Occasionally an egg will break during the cutting, shipping to me or it may have a hairline fracture.  One of the broken eggs I turned into a throne for a small doll and the daughter of the (former) Shah of Iran purchased it a few years ago from the New York shop.  The rest, I turn into pin cushions that sometimes open to hold thimbles and other little things.

Lynne's other great love is quilting!  So, of course, she uses pins and needles.  Naturally, she would create a pin cushion out of the unbroken half (yes, they DO break from time to time) of a triple yolk goose egg using her special red/gold paint with 22K goldplated embellishments, gold chain, Swarovski rhinestones and a vintage collar pin.

This was a HUGE ostrich egg that was damaged in shipping.  I evened out the large hole and turned it into a sewing caddy with pin cushion, hole for scissors or pen, and a long drawer.  It makes a great desk caddy as well with the cushion being used for tacks.  Peacock feather are the main decoration and look fabulous with the 22K goldplated embellishments.Enter content here
