This Egyptian inspired egg, Scarabaeus seed belongs to the collection Kyanomorpha. It depicts an Egyptian scarab painted with acrylic and real green shimmering wings of may bugs and tiny beads.
Kyanomorpha is a series of painted eggs with two dominating colours, as the name suggests: kyano (blue) and white. The technique is similar to pâte-sur-pâte of the porcelain decoration. A short film was created during the process. Watch how these hand-painted eggshells were made: “Creating Forms”.
