Description

The name of my piece is Brother against Brother. It is a civil war scene that was hand carved with my high speed engraver. I also created the base from another emu shell from a hatched emu and put a quotation from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. I used many different bits to get the desired effect.

Artist Bio

My name is Katy Wilson, I have been into crafts my entire life. From gluing and coloring dry pasta when I was a child to my current love of egg carving and etching. I have been carving eggs for the last 2 years. I love the Emu egg for the variety of colors and the reaction from people when you tell them that it is all natural colors and no paint is used. I found a local Emu farmer Jim Barr to purchase my eggs from. He was the one that told me about this contest and suggested I should enter it.
