Artist Reveals the Best Thing To Do With Your Ostrich Eggs #handmade

Your house is cluttered with eggshells. Well, this artist reveals the best thing to do with your ostrich eggs. Bobbie Unsworth is an egger. That means she has a serious thing for eggshells. Egg decorating is an ancient art that dates back to Egypt, Greece and China. Eggs were believed to be magic. A blessed egg could heal you or just sooth your worried mind. Bobbie appreciates the origins of decorative eggs but she does it because they are beautiful. Her creations are somewhere between Fabergé eggs and Disney’s Cinderella. Her home in Rome, Georgia is filled with fantasy, captured on eggshells. Chicken eggs were too ordinary and fragile so she quickly moved to ostrich, emu, goose and black swan eggs. Bobbie’s hidden secret is she doesn’t even eat eggs. Her creations are hatched from her imagination. Then she cuts, carves and places braiding and hundreds of tiny beads and gems to being them to life. Fairy scenes, ornate carriages and even a tiny Taj Mahal emerge from the eggshells. Her most popular art are jewelry boxes … lined with velvet and decorated with Austrian Stones. “I want the boxes to be as beautiful as the jewelry inside,” she told me. Bobbie Unsworth creates egg-traordinary, egg-ceptional egg art. This story aired on WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News in 1976.
