also speaks to cultural continuity across generations. Sage represents cleansing, wisdom, grounding, and spiritual protection. Across many cultures and traditions, including Indigenous traditions of the prairies, sage carries deep spiritual significance connected to healing and purification. Within this pysanka, it symbolizes respect, reflection, and the importance of approaching cultural exchange with care and sincerity. Yarrow is associated with healing, protection, interconnectedness, and the strengthening of community bonds. Traditionally used medicinally across many cultures, it reflects the idea of knowledge passed between generations and the sustaining relationships formed through shared experience and care. Blanket Flower Blanket flowers symbolize endurance, adaptability, warmth, and the ability to thrive in harsh environments. Their bright, sun-like appearance reinforces themes of resilience, survival, and beauty rooted within the prairie landscape. Traditional Symbols * 8-part division: Balance, harmony, order, and the cyclical nature of life. * Rozha (ruszha): Ancient sun symbol representing life, growth, beauty, harmony, and spiritual light. * Hidden sun/spider motif: Life, warmth, creativity, protection, patience, and artistry. * Eternity bands: Eternity, continuity, and the unbroken passage of generations. * Bezkonechnyk (meander / waves): Water, movement, journeys, protection, and the ongoing flow of life. The endless line symbolizes continuity and is traditionally associated with pathways so winding that evil cannot find its way from them. * Sieve pattern: Protection and the separation of good from harmful forces. * Dots: Seeds, stars, blessings, abundance, and life-giving energy. Traditional Colors * Red / orange: Joy, vitality, passion, strength, and love. * Yellow /gold: The sun, warmth, harvest, prosperity, and light. * Black: Eternity, endurance, remembrance, and connection to the spiritual world. * White: Purity, light, innocence, and spiritual clarity. * Green: Spring, renewal, growth, hope, and new life. * Brown: Earth, stability, humility, and connection to the land. Contemporary Colours * Blue: Sky, water, spirituality, health, calm, and emotional depth. * Turquoise / teal: Healing, openness, connection, and balance. * Purple / violet: Spirituality, wisdom, mystery, and transformation. * Pink: Affection, tenderness, friendship, and care. Method Written with kistky and beeswax, then dyed and selectively acid etched. Previous Next

< Back Jovica Mirosavic EAI Representative for Serbia My passion for this beautiful and delicate art began 13 years ago with my first encounter. It was love at first sight when I saw artistically carved eggshells. Besides my love for carving, I also greatly enjoy creating new clichés for my works. I find inspiration mostly in nature and its diverse variations. Additionally, I love to share my knowledge and skills with aspiring artists or those looking to improve in this field. I've managed to devise and realize the production of a special tool, of which I am very proud, greatly facilitating work and which was a dream of mine when I began my artistic career. I enjoy incorporating special lighting into my carved sculptures, which further emphasizes the work and adds a new dimension and effect to my artistic expression. When carving my pieces, my aim is to infuse them with a serene and beautiful energy that, upon completion, transports the viewer into an extraordinary world of harmony, calming and relaxing them, inducing a meditative state of mind. I love challenges, constantly striving for improvement, and reaching towards new creative horizons
