What inspired you to make this project?
Just as birds fly over every part of the world,
eggs have been symbols of life, creative potential, fertility, good luck and hope, virtually everywhere throughout history. We love to create beautiful things from this
ancient, humble, and common material. Googling craft ideas one sleepless night in 2014, Morgan saw a mosaic made with eggshells, and thought it would be fun to try. In 2015, we visited Öland, where Morgan’s grandmother Amy grew up on a small farm. Standing inside the crumbling chicken coop, it just made sense to create things with eggshells.
