Four Cockatoos are posing in their natural surroundings. Their pristine white plumage with the distinctive yellow crown stands out from the deep greens of the rainforest. The egg is permanently mounted on a brown wood stand with a carved wood decorative circle support for the egg.
My egg creations make unique gifts for the one who has everything, or for you!
I've painted ostrich eggs for 30+ years. My artwork is original, freehand designs using acrylic paints - no decoupage or stickers. Glazing, blending and a focus on detail adds depth to produce realistic representations. Completed artwork is protected with three coats of polyurethane varnish to give a glass-like shine and durable finish. To clean deals, use a soft, slightly damp cloth, as needed.
Ostrich eggshells are the largest and thickest shell in the world and averages about 15"" in diameter, 6"" high and 1/16"" thick. One ostrich egg is equal to approximately 24 chicken eggs and can withstand the weight of a 300-pound bird sitting on them. But don't worry.... no baby ostriches are hurt for my eggs. My supplier uses infertile eggs. They are drained through a hole in the bottom, cleaned, sanitized, and ready to paint!
