      Such a lovely egg, all the work that went into making it! I definitely see a peacock design, the brown bird head & sort of diamond shapes throughout, and esp the teardrop "eyes" - a very creative piece

      It looks absolutely exquisite! I agree with Jenni about the amount of work that went into creating it! It's probably also therapeutic, the process of making something like this.
