Personalized Hand-painted Real Eggshell Ornaments

I discovered the joy of egg painting and decorating in 1979 when Clara Lee, a friend and local egg artist gave me a decorated egg for Christmas. I was awed by it's beauty and intricate detail. Never did I think I could produce egg art so exquisite. With never ending patience, she taught me egg artistry techniques that we have improved on through the years.  In my first months of egg decorating,  Clara would ask me occasionally if I had dreamed about eggs yet.  When I could finally say "yes," she said, "ok, now you're hooked!" She was right.  

For many years, I sold through local retail stores and craft shows.  When I got brave enough to experiment with the internet, a small hobby grew into a 500 page website and the registered trademark name of Eggshell Magic. There are over 100 designs pictured on this site.

Although I work a full-time "real" job at a local college, egg painting is my passion.  I come home most every evening (and weekends) to "relax" in the egg room.  My husband and 3 dogs have learned to live around my "egg stuff."  Even my 3 grandchildren (ages 3, 3, and 5) have learned what they can and cannot touch in Nanny's egg room.

When time allows, I enjoy carving and embellishing eggs with figurines, rhinestones and trim to present as gifts to family and friends. An egg is a blank canvas that can be designed into anything a creative mind can dream up.

I am very honored that you have visited, and hope you find a design you like.  Please click the HOME icon on the left to see my complete gallery of ornaments.
