Cracking good art: Chinese man creates intricate sculptures from EGG SHELLS
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | December 26, 2012 16:21These pictures show the incredible sculptures carved from egg shells by Chinese artist Wen Fuliang.
Wen, ofShaanxiprovince, was laid off from his job as a wood carver and turned to the unusual and skillful form of art to make ends meet.
He uses chicken, goose and duck eggshells to carve out places of interest, such as the iconic Dayan Pagoda inXi’an.
Wen Fuliang has practiced eggshell carving for more than ten years.
Egg carving is done using a fine diamond bit on an electric rotary tool. The artist sketches a design on the shell, which has been carefully emptied of the yolk and egg white with a syringe.
They must then gently but securely hold the egg shell in one hand, the rotary tool in the other and slowly carve away the design in an incredibly time-consuming and skillful process.
