Somehow, after stumbling into a job as an artist's assistant, I've also stumbled onto what may become my career. I've been doing egg art for a few years now, and I've been given the opportunity of showing them in my boss's studio. Beyond that, I've also landed a spot in an art show.
It's a little unnerving. I've never pursued this as a career because I never considered myself very good at art. I can't draw a bloody stick figure properly! And yet, it seems like, for now at least, this is what I'm supposed to be doing.
Here's some pics:
The first is of a spiral cut egg. This is the most unstable one I've ever done, and it's a miracle I finished it. Unfortunately, I broke it while I was painting it. Not entirely unexpected for this one. I've repaired it, but I'm keeping it for myself.
The second one is one that I gave my boss. It's pink with a fleur de lis symbol, and a charm at the bottom.
The third is called ribbons. I just wrapped it up today, but I have no finished pics yet.
