Delivery time: | Item is In Studio; we will contact you shortly to arrange for pickup (or contact the artist directly to arrange for shipping) |
This little ornament is made of a chicken egg shell. The covering is a cotton fabric.
In the inside back of the egg shell is a picture of the Grateful Dead dancing bear. In front of the picture is a little motorcycle. On the back of the egg is a styalized picture of Jerry. The egg isn't as delicate as you may think. It has layers of glue and fabric plus the "diamond dust" covering the background.
I can make a custom egg for you including a name and date. We can converse on the "conversations."

“My eggs have held places of honor in my holiday decorations since I received them....
(about 45 years ago). Honestly I'm shocked they all survived this long, but I'm so glad they did!”

*I started making “Faberge” eggs in North Carolina in 1972 while my husband was stationed at Pope Air Force base. Eggery in the south was big back then. I learned to hinge duck eggs, with doors, and put music boxes inside. I even made a couple of Ostrich egg clocks. What I loved making most were the little chicken eggs covered with fabric and little scenes inside. When I moved to the Monterey Peninsula I sold my eggs at a Christmas store in Carmel and at The La Playa Hotel Christmas show where Maggie Eastwood (Clint’s wife) bought personalized egg ornaments for their children.
I stopped making eggs as life went on, but always kept a supply of miniatures. In 2014 I brought out my supplies and made a batch for Artistic Portland, a Co-op store for artists in Portland Oregon.
