The giving of decorated eggs has been an important tradition in the Old World for many years. The Egg, symbolizing the source of life, is given to express the love and friendship that lies deep in the heart of the giver. We buy our eggs at Brock Egg Farm in Cullman, AL. Each egg is hand blown then cleaned in a solution of bleach & Water for a thorough cleaning of all bacteria. After the cleaning process the eggs are painted and glittered, then brush coated many times with a water based protective coating to give the glitter depth. then the eggs are hand painted and brush coated with more coats to give the painting depth. The top and bottom filigrees are added and the string is threaded. This process takes approximately three days from start to finish and makes each ornament unique. No two Eggsquisite Egg ornaments are the same die to egg shape and the hand painted designs. Colors and shades will vary as well as size and accent touches. Designs are continuously evolving which also gives each egg and year it was produced an originality all its own. This is not a mass production item, this is a uniquely crafted individual work of art. |
