More Egg-cellent Art!
At Easter time many of us paint Easter eggs together with our families. The Easter egg is a symbol of the Risen Christ and the Resurrection. Out of the tomb comes new life, just like an egg and a chick hatching. Artists have been painting images of Christ and Easter symbols onto their eggs for many centuries. Below are some contemporary artists that create many different types of art on their eggs!
Modern master Franc Grom creates and sells eggs that may outshine the 19th-century Russian jeweler's Easter bling. Shown at work on Wednesday in Vrhnika, Slovenia, Grom uses an electric boring tool to drill approximately 2,500 to 3,500 holes in an eggshell. Inspired by traditional Slovenian designs, he has been known to pierce a shell as many as 17,000 times. -National Geographic |
