"Egg"ceptional quality
So how many of you have ever tried to get the egg out of the eggshell without breaking it? I know what you're saying, you have to break the eggshell to get the egg out! I have tried the technique where you pop two small holes and try to blow the egg out, but I have never had a lot of luck with that.
But Piotr Bockenheim has not only figured out how to get the egg out of Goose shells, but he has figured out how to use a drill, I don't know what kind, to get beautiful geometric designs carved into the eggshell.
So what are your thoughts on these beautiful eggs? Can you think of a medium that would be even more fragile and harder to work with? Do you think he designs his ideas before he starts or do you think is a medium that you just have to let your imagination flow?

it's amazing how he got the eggs to look like that. he would have to have a really steady hand to carve the egg with such designs. it's very beautiful, they would make really good design pieces
ReplyDeleteI always thought of egg shells as really fragile. You would have a to be really careful if you were going to attempt this project. I think that its a really good idea. Its different than most materials that people dare to use.
ReplyDeleteThese eggs look beautiful. It must have took a lot of patience and being delicate to make these.
ReplyDeleteThis is very inspiring. The amount of time to do this I could never have the patience for.
ReplyDeleteThese eggs are very unique, these must have taken a while to do and you would need a lot of patience to do them.
ReplyDeletethis is amazing how they made it into a egg
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! It would be hard to do with an egg shell though! You would have to be very careful
ReplyDeletei think these eggs are pretty neat. they look like they were made very meticulously and with very precise hands. I think it looks like it could be made out of a play-doh/clay substance which would be very hard to do.
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! This would take a lot of time and patients. I wish I could do that.
ReplyDeleteThese are some fancy eggs. I want to know how they did not break. I wonder if the artist put something on them to make the shells harder to break. I love ho much detail is used on them. I wonder what kind of tool they used to do this? My favorite one is the very top one where they put a light under it.
ReplyDeletei can only imagine the amount that broke in the process of making these, i would get very frustrated very fast
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many tries it took this artist to do this, i would get frustrated! But, it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteits really cool to looke at i think on this one u gatt let your imagtions flow becouse its really cool and i wonder hoe he come up with the idea
ReplyDeleteThat would be so hard and i could never do it, it looks cool and would be an amazing work if you could nail it
ReplyDeleteok there is no way these are real eggs....like HOW can a person do this without breaking the shell?!?!?!??!!!!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW?
ReplyDeletethey look good. they are hard to do. they are not real eggs
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. The detail is so cool. The time it must have taken to do this must have been a lot. This is so amazing.
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool, although i have to think it was a laser drill he used. A more interesting medium to use would be to take old china dolls and carve designs in their surface. That would truly be cool to look at, although i think he would have to use a laser drill for sure with them.
ReplyDeleteI think they are pretty. I would like to try to make one. I like the one that looks like bricks. I think I would break them.
ReplyDeleteI cant begin to imagine the amount of aggravation from this project. I wouldn't ave enough patients for this project even though this is really cool work of art!
ReplyDeletethis is crazy. i don't get how they can make it that thin without it breaking. i couldn't do this because i would break it.
ReplyDeleteThat is super cool. There is no way i could be that gentle and have that much patience to make something out of egg shells.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea. I would have never thought of making something like this. It looks like it would take a bunch of time to do!
ReplyDeleteI have heard that if you put a match in a bottle, and put an egg over the top, it will take the egg out without hurting the shell much. Anyway, I think that the only thing more delicate than an egg is probably glass. Have you ever seen people blow glass bubbles? The eggs are very cool too.
ReplyDeleteI think these are really cool. It would be very hard to carve that with out breaking it.
ReplyDeleteI would've never guessed they were actually egg shells. Potato chips and glass are also two very fragile mediums. I would imagine he definitely designs them before but goes with the flow if he would happen to mess up.
ReplyDeletethis is cool how they shaped the egg like this but it would take some skill to make it like not brake
ReplyDeleteHow could they do that with out breaking the shell is totally beyond me!!!!!
ReplyDeletewow that's really impressive that someone is able to make such intricate detail into an egg with cracking it. I know i can barely hold one without cracking it. The drill he uses must be really soft or not that powerful or maybe goose shells are really tough, i don't know. But it probably takes a ton of time to get the design in since you'd have to be careful not to crack it.
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool but looks quite impossible. Where did the man even come up with the idea. I think he uses magic and just lets people believe that he used some kind of tool to design it.Does he clean inside the egg shell after he's done designing it because i don't know if it smell or rot or whatever.

ReplyDeletei think that the artist did plan this out well and did put the time to map it out. obviously i think it would be harder at the top of the egg since it gets so small. but the artist defiantly has talent
ReplyDeleteNow this is something I would love to do!! I am always looking for a new way to decorate a little table or something. This would be so cool to make!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I love that the artist was able to make beautiful art out of delicate eggs. I think it would be fun to try to do this, even if they didn't turn out right.
ReplyDeleteI think this is really cool because egg shells are so fragile and I don't get of how someone could create such a beautiful peace out of something so simple as egg shells.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting! the designs and styles of the eggs are very elegant! i wish i could do something like this.
ReplyDeleteI hope that this artist didn't make the same amount of money on all of these eggs. Some of them are actually very cool and interesting, but others are just dumb and i dont like them at all.
ReplyDeleteI love how unique this art is. They look so fragile and makes you realize how hard they would be to make these eggs without breaking them.
