卵の殻のブローチとペンダント Eggshell brooches and pendants

                             I made this pin by writing on goose eggshell with hot beeswax
                             and dyeing the different colors onto the shell.  Then I acid-
                             etch the pattern into the shell.  This is the eight-pointed star which
                             symbolizes life itself, purity, and the Divine Will or Eye of God.  It
                             can be worn as a pin or a pendant.  It's a little more than 3 1/2
                             centimeters tall.

                        
                         This one was made the same way.  In the Ukrainian tradition, birds
                         symbolize fulfillment of wishes, fertility, and pushing away evil.  Trees
                         symbolize renewal and creation.

                     
                      Flowers symbolize the female principle; love, charity, elegance, beauty,
                      and wisdom.

                                                      Here's what the back looks like.
