Re: Royal Faberge
I haven't got any pictures now, but my Mum used to mimic the Faberge decorated eggs.She did it for years and sold them at various craft outlets. She used work out he design she wanted to do, then Dad used to cut the empty egg shells with a special little saw. Some would open in two halves, some had little tiny doors in them - all sorts. Then Mum would start the decorating of them.
She did all sorts and sizes of eggs from her tortoise eggs to great big Ostrich eggs and even Emu eggs, which are a dark green colour shell.
