9 EGGS - The Collection: A Post Faberge' Journey

9 EGGS - The Collection: A Post Faberg' Journey is an opulent visual feast showcasing a series of nine sculptures rendered in orgies of gold leaf, gems, and enamel. Based on the collection and lushly photographed in vibrant detail, "9 EGGS – The Collection" the book is a sumptuous journey through an incredible collection of objet d'art. 

Re-purposing, de-constructing, and re-creating the discarded into something new is intrinsic to each piece, utilizing select bits of jewelry, enamel, brass, marble, semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, and paste gems. Leaving Easter Eggs to Fabergé, these post-Faberge' eggs explore rich designs and themes unique to the artist/author’s interpretation of the egg.
