Japanese Lattice

Once again I must apologize about the
quality of this photo... ye olde 35mm
coming back to haunt me. This was among
the first eggs I ever cut and I really fell in
love with it. I had been studying some art
books about the Far East the night before I
did this egg. During the night I had visions
of paper lanterns, the way flowers have
been depicted in the Far East for millennia
and the fragility of a Japanese garden. The
design for this egg came from the
combination of those images. Sadly, I was
dusting one day and it slipped a tiny bit on
its stand, which caused a small crack. I
don't sell broken eggs, but I'd love to do a
new one just for you.
