The Great Horned Owl is native to all of the Americas and can live in dry warm areas as well as this cool green forest. This large, daring hunter is perched on a branch waiting to spot his prey with his large gold eyes. The egg is permanently mounted on a wooden base stained dark brown. The circular support has textured wood grain detail.
My egg creations make unique gifts for the one who has everything, or for you!
I've painted ostrich eggs for 30+ years. My artwork is original, freehand designs using acrylic paints - no decoupage or stickers. Glazing, blending and a focus on detail adds depth to produce realistic representations. Completed artwork is protected with three coats of polyurethane varnish to give a glass-like shine and durable finish. To clean, use a soft, slightly damp cloth, as needed.
Ostrich eggshells are the largest and thickest shell in the world and averages about 15"" in diameter, 6" high and 1/16" thick. One ostrich egg is equal to approximately 24 chicken eggs and can withstand the weight of a 300-pound bird sitting on them. But don't worry.... no baby ostriches are hurt for my eggs. My supplier uses infertile eggs. They are drained through a hole in the bottom, cleaned, hotsell sanitized, and ready to paint!
