I think of eggshells as beautiful natural objects, but a Taiwanese artist sees them as raw materials for his artwork -- even though this video is in Chinese, I think it is fascinating nonetheless [3:23]

Fascinating. I've seen Ostrich eggs which have been carved, it is a beautiful art, I love it.
come on ,he is not a Japanese, He is a Taiwanese.
they are speaking in Mandarin.
this is a Taiwan program introduce all good thing in Taiwan.
Ok. How does he get the eggs out of the shells without breaking the shells??? (Some of his art doesn't seem to have ANY holes in it) Why are HIS shells so clean??? Anything I tried to do in this area would break......or dissolve....lol.
Some of the eggs are emu eggs. They are neat because they are green and rough on the outside - similar to an avocado - but creamy white inside or even a little down into the shell. You can see where he has carved some that are green and white - he has cut just down into the white and left the green. Beautiful and amazingly skillful work! Artists also paint on eggs - I was commissioned to do paintings on several emu eggs which were then displayed and sold by a company that sold emu products as a promotional deal. It was definately differnt!
