< Back Jovica Mirosavic EAI Representative for Serbia My passion for this beautiful and delicate art began 13 years ago with my first encounter. It was love at first sight when I saw artistically carved eggshells. Besides my love for carving, I also greatly enjoy creating new clichés for my works. I find inspiration mostly in nature and its diverse variations. Additionally, I love to share my knowledge and skills with aspiring artists or those looking to improve in this field. I've managed to devise and realize the production of a special tool, of which I am very proud, greatly facilitating work and which was a dream of mine when I began my artistic career. I enjoy incorporating special lighting into my carved sculptures, which further emphasizes the work and adds a new dimension and effect to my artistic expression. When carving my pieces, my aim is to infuse them with a serene and beautiful energy that, upon completion, transports the viewer into an extraordinary world of harmony, calming and relaxing them, inducing a meditative state of mind. I love challenges, constantly striving for improvement, and reaching towards new creative horizons

< Back Susan Shipka L.P.N Egg of the Month Coordinator As nurse of 38 years, working in the Boston area, I love a good challenge. I went to Sophie Chetwynds house with my mom after she saw Sophie on Boston’s Chronicle which featured her egg art (TV). I was hooked! I’ve been doing eggshell art for over 20 years and found my eclectic style. I love learning, sharing, and teaching the tips and tricks of egg art. As part of the New England Egg Art Guild for years, president for one year, I didn’t see new members coming to sharing our passion. Also, when we retired in Maine, nobody had even heard about this fantastic art. I’ve been on a mission to get the word out ever since. I also own Crafters Choice LLC which sells egg art supplies. I’m so happy to have been invited to join the EAI team and looking forward to starting “Egg Art of the Northeast” – stay tuned!

< Back Sandy Steiger MAP Judge My names is Sandy Steiger. I live in Bath, Ohio. I have been decorating eggs since I first learned how to make a duck egg jewelry box, that Mary Lou Crawford taught me. That was almost 53 years ago! Her husband grew up with my dad and Lou sent an egg over to my mom and I asked her husband if I could come over and learn how to do the eggs. So I stayed over Thanksgiving weekend and made my first egg. So on and off I have been decorating and designing eggs. My favorites are beaded eggs, and making something different each Christmas for my kids. Those have been my best eggs. I love thinking of something that would be special for them. I belong to the Ohio Egg Art Guild. We have a show every spring. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the first show. I have made so many friends doing eggs. And most of them do a different form of egg art. I like to learn all the different ways to decorate the eggs. To me it’s so relaxing, I can’t start an egg and let it sit not finished. I have to work till it’s done. And they never turn out the way I plan, because I change this and that, so it’s always a surprise when it’s done.

< Back John Drlik-Mead March 4, 2024 Gold Award CATEGORY: Intricately Cut PATHWAY: Accelerated TYPE OF EGGS: Ostrich Authentic Ostrich Egg, with an original abstract spiral cut design, showcasing the intricately carved Giraffe Stippled Lattice design. The egg top and bottom are accented with a circular area that is stippled. A portion of the spiral cutout is stippled and mounted to the egg design bottom, appearing to seemingly float in supporting the egg. The egg is supported by a smokey translucent Flame-Glass cylinder and Mounted to a 4”x4”x2” Black Onyx Marble base. The egg was finished with 3 coats of Shop-Line 2x matte automobile clear coat finish. Due to the dark base & glass cylinder color, a neutral background color was used in the pictures to profile the art piece detail in its entirety. I used the SCM 400XS High Speed carver, with a variety of burrs, (surgical fissure, and other carbide burrs, diamond burrs). Previous Next

< Back Dani Fausek Marketing, MAP judge Hi! I joined Egg Art International in the hopes of promoting this truly international organization. I was trained to be a judge by Judy Guinnard and will be helping the MAP team in this area.

< Back Hajnalka Aszalos EAI Representative for Hungary, MAP Judge I am Hajnalka Aszalós from Hungary. My mother learned porcelain painting from the best masters in Herend. I grew up in Szeged, and with my mother, who was also my Master, I got to know several areas of art and applied arts. It was here that I learned all the little tricks of this craft and the love of it. Over time, I started to work in several art forms: glass painting, oil paintings, graphics, wall painting, and then I started making lamps from thieves... Also, egg painting became a great love of mine over the years. The main stylistic direction in which I create is the Art Nouveau style, but I have also processed several Hungarian folk art motifs in my works. Now I live in Pásztó with my partner, and together with him we have created my own little workshop here, where I give a glimpse into the secrets of the workshop, as well as provide opportunities in several areas for visitors to make and create something beautiful with their own hands. We are currently working on my exhibition hall, which will hopefully be completed this year and will also be open to visitors.
