Egg carving technology

Egg carving technology Egg carving is a folk handicraft that has gradually flourished in recent years. There are many kinds of egg carving crafts. One is to carve figures, landscapes, flowers and birds on the egg shell with a carving knife. After the pattern is formed, its effect is similar to that of sketch or line drawing in art; The other is to choose goose eggs, ostrich eggs and other poultry eggs with thicker texture as materials and carve them by bas-relief or hollowing out. After the egg carving work is completed, it is necessary to remove the egg liquid and disinfect it. Because the eggshell is thin and brittle, it is very difficult to carve on it, so egg carving is rare in the market at present. Since ancient times, the function of eggshell seems to be limited to a packaging container created by nature. When the life hatched, eggshell lost its function and only became part of fertilizer at most. However, after Christianity was introduced into Europe, around the Middle Ages, people began to paint and decorate the shell of Yang Hongwu-ostrich egg carving "Peacock Fairy" with the meaning of "rebirth" and "rebirth", which made it an Easter ornament. This custom is still popular in Europe and America, which is deeply influenced by Christianity. However, it is the Faberge family that has contributed to the promotion of decorative eggs to the realm of art.
