That's right boy's and girls,Easter Eggs. I have family in Ukraine and each year I receive a package from my aunt containing about 30-40 assorted handcrafted Easter eggs.She and my 2 cousins make these when time allows and then they send them to me to sell for them and I send the funds back to them.If you think living here can be difficult during these economic times,you should try it in Ukraine. They live in a small village and each day is a struggle.The sale of these and some other assorted art/crafts plays a huge role in their subsistence.
These are created using a very involved, detailed process and takes years of practice,steady hands,patience of a Saint and vision.
Here is a history about them and the painstaking process.

I have sold all except for these last three and the wifey said"Why don't you post in on the knife forum you live on? You certainly spend enough
there". She can be sooo :grumpy: at times
Then I thought,why not? You all certainly appreciate fine craftsmanship and I have certainly seen some strange stuff for sale here.
These sold for 100.00 for the goose eggs and 50.00 for the regular.I am asking for 75.00 and 25.00 respectively or your kindest offer.
All fees included as well as very careful packaging,inurance and shipping to your door. Each is one of a king and takes many exhausting hours to
create.
Also keep in mind,each penny will be sent back to Ukraine and your generosity would help provide for needy people.
Have these in time for Easter and you'll be the only kid on the block with one of these gems.
Thank you for looking.
I have more detailed pics of each per request featuring the side panels.These are blown out and the interiors coated with beeswax.
