Easter Egg Craft

The introduction of eggshell crafts breaks through the traditional form of Easter eggs, can no longer consider the problem of "eating". Modern Europe, a wide variety of poultry eggs eggshell decorative means endless, egg mosaic art, egg enamel art, egg mounting techniques, egg makeup wrapping techniques, egg batik techniques, egg making skills and egg electromechanical application of technology and so on, and later developed the egg embroidery art. Insiders in the industry to use the above means of decoration processed eggshell crafts collectively referred to as "decorative eggs". So far, the resurrection of the egg family not only has the traditional dyed eggs and egg painting, but also derived from the colorful, different forms of decorative eggs.

Decorative egg art when the first master egg inlay art, in pursuit of luxury, European history, the royal family and aristocrats competed with expensive gold and silver jewelry as inlays to process the eggs, in order to produce a more exquisite appearance of the eggshell artifacts. There have been many valuable and amazing works, the most famous of which is the famous Russian goldsmith, arts and crafts designer Karl Gustavovich Faberge (Karl Gustavovich Faberge, 1846 ~ 1920) from 1885 to 1916 for the Czar's royal family has produced more than fifty royal resurrection eggs, and there are still ten collections in the On January 08, 2004, the Forbes family, a wealthy American family, announced that they would put their collection of nine Tsarist Royal Easter Eggs up for auction at Sotheby's in New York.

As mentioned earlier, the early resurrection eggs were egg craft foods, and eggshell crafts were produced in the late Renaissance in Europe. In this way, the Easter egg was divided into two things of different nature. One belonged to food, while the other belonged to crafts, and both of them were made from poultry eggs. However, eggs have a weakness, that is, after cooking the flavor is not rich enough, children do not particularly love to eat. Therefore, people invented the imitation of the shape of the egg, the use of chocolate, flour and other edible materials to make the imitation of the egg craft food. Eggs also have a weakness in that they are easily damaged. In accordance with religious customs, Easter to hold a "treasure hunt" activities, that is, to hide the Easter eggs for children to look for, I believe that who found the Easter eggs who will be good luck, and looking for the process of poultry eggs are often broken. So, people invented the shape of imitation eggs, the use of wood, leather and other non-edible materials made of imitation egg crafts.

The egg craft foods, eggshell crafts, egg imitation craft foods and egg imitation crafts listed above all retain the basic properties of the resurrected egg. They exist in conjunction with each other and do not replace the former by the appearance of the latter, but merely serve as a substitute of sorts.
